Abstract
Between 1993 and 1995, we observed five sporadic cases of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) which in all cases preceded the appearance of typical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The FTD rapidly became severe (within 12-18 months) and the delay between the presumed onset of mental change and ALS was short (12-26 months). The frontal dysfunction was characteristic (disinhibited, jocular, impatient, gluttonous, stereotypical gestures). The language impairment (less talkative, persistent errors, fantastic and semantic paraphasia, neologistic errors, echolalia) was constant. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 99 Tcm HMPAO (hexamethyl propylamine oxime) was done at the same time as neuropsychological testing in four cases and showed serious diffuse bifrontal defect, sometimes with less serious internal temporal hypofixation. All patients died with bulbar ALS complications. The total course can last from 14-48 months. Most of the reported cases suggested a relationship between dementia-ALS and frontal dysfunction. The mechanism underlying dementia-ALS remains to be solved. Our five cases resemble those reported by Mitsuyama (1993), who suggested that dementia-ALS has the same clinicopathological entity.

Abstract
A prospective psychometric study was conducted in 16 patients who recently developed classic sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and had no signs of anxiety or depression. Tests included PM38, MMS, Rey word and Rey image tests, span, Stroop test, verbal fluency, Wisconsin test and London Tower test coupled with 99m Tc HMPAO tomography. Results demonstrated that the patients had no intellectual degradation nor visual constructive disorders but had disturbed verbal and visual memory with a reduced verbal fluency (particular bulbar forms), perseverance errors on the Wisconsin test (half of the cases) and an increased number of movements in the London Tower test. These disorders were moderate with no clinical impact and variable (the neuropsycological examination was normal in 4/16 patients). 99m Tc HMPAO tomography was normal in 4 cases, showed slight rolandic hypoperfusion in 6 and extensive hypoperfusion outside the motor zone in 2. Visual analysis of the 99m Tc HMPAO images did not reveal any clinico-metabolic correlations.

Abstract
Cerebral energy metabolism was studied by positron emission tomography and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose in five patients with clinical diagnoses of probable corticobasal degeneration. A reduction in glucose consumption was observed in most cortical and subcortical structures compared to age-matched controls. The reduction was greatest on the side of the brain contralateral to the most affected limbs, as shown by the significantly lower ratios of contralateral to homolateral metabolic rates, in the temporal and sensorimotor cortex of patients compared to controls. A distinct asymmetry between the two hemispheres could be observed in a patient who was examined twice in the course of his illness. Detection of this asymmetrical decrease in brain cortical and subcortical glucose metabolism may prove useful as additional evidence supporting clinical diagnoses of the disease.

Abstract
Serological monitoring was performed in 13 cases of herpetic encephalitis (one infant and 12 adults). Samples taken simultaneously from blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were tested before and after initiation of antiviral treatment. Antiherpesvirus (anti-HSV) antibodies were assayed by an ELISA method. The state of the blood-brain barrier was controlled by assaying other antiviral antibodies. Immune response was studied during the 3-to-4 weeks of the course of the infection. Anti-HSV IgG levels in CSF increased markedly after 12 days. At the same time, antibody serum/CSF ratios dropped below a value of 20, indicating intrathecal secretion of the antibody. Based on results in monitoring these 13 cases, it may be suggested that 3 samples of serum and CSF are required to confirm the herpetic etiology, including 2 samples taken during the second week of the course of encephalitis.

Abstract
Twelve patients with chronic renal failure, on maintenance hemodialysis have a stereotyped illness. The dialysate was made up from a high level aluminium tap water. After having been on haemodialysis for 10 to 12 months, they suffer from more and more acute osteodystrophic, osteomalacic symptoms. Then, distinctive EEG abnormalities appear. These first symptoms allow an early diagnosis of the progressive dialytic encephalopathy. The neurological symptoms appear some months later. Eight patients died from this encephalopathy. Four patients are still alive and are, from at least two years, on maintenance haemodialysis with a free aluminium water. In these 4 cases, the evolution of the disease is good: osteomalacic symptoms disappear in a year; the neurological symptoms are still present though transient. EEG abnormalities remain and blood aluminium level is about 100 micrograms/L. These cases show, once more, the significant role of aluminium as an aetiological factor in "progressive dialysis encephalopathy".

Abstract
On the basis of a case of almost pure involvement of the anterior horn with chronic progression in an individual with a low thoracic herniated disc (T12-L1), the hypothesis is discussed of the role of ischaemia of the lumbar swelling. Angiographic arguments (displacement of the anterior spinal axis and unusual distribution of anterior spinal afferents) perhaps make it reasonable to speak of "chronic ischaemic poliomyelitis" in the absence of pathological examination.

Abstract
The authors have reported the case of a 65 year old woman followed for almost 4 years with an akineticrigid Parkinsonian syndrome which responded well to levodopa. Waning of response finally occurred and despite the addition of a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor the patient died suddenly. Autopsy examination revealed pure nigro-striatal degeneration without any additional pathology. The report deals primarily with purity of the Parkinsonian picture and especially with the conspicuous and prolonged effect of levodopa.
