Long term sequelae of hemispheric abscesses as a function of the treatment.

The authors compared the clinical, electroencephalographic and CT evolution of 31 cases of brain hemispheric abscesses. The vital prognosis was largely improved by the introduction of the CT scan, as compared with previous series. The functional evolution was better in the group of patients receiving high dosage (15 cases) antibiotics and/or puncture (4 cases) in the case of a large lesion, than in patients whose abscesses were removed (12 cases). The CT scan confirmed this difference, with frequent atrophy after excision.

Spinal intradural arachnoid cysts.

Based on the study of 8 cases of spinal intradural arachnoid cysts, the authors underline that the diagnosis is sometimes difficult because of the limitations of the paraclinical examination. They discuss aetiopathological problems.

Cervical neurological complications of rheumatoid arthritis. Surgical treatment techniques and indications.

A critical study of 11 cases with neurological complications resulting from damage to the cervical spine during rheumatoid arthritis prompts the authors to reconsider their therapeutic strategy. After recalling the various neurological complications and their mechanisms, they propose an extension of the range of indications for surgical treatment. The limits of this extension are defined according to neurological and radiological criteria and the risks inherent in each method.

Prognosis for arteriovenous malformations of the brain in adults based on 150 cases.

Arteriovenous malformations of the brain generally make their presence felt before the age of 40 through cerebromeningeal hemorrhage (83 cases) or epilepsy (47 cases). In our series, 128 patients were operated upon and total resection of the malformation was performed on 119 occasions. The operative mortality rate was 12.5% and there were 70.3% good results from a long-term point of view. The essential benefit from surgical treatment is the elimination of the risk of hemorrhage. The effect on epilepsy is much less, and the natural development of nonhemorrhagic forms is not unfavorable over the long term. The prognosis for surgical treatment is linked to the size and the topography of the malformation, the number and the origin of the arterial afferent vessels, and, above all, to the mode of drainage into the venous system that may be malformed.

Posterolateral approach to thoracic disk herniations through transversoarthropediculectomy.

The authors describe an approach by transversoarthropediculectomy in three cases of herniation of thoracic disks. The technique permits the initial approach to locate the vasculoneural elements and leaves these intact. We underline certain rules: osteotomy of the vertebral bodies located above and below, possible laminectomy after excision of the herniated disk fragment, and posterior osteosynthesis.

Management of cavernous sinus meningiomas.

The management of intracavernous meningiomas remains controversial. The variety of methods of treatment reflects the difficulty of treating primary meningiomas of the cavernous sinus. Twelve personal cases and a review of the literature permit a choice between a direct surgical approach with or without radiotherapy, only radiation therapy or with no therapy. We think therefore that meningiomas of the cavernous sinus should nowadays be the subject of a surgical biopsy followed by radiotherapy according to their grading.

Melanotic meningioma. Report of a case and review of the literature.

Melanotic tumours of the central nervous system constitute a group of expanding lesions whose prognosis is variable, depending upon their histopathological nature. The report of this case of melanotic meningioma finds its interest in the exceptional nature of this type of tumour and in the difficulty of ascertaining whether it is benign or malignant.

Developments in the treatment and prognosis of multiple cerebral abscesses.

Multiple cerebral abscesses have been recognized with increasing frequency because of the use of computed tomography and have been the subject of various therapeutic proposals. Their prognosis has been considerably improved thanks to high dose antibiotic therapy. However, diagnostic and therapeutic problems persist.

Anterointernal approach to the lumbar spine: technical note.

Lumbar surgery is currently benefiting from the development of anterior approaches to the spine and the possibilities of anterior arthrodesis. The transperitoneal approach is being replaced more often by an extraperitoneal approach that enables anterior access to the spine. The authors report an anterointernal approach to the lumbar spine.

"Pseudotumoral" cystic cerebellar infarction with slow evolution.

A 63-year-old female patient presented with cerebellovestibular symptoms and posterior headaches. The onset of the symptoms was sudden, and the neurological condition slowly worsened over a 5-month period. It was found that she suffered from a cystic infarction of the cerebellar lobe, with subsequent hydrocephalus. This case and two others discovered in the literature argue for the recognition of a slowly evolving, cystic form of cerebellar infarction that calls for a direct surgical approach.
