The authors have studied the bases of the clinical and CT diagnosis of cerebral arterial occlusion in children from a series of 16 cases. The sequential evolution of the CT appearance seems characteristic depending on the time elapsed since the onset. Contrast enhancement, concerns mainly the grey matter, is maximum during the second and third weeks and should be looked for during this period. The aetiology remains usually hypothetic. Some data, including the angiographic aspect of "endarteritis" may suggest an infectious pathogeny.
The lumbosacral nerve roots and their relation to the lateral recess in the lumbar region were studied by computed tomography both in anatomic specimens from six cadavers and in vivo in 100 patients with or without disk herniation. The anatomic and tomodensitometric correlations are discussed. The normal morphology and contents of the lumbar spinal canal can be used as a guide to radiologic diagnostic exploration, which in turn can indicate the etiology and extent of lumbar sciatica and the course of treatment.
