Folate deficiency and neurological disorders in adults.
Botez MI.
The restless legs syndrome could represent a folate responsive disorder in both patients with acquired-folate deficiency and those with familial symptomatology. Patients with acquired folate-deficiency could be divided into two subgroups. (i) those with minor neurological signs (restless legs syndrome, vibration sense impairment and tactile hypoesthesia in both legs with diminished ankle jerks and a prolonged or assymetrical Achilles-reflex time) and (ii) those with major neurological signs (subacute combined degeneration with or without neuropathies). In some of these patients the classical triad of the malabsorption syndrome is replaced by another triad, constipation, abnormal jejunal biopsy and abnormal d-xylose absorption. A low folic serum acid level could induce minor neuropsychiatric symptoms while an additional low CSF folate could induce major neurological symptoms in spite of the presence of a normal erythrocyte folate level and in the absence of frank anemia. Possible further studies are described.

[Intraluminal diverticulum of the duodenum. Report of a case and review of published cases]
[Article in Spanish]
Diez-Canseco Gambetta J.
The intraluminal diverticulum of the duodenum is very rare; it is an anatomical sac like formation, located in the interior of the duodenum and communicating with it through an orifice situated a the upper pole of the diverticulum where the wall is covered by mucosa on both faces. It has interesting etiopathogenic problems. We present an observation after reviewing the corresponding literature. It was a 32-year old woman suffering from moderate epigastric pains, pyrosis, chronic constipation, markedly nervous. The epigastric pain was unrelated to food or physical efforts. The physical examination showed slight epigastric pain. The gastroduodenal radiological examination showed in the second part of the duodenum a particular image, pear-shaped, homogeneous, impregnated in barium; this image was surrounded by a radiotransparent halo which changed with the patient's position. It has been seen that the diverticulum changes in size and position in agreement with the peristaltism, without ever obstructing the passage through the duodenum. A review is made of the literature and history of intraluminal diverticulum.

Alimentary-tract ganglioneuromatosis. A major component of the syndrome of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2b.
Carney JA, Go VL, Sizemore GW, Hayles AB.
Although the syndrome of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2b, is known to comprise mucosal ganglioneuromatosis, medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma and skeletal anomalies, we wish to document the importance of the alimentary-tract components. In nine patients with this syndrome, we found diffuse ganglioneurmatosis extending from the lips to the rectum. Alimentary symptoms, constipation or diarrhea or both were present in six of these patients. Similar symptoms were present in six of seven other affected patients from whom alimentary-tract tissue was not obtained. Five of the 16 patients had megacolon, which led to operation in four, and a sixth patient had colectomy for diverticulitis complicating diffuse diverticulosis. The alimentary manifestations warrant greater emphasis, not only because they were prominent in the patients whom we studied but also because in 14, these manifestations were present before the endocrine neoplasms were detected.
