[Acute hemorrhagic leucoencephalitis during tuberculosis (author's transl)].

The authors report a fairly typical clinico-pathological case of acute hemorragic leucoencephalitis (A.H.L.

[Association of multiple basal cell carcinomas of the face and spinocerebellar degeneration. Study of 4 familial cases including an anatomo-clinical description].

The authors report 4 cases of the morbid familial association revealing itself late in life (average age 37.7 years) including multiple basal cell carcinomas of the face and neurological and psychiatric symptoms, the most complete examples of which were severe, including mixed cerebello-spinal ataxia, involvement of the anterior horns of the spinal cord, a pyramidal syndrome and extra-pyramidal syndrome, abolition of the osteo-tendinous reflexes, dementia, paralysis of certain cranial nerves. These are associated constantly with increased glucose concentration in the cerebro-spinal fluid and dilatation of the cerebral ventricles.

[Familial form of cutaneous epitheliomatosis with complex neurological characteristics similar to hereditary spinocerebellar degeneration. Apropos of 4 cases including one case with anatomo-clinical description].

The authors report an observation in which four siblings were affected by both multiple cutaneous epitheliomatosis and complex but relatively stereotyped neurological disorders. Clinically, the main syndrome was cerebello-spinal ataxia with involvement of the anterior horns of the spinal cord with less marked pyramidal and extra-pyramidal features. Neuropathological examination of one of the cases revealed lesions of essentially cerebello-spinal degeneration suggestive of Menzel's disease.
