    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Gli AA hanno eaminato 88 soggetti (36 maschi e 52 femmine) affetti da sclerosi multipla ai quali sono stati applicati i questionari del CES-D e SRT per la valutazione delle reazioni depressive e del nevroticismo. Dalla comparazione dei risultati con quelli del gruppo di controllo, emergono differenze statisticamente significative nella popolazione esaminata per quanto riguarda depressione e somatizzazione mentre i punteggi per ansia ed inadeguatezza risultano normali.
    Notes: Abstract 88 subjects (36 males and 52 females) affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), were studied with the CES-D and SRT tests for the evaluation of depressive reactions and neuroticism. Comparing the results with those of the control group, we found a significant score for depression and somatization in the MS patients, whereas the scores for anxiety and inadequacy were normal.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei zwei Brüdern im Alter von 17 und 11 Jahren fanden sich Pes cavus, fehlende Muskeleigenreflexe, hochgradig gestörte Tiefensensibilität, eine Ataxie, ein Nystagmus, eine Dysarthrie und eine partielle Epilepsie mit myoklonischen Anfällen. Elektromyographisch ließ sich eine hochgradige Verlangsamung der motorischen Erregungsleitung an den unteren Extremitäten mit verlängerter distaler Latenz nachweisen. Eine Biopsie des Nervus peronaeus ergab einen vollständigen Myelinverlust zahlreicher Fasern. Sowohl der Vater wie 7 Onkel väterlicherseits hat einen Pes cavus, Hammerzehen und leichte periphere Sensibilitätsstörungen. Bei 3 von 7 Untersuchten fanden sich eine Verlangsamung der motorischen Erregungsleitung peripherer Nerven. EEG im Bereiche der Norm. Die epileptischen Anfälle manifestierten sich zunächst als Myoklonie der oberen rechten Extremitäten besonders während des Schlafes. Im EEG der beiden Exploranden zeigten sich fokale oder generalisierte epileptische Entladungen. Beim älteren der Brüder trat ein Status partialer motorischer Anfälle mit rechtsseitigen Adversiv-Attacken auf. Er starb plötzlich an einer Bronchopneumonie am 3. Tag des Status epilepticus. Die neuropathologische Untersuchung ergab eine nahezu vollständige Demyelinisierung des Tractus dentatorubralis und eine partielle Degeneration des Gollschen und Burdachschen Tractus im Halsmark. Die Zuordnung dieses Syndromes wird diskutiert und es wird eine autosomal dominante Vererbung mit unvollständiger Penetranz beziehungsweise unterschiedlicher Expressivität angenommen.
    Notes: Summary Two brothers, 17 and 11 years old, presented with pes cavus, absence of deep tendon reflexes, peripheral vibratory sensory loss, ataxia, tremor, nystagmus, dysarthria and partial myoclonic epilepsy. Electromyography showed severe slowing of motor conduction velocity in the lower extremities and increased distal latencies. A peroneal nerve biopsy showed absence of myelin sheath in most fibres resulting in numerous demyelinated nerve fibres. The father and seven uncles on the paternal side had pes cavus, hammer toes and moderate vibratory peripheral sensory loss. Three of seven siblings had slow motor conduction velocities on EMG. None had EEG abnormalities. Epilepsy started at an early age in both patients with myoclonic jerks of the right arm especially during sleep. EEG recordings were characterized by focal or diffuse epileptiform discharges. In the elder brother a partial motor epileptic status occurred with adversive seizures involving the right side of the body. He died of a broncopneumonia after 3 days of this epileptic status. Histopathological examination showed a severe demyelination of dentato-rubral pathways in the cerebellum and a partial degeneration of Goll and Burdach's tracts in the cervical spinal cord. The nosological classification of this syndrome is discussed and an autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance or variable expressivity is suggested.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Abbiamo valutato, in 40 pazienti affetti da forma severa di distrofia miotonica (MD), i disturbi cognitivi e i sintomi psichiatrici mediante test neuropsicologici (WAIS-R, MMSE) e mediante intervista semistrutturata e scala di autovalutazione (SADS, SRT). Come controllo abbiamo utilizzato 20 controlli sani. I pazienti con MD avevano punteggi significativamente più bassi di QI totale (p〈0.001), Verbale (p〈0.001) e non-Verbale (p〈0.001) del WAIS-R e al MMSE (p〈0.05) rispetto ai controlli. Il trentacinque per cento dei pazienti aveva una diagnosi psichica, di cui 17.5% avevano disturbi depressivi. I nostri dati confermano che i disturbi cognitivi e psichiatrici sono una manifestazione clinica importante nella distrofia miotonica.
    Notes: Abstract We evaluated 40 patients suffering from a severe form a myotonic dystrophy (MD) with neuropsychological (WAIS-R, MMSE) and psychiatric tests (SADS, SRT) for the assessment of cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. We tested 20 normal volunteers as control group. Patients with MD scored significantly, lower on WAIS Full Scale (p〈0.001), Verbal Scale (p〈0.001), and Performance Scale (p〈0.001) and on the MMSE (p〈0.05) than the controls. 35% of patients met the Research Diagnostic Criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis; 17.5% of them had a depressive disorder. The scores on SADS subscales and on the SRT scale of depression were also significantly higher in patients than in controls. Our data confirm that mental impairment and psychiatric disorders are important clinical manifestations of CNS dysfunction in the severe form on MD.
