[Justification of bitemporal decompressive trepanation with duroplasty in severe closed craniocerebral injury].

In serious craniocerebral traumata in which the cerebral oedema cannot be controlled by conservative methods, the authors again recommend the performance of a bitemporal relieving trepanation reaching far in basal direction (adults 5 cm ø, children 4 cm ø). In case of closed traumata, the operation is started on the more affected side, in case of open injuries trepanation is first carried out on the other side. Detailed indications about the accompanying oedema treatment. The wide opened dura is covered with the temporalis fascia or with a free transplant.

[Incidence and diagnosis of lumbosacral pouch diverticula].

The myelograms of ninety-nine patients with an ischias symptomatology were analyzed. In fifteen of the subjects there were found lumbosacral radicular pouch diverticula which, after elimination of other nosogenic factors, were considered chiefly responsible for the clinical and neurological pictures observed in six cases. The pathological and anatomical, clinical and radiographic results described by the authors represent a disease picture which is little known and, hence, not generally included in the differential diagnosis of ischialgia, but which has been found to yield to neurosurgical treatment in selected cases.

[The value of possible skull-cap replacement surgery].

After describing the valence of the various possible plastic procedures for covering defects of the skull cap, the results obtained by the authors are presented. In childhood, autografting from the inner layer of the wing of the ilium or from the ribs is given preference. In adults, the authors carry out alloplasty with hot-polymerizing methacrylate in order to prevent a second surgical intervention for obtaining autogenous material. If surgery has to be carried out in the vicinity of the paranasal sinuses, autogenous cartilaginous cubes must be inserted between the sinuses and the alloplasty because direct contact of the alloplastic material with the sinuses exposed to infection hazards must be avoided.
