[Regressive multiple paralysis of the cranial nerves and lymphocytic meningitis. 8 cases]

Eight cases of spontaneously regressive cranial nerve paralysis related to the meningo-radiculitis reported by F. Rohmer et al. in 1974 are described. The epidemiological, clinical features, and the CSF changes which should allow early diagnosis are detailed, but this can only be confirmed by the spontaneous regression of the condition. The problems in determining the etiology are emphasised.
