Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with cerebellar ataxia at onset in the UK.
To determine the frequency, in the UK, of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (sCJD) with a cerebellar ataxic onset, and to describe the clinical features of the syndrome. ⋯ A better definition of sCJD presenting with an isolated cerebellar syndrome might improve future case recognition and contribute to the determination of its cause.

Changes in optic nerve head blood flow in children with cerebral malaria and acute papilloedema.
To investigate capillary blood flow in the optic nerve head (ONH) of children with cerebral malaria. ⋯ The increase in ONH microvascular blood volume in papilloedema measured by LDF is consistent with current theories of pathogenesis of papilloedema. LDF has potential as a tool to distinguish papilloedema from pseudopapilloedematous disc swellings. The relationship between blood velocity and haematocrit may relate to levels of sequestration in cerebral malaria.
