Chronic anterior tibial compartment syndrome. A light-microscopic, histochemical and electronmicroscopic analysis.

A case of chronic anterior tibial compartment syndrome is reported where the entity was accompanied with a primary neurogenic type of muscle atrophy. Histology, histochemistry and electronmicroscopy indicated the diagnosis. The authors concluded that in a moderate case of leg trauma with peroneal nerve involvement, when it is complicated by intermittent arterial spasm, the anterior tibial compartment syndrome may develop chronically.

The value of electroencephalographic recordings in dialysis encephalopathy: case-reports and review of literature.

The electroencephalographic abnormalities with dialysis dementia are described in five patients with this disorder. The tracings of all patients showed a mild to moderate slowing of the background rhythm, intermixed with paroxysmal and rhythmic waves, most prominent on the frontal areas. Epileptiform discharges were seen in only one record.
