The authors report a series of 71 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage: 57 underwent surgery and 14, although suitable candidates for surgery, refused operation. The results are assessed in relation to the site of the hemorrhage, mode of onset, and interval between accident and operation.

The authors analyse the incidence, extent and prognostic significance of lymphocytic infiltration in 80 cases of operated cerebral gliomas (61 high- and 19 low-grade gliomas). The results obtained are discussed in relation to the data previously reported by the literature.
A case of metastasizing breast carcinoma to an intracranial meningioma is presented. The pathogenesis and principles of diagnosis of this rare occurrence are discussed in light of the data reported from the literature.
The Authors present a case of Toxocara canis arachnoidea located in the cervical zone. The rarity of the case and the extreme rarity of the position are emphasized. In fact in medical literature there exists a description of only one similar case which was also observed by one of the authors.
The Authors report analyses on 83 cases of brain haemorrhage which were conducted over a period of 6 years. On the basis of previous studies made by the same authors, a selection was made from patients whose survival index rating did not exceed 8.1. These patients were treated only with medical and reviving therapies. In this work we attempt to formulate some considerations regarding the prognosis of brain haemorrhage on the basis of clinical and tomodensitometric data.
Data concerning a study on lymphoid infiltration in 61 cerebral malignant gliomas are reported. Lymphoid cellular infiltrates were found in 28 cases (45.9%): 8 (13.1%) with marked and 20 (32.8%) with slight infiltration; the remaining 33 cases (54.1%) did not exhibit lymphoid infiltration. The mean survival time (+/- standard deviation) of patients harboring gliomas with marked lymphoid infiltration was 20.5 (+/-19.9) months, and that of patients with slight lymphoid infiltration in their glioma was 10.3 (+/- 7.5) months; those patients having gliomas without lymphoid cellular infiltrates showed a mean survival time (+/- standard deviation) of 7.2 (+/-6.1) months.
The Authors report a rare case of traumatic aneurysm of the internal carotid artery observed in a 19-year-old man after a car accident. The aneurysm was recognized by cerebral angiography performed immediately after trauma and clipped to avoid delayed rupture. The literature on traumatic aneurysms is reviewed.
The Authors, on the base of Vackeneim's pathogenetic hypothesis about a case of post-traumatic bone bridges of the spine, describe three cases observed and examine the etiopathogenesis of this extremely rare pathology.
