ABSTRACT
Membranous glomerulonephritis and the nephrotic syndrome concurrent with the Miller-Fisher variant of the Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome (LGBS), acute post-infective polyneuritis, is reported in a 49-year-old man. The onset of heavy proteinuria coincided with the development of the neurological disturbance. While immunosuppressive therapy appeared to hasten improvemente in the neurological disease, no such improvemente occurred in the glomerulopathy

The clinical features and pathology of four cases of torsion of the spermatic cord treatedm ar Holberton Hospital between December 1987 and January 1988 were reviewed. The lack of prompt clinical diagnosis delayed therapy in all cases, resulting in orchidectomy. The findings re-emphazise the need for early diagosis and surgical exploration of equivocal cases of acute unilateral scrotal pain if salvage rates are to be improved
