5 patients with ichthyosis had a neurological accompaniment: epilepsy in 4, congenital palpebral ptosis, facial pain and neurosis in 1. In one patient epilepsy was combined with multiple malformations (normal dwarfism, prematurely old face, skeletal abnormalities) and oligophrenia. There was considerable variability genetically: 2 sporadic cases, 1 with X-linked transmission, 1 with autosomal dominant and 1 with apparent autosomal recessive heredity. In one case the co-existence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency provided proof of X-linked transmission. Further study of larger case-series is needed for a better definition of the nosographic and genetic aspects of non blastomatous neuroectodermatoses in which ichthyosis figures.

One hundred and eighty-two patients (100 females, 82 males) with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) confirmed by echocardiography are described. Their ages range from 12 to 87 years (mean 48 years). The symptoms of breathlessness, pain in the chest and palpitations were analysed. They were associated with left ventricular failure, co-existing ischaemic heart disease and arrhythmias in some, but in a proportion the symptoms were thought to be due to psychoneurosis. Seventy-two patients (40 per cent) were referred because of complications of MVP. In 67 patients (37 per cent) the condition was discovered by chance and in 43 patients (24 per cent) neurotic symptoms had led to referral to hospital. A systolic click was heard in 117 patients (54 per cent); 41 patients (23 per cent) had a late systolic murmur and 30 patients (16 per cent) had a pansystolic murmur. The incidence of murmurs rose with increasing age, and pansystolic murmurs were more frequent in males. Thirty-two patients (18 per cent) had neither a click nor a murmur. Twenty-four patients (13 per cent) had associated supraventricular tachycardia and 22 (12 per cent) atrial fibrillation. Twelve patients (7 per cent) had severe mitral incompetence and eight (4 per cent) developed bacterial endocarditis. Only three patients had symptoms suggesting cerebral ischaemia. Twelve patients (7 per cent) had associated aortic incompetence. Twenty-two patients had had an inguinal hernia, the incidence in males over 50 being 26 per cent. Twenty-six patients (14 per cent) had non-specific T wave changes in the electrocardiogram. Echocardiography showed that 112 patients (62 per cent) had mid-systolic buckling of the posterior leaflet and 70 patients (38 per cent) had holosystolic prolapse. In view of the high incidence of complications it is felt that the long-term prognosis not as good as has been generally believed.

To study a role of psychogenic and somatogenic factors in the development of organic neuroses, 302 patients were examined: 199 with cardioneurosis and 103 with irritable-bowel syndrome (IBS) with mental and subclinical somatic pathology or without it. Two types of organic neuroses were distinguished: a conversive one--somatized hysteria (psychogenically determined subsyndromal hysterohypochondriac phobic or affective reactions with clear difference of algesic and autonomic disorders from symptoms of the somatic pathology, with polymorphism of the involved organic systems); and autonomic neurosis that is a central link in the structure of psychosomatic correlations, which, on the one hand, was overdone by clinical manifestations of the somatic pathology (mitral prolapse--35%, ventricular extrasystoles--12%, etc. in cardioneurosis, lymphoid hyperplasia of colonic mucosa--100%, dysbiopsis--10%, etc. in IBS); on the other hand, autonomic neurosis is a somatopsychic component of psychopathologic disorders of anxious-phobic, affective and hypochondriac sphere (panic disorder--59%, generalized anxiety--15%, anxious depression--18% in cardioneurosis, melancholic or hypochondriac cyclothymic depressions--76%, hypochondriac development--24% in IBS). Psychosomatic correlations were considered in autonomic neurosis in the context of some continuum, where somatic disorders amplified by functional disorders are on the one pole and true mental pathology including somatoautonomic disorders--on the other pole. Recommendations have been formulated on therapy of organic neuroses with anxiolytics, antidepressants and atypical neuroleptics in combination with somatotropic drugs.

Stapled mucosectomy (SM) was first proposed for the management of patients with rectal internal mucosal prolapse and obstructed defecation, but gained popularity worldwide for the treatment of hemorrhoids. The present review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the operation. SM tends to decrease postoperative pain and shortens convalescence after hemorrhoid surgery, but may be followed by severe complications, e.g. rectal obliteration and pelvic sepsis requiring a diverting stoma, more frequently than after standard hemorrhoidectomy. Moreover it carries a higher recurrence rate in the treatment of fourth-degree piles. A recent Cochrane metaanalysis demonstrated that SM is less effective than standard hemorrhoidectomy since it carries a higher recurrence rate (OR=3.6) and reintervention rate (OR=2.3). When used for rectal mucosal prolapse and obstructed defecation, SM is reported to have variable results. A better outcome is likely to be achieved in patients without anismus and psychoneurosis operated on by specialists trained with this technique.
