JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFive children who had been treated brain surgery-one case of hemispherectomy caused byuncontrollable epilepsy, another of intracerebralhematoma and the others of head injurywere investigated of their type of organic lesions, age ofonset, the duration of speech therapy and the prognosis.
The duration of speech therapy varied fromthree months to four years. The first case, although his training had stareted in 15 yearsafter he had been performed left hemispheractomy, had shown improvement in speech and intelligence. Of the two other cases, one had contusionand severe brain edema but was able to work ata shop in a year and three months after thespeech therapy, and the other, who had sufferedfrom the left temporal intracerebral hematoma, improved and attended school in one year. Thelast two cases who had diffuse brain contusion, also showed a few signs of improvement.
The prognosis of severe cerebral damage inchildhood was better than that of adult cases.The young patients even when they had shownserious neurological or psychiatric symptoms aftertheir acute stage were able to improve if they hadreceived enough training for a long period oftime.View full abstractDownload PDF (1233K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA case of cerebral gigantism is presented inwhich there was marked growth in height andweight, macrocephalus, characteristic featuresand nonprogressive neurologic disorder withmental retardation.
On X-ray the skull was large with a normalsella turcica. Pheumoencephalography revealedslight enlargement of lateral ventricles and 3rdventricle. RI cisternography showed normal convexity flow without obstruction. Fasting plasmagrowth hormone level was normal.
The pathogenesis of the syndrome is unknown. It is necessary, from a surgical point of view, todifferentiate the syndrome with macrocepalusand ventricular dilatation from hydrocephalusdemanding early surgical treatment, and in thissense the other clinical signs of the syndrome andfindings of RI cisternography are very important.View full abstractDownload PDF (5369K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSOptic glioma associated with bilateral subduraleffusion in a four-month-old male infant was reported.
Clinical analysis of the cases with associationof subdural effusion or hematoma and braintumor in the world litereture was also performed.
When subdural effusion is found in newborn orolder infant, we should make sure whether or notan associated or masked brain tumor is presentsimultaneously. Care also should be taken tosearch for an underlying brain tumor and excludedural metastasis of extracranial malignant tumor, when we deal with chronic subdural hematoma in adult regardless of history of head injury.View full abstractDownload PDF (4495K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThere are few reports on the EEG of anencephalus. But any authors made no mention of themechanism of it's manifestation. Marking a linkin the chain of our studies on anencephalic brain, we report the EEG activity in our three cases ofanencephalus, which shows low and fast frequencies in lead of frontal region.
On the origin of EEG of anencephalus, we speculate that these records of electrical activitiesare taken from rostral part of these brain substance, i. e., the neurons of the pons, especially inthe reticular formation of the part, followingfrom the histological findings of serial brain sections in these cases.View full abstractDownload PDF (4696K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA relationship, if any, between oral doses of diphenylhydantoin(DPH) and serum levels ofDPH in 105 epileptic children treated with DPH only or DPH with phenobarbital (PB) was investigated.
Patients were divided into 4 groups according to their ages, namely, A: 0-2, B: 3-6, C: 7-11, and D: over 12 years old. There were statistically significant correlations between oral doses and serum levels of DPH in each group (p<0.01). Regression lines of oral doses against serum levels of DPH were calculated for eachgroup using the least-squares method. It wasfound that slopes of these regression lines were getting steeper with an advance in ages of patients.
Daily doses of DPH maintaining 10μg/ml of serum DPH levels, which has been previously reported to be effective to prevent seizures wereobtained from the regression lines which were obtained in the present experiment for individual groups: that is, 14.2mg per kg of body weightfor group A, 8.8mg for B, 7.3mg for C and 5.2mg for D. These results indicate that in the case ofyounger patients it is necessary to administratelarger doses of DPH than those recommendedusually.
In the case of children treated with both DPH and PB, serum levels of DPH were found to belower than those in group of children treated with DPH alone.View full abstractDownload PDF (680K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSJacob (1966) first described the fetal externalgranular layer surrounding pyramis; Jacob andthe authors (1973) described the same granularlayer in pons. In an adult case, suffered from asymmetric thalamus degeneration, the authorsfound heterotopic nerve cells in a subpial ectopicsubstance in the pontile basis as an incidentalfinding. In reference to the arrhinencepahlic infantwho showed the residua of fetal granular layescells in the pontile basis, reported by Jacob etal. (1973), it was discussed that the heterotopicnerve cells in the adult case would originate fromthe fetal external granular layer cells.View full abstractDownload PDF (4816K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSElectroencephalographic (EEG) findings of twocases with Tay-Sachs' disease (TSD) wereexamined during the course of the illness.
In the first case, EEG findings were characterized by low amplitude fast activity without paroxysmal discharges at 8 months of life. At 10months of age, slow waves which were superimposed by fast activity appeared, and at 16 months, high voltage slow waves (HVS) with multipleseizure discharges were observed.
In the second case, HVS with seizure discharges were found at the age of 17 months, andthose findings became not obvious at the age of 3years, and EEG became almost flat by 3 yearsand 4 months of age.
Frequency analyses of basic waves in both thecases, showed delta-dominancy after Morrell'sstage II.
Mean visual evoked potentials showed alreadyno responses to photic stimulations at the age of15 months for the first case, and 17 months for thesecond case.
These results revealed that at Morrell's stage I-II, EEG findings were low amplitude fastwaves and from the end of stage II, slow wavesand seizure discharges appeared, and that HVSwith multiple seizure discharges were found during stage III, and that amplitude of EEG decreased during stage IV, and finally. EEG becamefla.View full abstractDownload PDF (1992K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCharacteristic clinical features and biochemical findings in a case of Menkes kinky hair disease were reported here in detail, who was thefirst case reported in Japanese literature.
A male infant, died at the age of 2 years 2months, had unusual kinky hair, seizures andprogressive psychomotor disturbance. Selectivetype II muscle fiber atrophy in biopsied puadriceps muscle, metaphyseal spurring and osteoporosis were observed. Markedly low copperlevels in blood, urine and hair were also found.Ceruloplasmin in blood was also low. Zinc levelsin blood and hair were high.
Relevant literatures of 24 cases of this diseaseso far reported were reviewed. Pathophysiologywith a special reference to copper metabolismwas discussed.View full abstractDownload PDF (9294K) -
