To evaluate the role of serum lipids in the patients with cerebral thrombosis, lipid parameters were compared with a sex- and age - matched healthy control. The cerebral thrombosis group included 61 males (mean age, 61.0) and 32 females (mean age, 66.3). Total cholesterol and total/HDL-cholesterol ratio in the male and female patients were significantly higher than in the control(p<0.001). But triglyceride showed difference only in the male patient group (p<0.05). All parameters did not show any difference between the lacunar and cortical infarctions. The finding in this study support the idea that high serum total cholesterol, low serum HDL-cholesterol and high total / HDL-cholesterol ratio are risk factors for cerebral thrombosis.

A case of diabetic proximal motor neuropathy presented with left brachial paralysis is reported. In a 52-year-old male patient, the initial manifestation was the weakness of the predominantly proximal part of left upper limb, which progressed to the lower limb of the same side. There complications gave the opportunity to recognize and treat diabetes mellitus more promptly. The weakness recovered after one month with diabetic control but recurred mainly in the same lower limb and eventually achieved good functional result three months after.
