ABSTRACT
The authors emphasize the relative frequency of neurological symptoms in lymphatic leukaemia. Clinically, these cause more or less diffuse encephalitic or multineuritic syndromes, generally a combination of the two. Their pathogenesis is usually connected with lymphoid tissue infiltration into either the meninges or the vascular sheaths of the central nervous system or the sheaths of the roots or of the peripheral nerves. The authors stress the possible function of immunoglobulin abnormalities of the C.S.F. indicative of the presence of the leukaemic process within the nervous system. This pathogenesis prompts the use of therapeutic methods directly attacking leukaemic infiltration of the nervous system (focal cobalt therapy, intrathecal chemotherapy) and the authors have found that these give favourable results.
