Cerebral aneurysm in an infant with fibromuscular hyperplasia of the renal arteries. Case report.

The authors report a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage in an 11-month-old infant with tragic outcome. Radiological investigation showed an anterior communicating aneurysm, and postmortem examination confirmed the aneurysm to be a so-called "berry" aneurysm. There were also typical signs of fibromuscular hyperplasia of the renal arteries. The microscopic findings are discussed. In view of the rarity of both aneurysms and fibromuscular hyperplasia in such a small child, a possible association of these entities suggested by several earlier investigators is reviewed.

Giant serpentine intracranial aneurysm after carotid ligation. Case report.

A case is reported of a giant aneursym of the intracavernous portion of the left internal carotid artery that was treated initially with a left common carotid artery ligation. Six months later the aneurysm was partially removed. During this time the development and evolution of thrombus formation, a serpentine channel, and a hypervascular capsule was easily followed with recreated computerized tomography and angiography of the aneurysm.

Tranexamic acid in the preoperative management of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

A randomized, controlled clinical trial was carried out to study the effect of tranexamic acid (AMCA, trans-AMCHA) in prevention of early rebleeding after proven rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. The series comprises 46 patients admitted to the hospital within three days after the first bleeding. Twenty-three were treated with tranexamic acid and 23 were controls. Nine patients in the control group and one in the group treated with tranexamic acid had confirmed rebleeding. The incidence of vasospasm, cerebral ischemia and hydrocephalus as well as mortality and morbidity is discussed.

Computed tomography and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

CT scans have been made on 39 of 41 patients who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Blood could be visualized in the cisterns of 18 of 32 examinations performed within five days of the hemorrhage all having aneurysms. Among the other 14 there were three in whom no aneurysm was found on angiography. The distribution of blood in those that showed it was useful in pointing to the position of the aneurysm. Much other information was obtained, for instance about rebleeding and infarction. CT should routinely be the primary examination, followed by selective angiography.

Absent cervical pedicle.

Congenital defect of a cervical pedicle produces a rare clinical syndrome with a characteristic X-ray picture associated with vague clinical signs often accentuated after trauma. A careful analysis of the X-ray films, including oblique views, shows the congenital defect of the pedicle and the associated abnormalities which can all be attributed to a defect in the neural arch centre of chondrification. Further X-ray examinations including myelography with or without vertebral angiography as well as surgical exploration should be unnecessary. A case of absence of the right pedicle of the sixth cervical vertebra is described. The symptoms in this patient were not caused by the malformation, but by an associated enlarged seventh cervical transverse process which produced a thoracic outlet syndrome.

Spinal cord angiomas diagnosed by gas myelography.

Three cases with spinal cord arteriovenous malformations are reported with characteristic changes evident on gas myelography. The malformations were confirmed by selective spinal angiography in all cases and surgically removed in 2 of the cases.

Rupture of intracranial aneurysm during carotid angiography.

The reports of rupture of an aneurysm during carotid angiography are very few but the actual incidence is doubtless higher than recorded. The case presented is documented with the demonstration of a large middle cerebral artery aneurysm with an intratemporal hematoma, and, in sequence, the rupture of the aneurysm during the height of the injection and the subsequent extensive leakage of the contrast medium. The factors which can lead to rupture of an aneurysm during the angiographic procedure are discussed.

Traumatic lateral sinus thrombosis. Report of two cases.

Two cases with thrombosis of the transverse sinus caused by a fracture crossing the sinus are reported, and the roentgenological changes seen in cerebral angiography are discussed. In 1 case, a filling defect was seen which at subsequent autopsy was found to correspond with an intraluminal thrombosis. In the other case, not verified at autopsy, the angiographic changes were consistent with a thrombosis of a transverse sinus.

Preliminary experiences with the EMI scanner.

Preliminary experiences of computed tomography of the head are reported in a material of 213 patients. The majority of examined lesions includes intracranial tumours and cerebrovascular lesions.

Computer tomography of the neurocranium.

The experience with computer tomography of the neurocranium in 300 patients submitted for computer tomography of the brain is reported. The more appropriate projections which may be obtained with the second generation of scanners in combination with an elaborated reconstruction technique seem to constitute a replacement of conventional skull films.

Size of the intracerebral ventricles as measured with computer tomography, encephalography and echoventriculography.

Ventricular size in a total of 192 patients was determined with computer tomography (CT), encephalography (Enc) and echoventriculography (echo-VG). There was good correlation (greater than or equal to 0.80) between the values for the size of the lateral ventricles obtained with all three methods. Correlation between values for the width of the third ventricle: CT/Enc and CT/echo-VG: poor; Enc/echo-VG: good ( = 0.85). Both at computed tomography and encephalography there was poor correlation between anterior horn index and the width of the third ventricle.
