RESUMO
In Vologda Province, syringomyelia is rather prevalent (2.9 per 100,000 population). In view of the fact that the clinical symptoms are refractory to the treatment methods applied (roentgenotherapy and radioactive iodine), the combined use of apiotherapy (honey bee and flower pollen) and radon baths was attempted. It turned out to be undoubtedly effective.

Hypotension of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was detected in 18% of 856 patients with brain trauma examined in the study. Three syndromes of dissociated hypotension of the CSF were described: (1) at the level of the Magendie-Luschka openings; (2) at the level of the aqueduct of Sylvius; (3) at the level of the third ventricle. Each level of hypotension of the CSF was attended by a specific clinical syndrome. The parameters of the progressive course of the disease made it possible upon their identification to begin the rehabilitation of patients at the earliest stage which led to a faster compensation. Special attention was given to apitherapy, phytococtails and instillations of special coctails for controlling the dissociation between CSF hypotension and hydrocephaly. The conducted rehabilitation made it possible to significantly reduce the incidence of crises indicative of the decompensation of brain injury.
