Sensitivity To Pain

In an earlier study (Stengel et al., 1955), reactions of various types of mental patients to eleven different painful and noxious stimuli were described. Two groups of 54 females and 43 male low-grade defectives were included in the original investigation, but it was felt at that time that the results needed further amplification before they could be usefully commented upon. In this earlier investigation only one of us actually carried out the tests, the reliability of which, therefore, was not clearly established. Furthermore, in the original testing of low-grade defectives no assessment of “Overt Reactivity” was made. As the relationship between this factor and pain reactivity in the other patient groups constituted an important finding of the study, we came to the conclusion that it would be necessary to retest some of the low-grade defective patients with these points in mind. This seemed all the more desirable as it is widely assumed that mental defectives in general, and especially low-grade mental defectives, are grossly deficient in sensitivity to pain.

The earliest case of cutis verticis gyrata reported in the literature appears to have been that of Robert (1) in 1843. The following instances were observed by Auvert (2) in 1854 and subsequent cases were noted by Poggi (3) in 1884 and Lombroso (4) in 1890. In 1893, McDowall (5) and Cowan (6) recorded the first occurrence of this abnormal scalp development in association with a microcephalic mental defective, and since that case report several other authors such as Möller (7) in 1903 and Judassohn (8) in 1906, described similar instances. In 1907, Unna (9) presented three cases and coined the name cutis verticis gyrata. It is also known under additional terms such as “corrugated skin”, “bulldog scalp” and “pachydermie occipitale vorticillée”.

Abstract Background To analyze the clinical features of brain tumor-related epilepsy (BTRE) and explore the factors influencing the identification of epilepsy-associated tumor (EAT), in order to advance the clinical understanding of BTRE and EAT. Methods Intracranial tumor origin and location as well as the type of epilepsy were retrospectively reviewed in 153 BTRE patients. The patients were further divided into the EAT and non-EAT groups, and comparisons were made for age, sex, tumor origin and location, and epilepsy type between the two groups. Results The 153 BTRE patients were divided into 78 cases with primary intracranial tumor and 75 cases with tumor originating from extracranial metastasis, according to the origin of tumor. According to the location of tumor, 116 cases had tumor lesions located in the brain parenchyma, and 37 cases had tumor lesions located in the meninges. Further, in the group with a brain parenchyma location, 77 cases had single lobular involvement, and 39 cases had multiple-lobular involvement; 84 cases had tumor lesions located in one hemisphere and 32 cases in both hemispheres. According to the type of epilepsy, 92 cases had generalized seizures, and 61 cases had focal seizures. The type of epilepsy did not significantly correlate with the origin of intracranial tumor, the location of tumor lesions (in brain parenchyma or meninges) (P > 0.05), or the hemispherical location (in one or two hemispheres) of lesions (P > 0.05), but was significantly related with the lobular localization of lesions (P < 0.05). The 153 cases of BTRE consisted of 87 EAT and 66 non-EAT, with significant differences in the origin, location and type (being glioma/non-glioma) of tumor. Logistic regression analysis showed that the type of tumor (i.e. whether being glioma) served as an independent factor for EAT identification; the lower the World Health Organization grade of glioma, the more likely the EAT is to be diagnosed (P < 0.05). Conclusion The majority of BTRE patients in this study had tumors located in the brain parenchyma. In addition, the patients with generalized seizures outnumbered those with focal seizures, and the type of epilepsy was correlated with the lobular location of tumor lesions. The EATs are mostly low-grade gliomas.
