[Neuro-sedation and cranial C.-T. scan in infants and children (author's transl)].

Sixty-four infants and children under 14 years of age had a neuro-sedation, for a cranial C.-T. Scan. This entirely painless procedure requires complete immobility of the patient. We used two sorts of methods: for infants under eight months of age, a premedication followed by a feeding-bottle is sufficient. For children over eight months of age, intravenous administration of gamma-hydroxy-butyrate at 30 to 50 mg/kg induces light but sufficient sleep in obtaining a useful scan. Within the group of 24 infants we obtained 14 good results, 8 mild ones and 2 failures. Within the 40 children over eight months of age, 28 procedures were good, 10 children had to undergo more anesthesia during the examination and twice the exploration was impossible.

[Antenatal cerebral artery occlusions (4 new cases)].

Cerebral arterial occlusion, occurring during monozygotic twin pregnancies, is a well known entity, specially when one twin is stillborn or macerated. Most of the authors consider that the aetiology is either embolization from the dead fetus or intravascular coagulation causing embolization in the surviving co-twin via placental vascular connections. Some data suggest an infectious endarteritis on the basis of angiographic and histological findings. Clinical features may appear several weeks after birth. CT scan and pathological findings depend on the date of the arterial occlusion. Four recent cases are described, two of them concerning monozygotic twin pregnancies. Pathological, CI scan, clinical features and pathogenesis are discussed taking account of the others data in the literature.
