Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An association between atrial septal aneurysm and embolic events has been suggested. Atrial septal aneurysm has been shown to be associated with patent foramen ovale and, in some reports, with mitral valve prolapse. These two latter cardiac disorders have been identified as potential risk factors for ischemic stroke. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the role of atrial septal aneurysm as an independent risk factor for stroke, especially for cryptogenic stroke. METHODS We studied the prevalence of atrial septal aneurysm, patent foramen ovale, and mitral valve prolapse in 100 consecutive patients < 55 years of age with ischemic stroke who underwent extensive etiological investigations. We compared these results with those in a control group of 50 consecutive patients. The diagnosis of atrial septal aneurysm and patent foramen ovale relied on transesophageal echocardiography with a contrast study and that of mitral valve prolapse, on two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. RESULTS Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that atrial septal aneurysm (odds ratio, 4.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 14.6; P = .01) and patent foramen ovale (odds ratio, 3.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.5 to 10; P = .003) but not mitral valve prolapse were significantly associated with the diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke. The stroke odds of a patient with both atrial septal aneurysm and patent foramen ovale were 33.3 times (95% confidence interval, 4.1 to 270) the stroke odds of a patient with neither of these cardiac disorders. For a patient with atrial septal aneurysm of > 10-mm excursion, the stroke odds were approximately 8 times the stroke odds of a patient with atrial septal aneurysm of < 10 mm. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that atrial septal aneurysm and patent foramen ovale are both significantly associated with cryptogenic stroke and that their association has a marked synergistic effect. Atrial septal aneurysms of > 10-mm excursion are associated with a higher risk of stroke.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant familial spastic paraplegia (FSP) is a degenerative disorder of unknown aetiology characterized by a progressive spasticity of the legs. Three families with autosomal dominant FSP of early onset were analysed in linkage studies using highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. Close linkage to a group of markers on chromosome 14q (maximum multipoint lodscore z = 10) was observed in one family. This chromosome 14q candidate region was entirely excluded in the two other families, providing evidence of genetic heterogeneity within a homogeneous clinical form of FSP.

Abstract
We measured serum antibodies to botulinum toxin (ABT) in 96 patients with focal dystonia who had been treated with type A botulinum toxin. The frequency of detectable ABT was 3% (three patients). Patients with ABT had received more than 50 ng of botulinum toxin, and the shortest time between two injections was significantly less than in patients without ABT. The clinical evolution of the three patients was heterogeneous: one had decreased effectiveness with repeated injections, another had persistent improvement, and the third never responded to toxin injections.

Abstract
A family had a disorder characterized by (1) a pattern suggestive of autosomal dominant inheritance, (2) recurrent attacks of focal brain deficits starting in mid adulthood and often leading to severe motor disability with pseudobulbar palsy and dementia of the subcortical type, and (3) neuroimaging evidence of leukoencephalopathy and well-circumscribed lesions consistent with small deep infarcts. Some affected members were clinically asymptomatic but had MRI signs of leukoencephalopathy. Extensive investigations failed to uncover a previously described recognizable genetic disorder.

Abstract
The autosomal dominant forms of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies include the hypertrophic form (CMT1) and the neuronal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2). While at least two distinct loci have been shown to be linked to the CMT1 phenotype (CMT1A and CMT1B, on chromosomes 17 and 1, respectively), whether the CMT2 phenotype results from mutations allelic to either of the CMT1 genes remains unknown. Studying one CMT1 and two CMT2 pedigrees, we were able to exclude the CMT2 disease locus from the region of chromosome 17 (Z = -2.80 at theta = 0.05 for D17S58) where the CMT1A gene maps (Z = +3.67 at theta = 0.00). Similarly, negative lod score values were obtained in CMT2 for the region of chromosome 1 where the CMT1B gene has been located (Z = -3.09 at theta = 0.05 for D1S61). The present study therefore provides evidence for genetic heterogeneity between the hypertrophic and the neuronal forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and demonstrates that the CMT2 gene is not allelic to either of the CMT1 genes mapped to date.

Abstract
A 63-year-old woman developed gradual slowness, recurrent multifocal deficits, severe constitutional symptoms and hypopituitarism which progressed to death over 2.5 months. Elevation in lactico dehydrogenases was the main biological abnormality. Necropsy showed an intravascular malignant proliferation which proved to be a lymphoma of B-lineage. In order to better define diagnostic criteria, we reviewed previously reported cases of intravascular lymphomatosis of the central nervous system. A strategy for establishing the diagnosis is proposed.

Abstract
Regional cerebral perfusion was evaluated by single photon emission tomography (SPECT) using (99mTc)-HM-PAO as a tracer, in thirty Parkinsonian patients with (n = 15) or without (n = 15) dementia, nineteen patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) and thirteen control subjects. HM-PAO uptake was measured in the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital cortex and tracer perfusion was expressed as cortical/cerebellar activity ratios. Regional HM-PAO ratios in nondemented Parkinsonian patients did not differ from controls, whereas in demented patients with Parkinson's disease (DPD) a significant reduction was found in the parietal, temporal and occipital cortex. Tracer uptake ratios were significantly reduced in all regions in the DAT group. Thus DPD and DAT shared a common pattern of marked posterior hypoperfusion, although the perfusion defect was greater and more extensive in the DAT patients.

Abstract
Monomelic amyotrophy developed 16 months, nine and 12 years after irradiation of the lumbosacral spinal cord for seminoma in one patient and for Hodgkin's disease in two others. In two patients, involvement was clinically limited to one leg, with a subacute course followed by plateau in the first case and with progressive worsening in the second one. In the third patient, the course was progressive with involvement of the other lower limb occurring five years later. From clinical and electrophysiological data, it seems probable that the disease process was a result of a selective injury to the lower motor neuron in the lower spinal cord.

Abstract
We report the case of a 45-year old farmer who developed meningoradiculitis after preventive anti-rabies vaccination with a vaccine obtained from human diploid cell culture. Two weeks after the second injection of vaccine, the patient complained of sensory symptoms in the right half of his body. These symptoms spontaneously regressed. The literature is reviewed and the physiopathological hypotheses are discussed.

Abstract
Regional cerebral perfusion was evaluated by single photon emission computed tomography (SPET) using technetium 99m hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) as a tracer, in 13 control subjects and 44 age-matched patients suffering from dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT, n = 19), presumed Pick's disease (n = 5), idiopathic Parkinson's disease with dementia (DPD, n = 15) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP, n = 5). HMPAO uptake was measured in the superior frontal, inferior frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital cortices, and the perfusion values were expressed as cortical/cerebellar activity ratios. As compared with controls, tracer uptake ratios in the DAT group were significantly reduced over all cortical regions, with the largest defects in the parieto-temporal and superior frontal cortices. A marked hypoperfusion affecting the superior and inferior frontal cortices was found in Pick's disease, whereas a mild but significant hypoperfusion was observed only in the superior frontal cortex of patients with PSP. In the DPD group, HMPAO uptake was significantly reduced in the parietal, temporal and occipital cortices, but not in the frontal cortex. These results show that DAT and DPD share an opposite anteroposterior HMPAO uptake defect as compared with the Pick's and PSP groups.

Abstract
Cerebellar atrophy is often discovered at computerized tomography or MRI of the brain, but its exact cause is frequently difficult to determine. Alcoholism is the predominant factor, but numerous other diseases may also be considered. The diseases fall into two main categories: primary cerebellar degeneration with, in particular, olivo-ponto-cerebellar atrophy, and acquired atrophy which may be of paraneoplastic or endocrine origin or caused by toxic agents other than alcohol. In this review paper the stress is placed on the clinical, paraclinical and histological distinctive features of the different types of cerebellar atrophy. The modalities of onset and the course of these lesions are of particular importance. The authors propose a practical aid to the diagnosis in the form of a deliberately simplified diagram.

Abstract
Based on the examination of 400 patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, the main symptoms of motor and brain ageing have been underlined. Motor ageing is evidenced by the importance of akinesis, while rigor and quaking are limited, and by the arrival of dystonic attitudes which tend to last. Brain ageing is revealed by memory disturbances, mental disorders and delusions without phasic or praxis troubles. The comparative study of different types of dementia did not allow clinical or anatomopathological confirmation.

Abstract
The coexistence in an epileptic patient of a radiologically confirmed agenesis of the corpus callosum and other somatic abnormalities, notably skeletal, prompted us to perform a karyotype which showed an extra chromosome 8. The trisomy 8-callosal agenesis association is not exceptional, but it may easily be missed owing to the absence or scarcity of clinical signs of the cerebral malformation. We would suggest that patients with confirmed agenesis of the corpus callosum should be investigated for trisomy 8 and conversely, that patients with trisomy 8 detected during examination for a characteristic malformative syndrome should be systematically investigated for abnormality of the neocortical commissure.

Abstract
Conduction in the proximal segment of the sciatic nerve was assessed by recording the latencies of M and H responses from soleus muscle, in the distal segment by comparing the latencies of M waves from the abductor hallucis muscle, obtained by stimulating the tibial nerve in the popliteal fossa and at the ankle. Data from 30 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were compared with an age-matched group of healthy subjects. We observed an increase in the difference between the latencies of M and H responses from soleus, and a lengthening of the distal latency of the M wave from abductor hallucis. The motor conduction velocity of the tibial nerve was preserved. The functional significance of the data are discussed. It is suggested that they indicate a slowing of conduction in the proximal segment of the sciatic nerve and that they can be correlated with pathological findings in proximal nerves in ALS and in the experimental anterior horn cell disorder.

Abstract
The authors describe five cases of adrenomyeloneuropathy, an adult form of adrenoleukodystrophy. Three of the cases were related. The clinical picture comprises progressive spasmodic paraplegia, sphincter disorders, peripheral neuropathy, sometimes hollow foot and posterior columns disorders. In one case psychic disorders were observed. Biochemical analyses confirmed or revealed adrenal insufficiency in four cases and gonadal insufficiency in three cases. A detailed genealogical study was made in two patients belonging to the same family. Histocompatibility tests revealed the presence of A2 and B15 antigens in three cases. Diagnosis was confirmed in three cases by plasma determination of long-chain fatty acids, with an increase in the level of C26 acids and the C26/C22 ratio; biopsy of the peripheral nerve in one patient revealed inclusions characteristic of Schwann's cells. Symptomatological links between ALD and familial spasmodic paraplegia, the mode of genetic transmission of the disease, the contribution of neuromuscular biopsy to the diagnosis and the therapeutic prospects of a diet low in long-chain fatty acids are discussed.

Abstract
Initial reaction to the discovery of a carotid bruit in an adult is that a local atheromatous lesion exists. This sign may arise, however, when more distal lesions are present, such as an angioma provoking an increased rate of blood flow. All patients presenting with neurological signs of a lesion in one hemisphere should, therefore, in the absence of contra-indications, be investigated by arteriography.

Abstract
Visuomotor ataxia causes difficulty in the prehension of objects under visual control which can occur without paralysis of ocular fixation and spatial agnosia. This can involve the total visual field or the right or left half-fields, and can affect both hands or one only. 1) Unilateral visuomotor ataxia is localized to the two right or left homonymous half-fields and can affect both hands or one only. It is direct when the ataxic hand is on the same side as the affected visual half-field, and crossed when the ataxic hand is contralateral to the affected visual half-field. 2) Bilateral visuomotor ataxia involves the total visual field. Each hand may be ataxic only for the contralateral visual field with a crossed bilateral visuomotor ataxia, or in the homolateral field with a direct bilateral visuomotor ataxia. The anatomical and clinical observations reported imply the existence of visuomotor connections, both direct and crossed, the latter crossing the median line through the corpus callosum.

Abstract
Visuomotor ataxia is a disorder of movement performed under visual control. It can occur in the absence of disturbance of ocular fixation and in the absence of spatial agnosia. This disorder may extend over the whole visual field or it may be localized to one visual half-field, right or left. It may involve both hands or one hand only, so that visuomotor ataxia may be divided into: (1) Unilateral visuomotor ataxia, localized to a single field. In this case it may affect both hands or a single hand. It is direct when the hand is ataxic in the ipsilateral visual field and it is crossed when the hand is ataxic in the contralateral visual field; (2) Bilateral visuomotor ataxia, involving the whole visual field. Each hand may be ataxic only in the contralateral visual field, that is, bilateral crossed visuomotor ataxia; or in the ipsilateral field when it is called bilateral direct visuomotor ataxia. The observed clinical variations which are described here imply the existence of both direct and crossed visuomotor connections, the latter probably crossing the corpus callosum in the splenium.
