The so-called ectopic pinealomas. A cooperative study of 15 cases.

We present the results of a cooperative study of 15 cases of suprasellar dysgerminomas (ectopic pinealomas) and a review of cases of the literature with histological confirmation. In all the cases, histological similarities to the germinomas which appear extracerebrally, particularly testicular seminomas, were observed. We were unable to find in the sellar region tumors of true pineal histology and tend therefore to confirm the germinal origin of these neoplasms. From a clinical point of view, we define a syndrome that these tumors produce, consisting of diabetes insipidus as the first sign, visual impairment and endocrine disturbances, with few or no radiological signs in plain studies.

Pyocephalus of the newborn child.

3 cases of pyocephalus (ventricular empyema) in newborn children are described and 16 cases from the literature are analyzed. Half of the previously published cases of pyocephalus are secondary to cerebral abscesses. Neuroradiological findings and especially the necroscopic study of a case demonstrated the existence of membranous blockages inside the ventricles which may make the circulation of CSF impossible. Our treatment of choice consists of repeated punctures and evacuations of purulent content and topic as well as parenteral administration of antibiotics. Further CSF derivative measures are almost always necessary. By these means, we believe the high mortality of these cases could be lowered.
