Neurotoxicity is an important side effect of lithium therapy. It has been described both in lithium mono-therapy with normal serum levels or with toxic levels, and in combined treatment with other therapeutics, particularly with antipsychotics or antidepressants. This paper reports three different cases of patients with affective disorders who developed severe encephalopathy under combined lithium treatment. In case 1, neurotoxicity occurred under a combination of lithium and risperidone. Case 2 reports a patient who developed neurotoxic symptoms under lithium, trazodone and bupropion. Finally in case 3, neurotoxicity developed under the combination of lithium and tranylcypromine. Neurological examination, psychopathological state and the results of EEG and serum analysis are presented. Besides the clinical state, EEG was shown to be the most important investigational method for both the acute phase and the follow-up. Neurotoxicity caused by different combination therapies with lithium and antipsychotics or antidepressants probably results from different interaction mechanisms which are discussed in the paper. A malignant neuroleptic syndrome MNS should be considered as possible differential diagnosis in treatment with lithium and neuroleptics. Somatic co-morbidities and co-medication as well as the patient’s age might influence the possibility of the occurrence of neurotoxicity during lithium therapy. Therapeutic alternatives such as mono-therapy with antidepressants or antipsychotics should be considered. Full article

Indicators for outcome of ambulatory alcohol rehabilitation Background: Predictors for successful inpatient alcohol rehabilitation have been studied in the last few years mainly in the German-speaking geographical area. The objective of this study was to identify indicators for the outcome of ambulatory alcohol rehabilitation. Method: The study included a sample of patients (N = 1065) treated between 2004 and 2007 at the Forel Hospital, an institution specialised in the treatment of alcohol dependence. The differences between three groups of patients were studied: patients who abandoned the treatment prematurely, and patients who terminated the treatment with and without improvement. Results: Multinomial regression analyses showed that the group of premature abandoners differed with respect to age, level of education and employment status. Furthermore, the group terminating with improvement were more likely to be employed and less likely to have been diagnosed with a personality disorder. Discussion: While the sample population in this study did not require 24-hour care due to the relatively low psychiatric and somatic comorbidity level, its degree of alcoholism nevertheless required ambulatory care. In spite of the sample specificity, a number of predictors for unsuccessful treatment could be identified. It was possible to identify indicators for a positive treatment outcome. The course of treatment is influenced by social rather than psychiatric factors. The treatment outcome is, however, influenced by comorbid personality disorders. Full article

Verticality perception in patients with lesions along the graviceptive pathways

Bilateral central vestibular pathways (CVP) send signals from the vestibular nuclei to the cerebellar, brainstem, and cortical areas that are involved in processing graviceptive signals. Whereas the estimated direction of gravity is accurate when upright, systematic angle-dependent errors can occur when roll-tilted: over-estimations at small and very large roll angles (E-effect) and roll under-estimation at medium-sized roll angles (A-effect). Acute lesions along the CVP frequently lead to deviations of the subjective visual vertical (SVV). Whereas SVV errors in upright positions have been well characterised, changes in the A- and E-effect and in SVV precision due to lesions along the CVP have not been studied in roll-tilted positions. We report on a series of patients with CVP lesions and compare SVV measurements in different roll orientations (0°, ±45°, ±90°) in the sub-acute state (4–33d) with follow-up ~4 months later. In an upright position, 5/6 patients showed SVV deviations in the sub-acute state; in 3 patients deviations were ipsilesional. When rolltilted, 4/6 patients showed increased SVV errors. In all patients, the pattern of SVV errors could be explained by combining an SVV offset in an upright position with body-position-dependent errors when roll-tilted, being larger on the ipsilesional side and smaller on the contralesional side or vice versa. SVV precision was decreased in 4 patients. After 4 months, verticality perception was either improved (n = 1) or within normal range (n = 2) in terms of accuracy and precision in 3/4 patients. These results show that lesions along the CVP result in altered estimates of the direction of gravity in the entire roll plane, which can improve within a few months due to central compensation. At the time, accuracy had normalised in upright positions, estimated direction of gravity when roll-tilted could still be erroneous. Assessing the SVV in roll-tilted positions may reveal more subtle deficiencies and may hence support continuation of balance physiotherapy. Full article

Possible new avenues in epilepsy treatment: the stimulation techniques

Stimulation techniques have been extensively explored as new treatments for epilepsy, and their efficacy is still being investigated, albeit several approaches appear to be very promising. Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has been a well established palliative therapy for almost 20 years, however, complete seizure control is rarely obtained. Its favourable effect on mood has been noted in several studies, and VNS was FDA-approved for the treatment of major depression in 2005. Intracerebral electrical stimulation is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy in whom surgery cannot be offered. We summarise the results of various studies applying deep brain stimulation (DBS) to different brain structures, particularly to the mesial temporal lobe. From these studies, it appears that the efficiency of DBS to reduce epileptic seizures is demonstrated in a sufficiently large patient population but the exact determinants (physical parameters, syndromes) of its success (or its absence) remain unknown. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) has been investigated as an antiepileptic treatment in patients with focal seizure onset by several groups, however, the clinical success is variable and in most studies rather low.
