Benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy evolving to Jeavons syndrome.

Benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy is a rare idiopathic generalized epileptic syndrome occurring below the age of 3 years. Although benign outcome is presumed, some recent studies suggest less favorable outcome. A 14-year-old boy had a history of repeated episodes of myoclonic jerks of the shoulders and upper limbs in infancy (age 5 months).

Neurological manifestations revealing primitive Gougerot-Sjogren syndrome: 9 cases.

Introduction: Neurological manifestations in Gougerot-Sjogren syndrome (GSS) are valued differently. This is essentially the achievement of the peripheral nervous system.

Methods: We report 9 cases of neurological manifestation revealing primitive Gougerot-Sjogren syndrome collected over a period of 8 years (1997-2004).

[Cauda equina syndrome leading to diagnosis of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the spine].

Introduction: Malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymphoid proliferation. Peripheral neuropathies are observed in only 2-8% of cases.

Case: We report a case in which cauda equina syndrome in a 29-year-old man led to the diagnosis of a painless non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the spine.
