[Status of the carpal canal in compressive neuropathy of the median nerve (computerized-tomographic examination)].

Computer-aided tomography of the carpal canal was performed in 30 patients syndromes of the carpal canal and in 20 healthy persons. Topographoanatomic interrelations of carpal canal structures were specified, degenerative and dystrophic alterations of the carpal bones, proliferation of the connective tissue, displacement of carpal structures and of the median nerve itself were revealed.

[Ocular herpes zoster with contralateral hemiplegia].

A total of 375 patients with neurologic syndromes of herpes zoster were studied. Ten of them presented, along with the involvement of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve and other cranial nerves, contralateral pyramidal symptomatology. Apart from the typical syndrome of herpes zoster ophthalmicus with contralateral hemiplegia the authors distinguished clinical variants in which contralateral pyramidal symptomatology was associated with acute meningoencephalitis.
