[Neoplastic encephalopathy in the light of 2 observed cases]. / Uwagi na temat encefalopatii nowotworowej na marginesie obserwacji dwóch przypadków.

The authors report two cases of neoplastic encephalopathy. In one patient with oviduct carcinoma it had the form of cerebellopathy. In the other case of renal carcinoma it appeared as encephalopathy with a nearly exclusive involvement of cerebral hemispheres. The reaction of microglia, lymphocytes and diffuse demyelination found in these cases are regarded by the authors as a result of autoimmunization in the course of malignant neoplasm. Attention is called to the importance of axial computer tomography in the intravital diagnosis of this encephalopathy.

[Case of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma with subsequent development of post-hemorrhagic cyst]. / Przypadek samoistnego krwiaka sródmózgowego z wytworzeniem duzej torbieli pokrwotocznej.

The authors describe a case of spontaneous intracerebral haematoma treated conservatively. After three months a large posthaemorrhagic cyst of the brain was found in the sensorimotor area. The authors suppose that in case of surgical treatment the course of the disease and its sequelae would have been much milder. The interest shown by neurologists in the problem of spontaneous intracerebral haematoma seems to be too low and the possibility of surgical treatment is not mentioned in the neurological literature.
