Total removal of acoustic neurinomas.

The authors analyze the results of total removal of acoustic neurinomas in 120 patients operated on between January, 1967, and January, 1976. The facial nerve was preserved after surgery in 65 patients (54.2%). The use of microsurgical techniques in the last 3 years of study permitted preservation of the seventh nerve in 26 of 35 operated patients (74.3%). Of 103 patients examined postoperatively, 96 retained their full or partial capacity for work (93.2%). Ten patients (8.3%) died after surgery. In the last 3 years, 35 patients were operated on without a single death.

[Pressure in intracranial saccular aneurysms in the presence of hypotension].

The pressure in saccular aneurysms of various localizations was studied in 6 patients during neurosurgical operations. The systolic, diastolic, mean, and pulse pressure in aneurysms with a wide neck corresponded to systemic pressure; in aneurysms with a narrow neck (3 patients) they were lower. In occlusion of the carotid artery on the neck, the pressure in the anurysms decreased. Pulsations disappeared in 3 patients. Fourteen patients with aneurysm of the internal carotid artery were followed-up for 2--17 years, after ligation of the carotid artery on the neck. There were no recurrent hemorrhages. Despite the clinical effect, however, due to possible complications this operation has limited indications (subclinoid aneurysms, refusal of patients to undergo intracranial operations).

Microsurgical technique in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

A consecutive series of 137 patients with cerebral aneurysms operated on with microsurgical techniques is presented. Occlusion of the aneurysm was performed in 133 patients. Good results were obtained in 85.5% of the entire series and in 92.6% of the patients who were in satisfactory condition preoperatively. The overall mortality rate was 5.8%, and 3.7% for the patients in satisfactory condition. The preoperative and operative factors that influenced the results are discussed.

[Total removal of acoustic neurinoma].

The analysis is based on the results of a total removal of acoustic neurinomas in 120 patients operated on in 1967-1975. The facial nerve was preserved after surgery in 65 patients (54.2%). In the course of the recent 3 years the employment of microsurgical techniques permitted to preserve the VII nerve in 26 among 35 operated patients (74.3%). Among 103 examined postoperatively 96 retained their full or partial capacity for work (93.2%). Ten patients (8.3%) died after surgery. Within the recent 3 years 35 patients were operated on without a single mortality case.
