Intraventricular blood without parenchymal clot following spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage.

The position of an intracerebral haematoma shown on computerised tomography (CT) of patients who have suffered a recent spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage is a powerful indicator of the source of the bleed. In the absence of such a parenchymal clot, does the distribution of intraventricular blood have similar predictive value? The scans of 22 patients showing intraventricular blood without parenchymal clot were compared with subsequent angiographic appearances. The distribution of intraventricular blood does not appear to correlate with either the clinical status of the patient, or the nature, site or size of the bleeding lesion.

Ventriculovesical shunt. Technical note.

A patient is reported whose hydrocephalus was controlled by diverting the ventricular cerebrospinal fluid directly into the urinary bladder. This drainage route may have a useful place in the management of the adult pressure-sensitive patient whose more conventional shunt requires frequent revision for repeated obstruction.

Bilateral carotid-cavernous fistulae: a review.

The clinical course of a patient with bilateral carotid-cavernous fistulae is described. The aetiology and pathophysiology of bilateral fistulae are considered. A review of the literature on this rare lesion is followed by an appraisal of the problems confronting successful surgical management.

Spinal subarchnoid metastatic spread from non-neuraxial primary neoplasms. Case report.

A rare case of metastasis to the spinal subarachnoid space from a non-neuraxial primary tumor is presented. Dissemination was shown by computerized tomography to be via the cerebrospinal fluid from secondary deposits in the central nervous system and meninges. This route would seem to be the most common mode of spread to the spinal subarachnoid space.
