    Notes: Abstract The aim of the study reported here was to test the validity of a simple clinical classification of acute ischaemic stroke (Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, OCSP) in predicting the site and size of cerebral infarction on computed tomography (CT). Consecutive patients admitted to hospital with acute ischaemic stroke were prospectively identified and classified into one of four clinical syndromes according to the OCSP classification, blind to the result of CT. The CT brain scans were classified blind to the clinical features into those demonstrating: small, medium or large cortical infarcts; small or large subcortical infarcts in the anterior circulation territory; and posterior cerebral circulation territory infarcts. A total of 108 patients were included. A recent infarct was seen. on the CT scan in 91 patients (84%), and the clinical classification correctly predicted the site and size of the cerebral infarct in 80 of these (88%; 95% confidence interval 77–92%). The positive predictive value was best for large cortical infarcts (0.94) and worst for small subcortical infarcts (0.63). The OCSP clinical classification is a reasonably valid way of predicting the site and size of cerebral infarction on CT and can, therefore, be used very early after stroke onset before the infarct appears on the scan.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Neuf cas d'arthrose cervicale, à l'origine de symptômes sévères et prolongés, ont été étudiés par myélographie couplée à un examen tomodensitométrique en utilisant la même injection de produit de contraste. Dans tous les cas existaient des signes radiologiques de cervicarthrose et les patients étaient programmés pour un abord antérieur du rachis cervical en vue d'une arthrodèse intersomatique. Tous avaient un bilan clinique, électromyographique et radiographique complet avant l'examen tomodensitométrique. L'examen électromyographique a permis dans trois cas de mettre en évidence l'atteinte de plusieurs étages. De même l'examen radiographique a toujours montré une atteinte pluriétagée. La myélographie a visualisé une compression du sac dural dans trois cas sur cinq mais sans jamais révéler l'absence d'injection d'une racine nerveuse. Lorsque la myélographie était couplée à un examen tomodensitométrique les renseignements étaient plus précis: atteinte des articulations de Lushka et interapophysaires, existence d'une compression centrale et/ou latérale. Dans trois cas les constatations opératoires ont confirmé les données de la tomodensitométrie alors que la myélographie seule n'avait pas montré la présence d'importants ostéophytes.
    Notes: Summary Nine patients with severe and prolonged signs and symptoms due to cervical spondylosis had myelography followed by a CT Scan using the same injection of intrathecal contrast. All patients had radiographic changes of cervical spine degeneration and were being considered for exploration and fusion of the anterior cervical spine. All patients had a full clinical evaluation, EMG studies and plain radiographs taken prior to their CT Scan. EMG readings showed several levels of compression in three patients but did not indicate a single level in any. Plain radiography showed multiple level involvement in every patient. Myelography indicated significant indentation in three of five patients with clinical signs but did not demonstrate root cut off in any case. CT Myelography indicated the degree of Lushka and facet joint involvement, indentation, exit foramen encroachment, and the degree of spinal stenosis at the involved segment. In three patients, the findings at operation correlated closely with the CT Scans. Myelography failed to indicate the presence of significant osteophytes in these two cases.

    Notes: Summary A case of intracerebral and spinal vascular malformations in a patient without hereditary haemorrhagic telangectasia is presented. The spinal vascular malformation was cryptic and its true nature was only revealed by MRI.

    Notes: Summary Caudate nucleus atrophy occurs in Huntington's disease and methods of measuring this have been described using axial CT, but these are indirect and lack sensitivity. We measured caudate nucleus area (blind to the subjects' clinical state) in 30 subjects with or at risk of Huntington's disease, and in 100 normal age matched controls. Fifteen subjects with established symptomatic Huntington's disease, 3 with early symptoms, and 3 presymptomatic subjects (2 showing a high probability for the Huntington's disease gene on genetic testing, and one who has since developed symptoms) were correctly identified. Three normal (gene negative) family members were also correctly identified. Outcome is awaited in 6. CT caudate area measurement is simple and reproducible and we have found it to be a useful confirmatory test for Huntington's disease.

    Notes: Abstract Status epilepticus is usually a straightforward diagnosis when a patient has two or more seizures without regaining consciousness. However, when status is nonconvulsive and, in particular, has a temporal lobe flavour the clinical presentation may be misleading. Presentation with automatic or psychic behaviour is well recorded. We report a patient with nonconvulsive status who presented with progressive dysphasia with widespread CT and MRI changes. The dysphasia and imaging changes led to a diagnosis of a probable neoplastic brain process but reversed with anticonvulsant treatment.
