Weber syndrome caused by intracerebral hemorrhage in a hemophiliac boy.

A rare occurrence of the Weber syndrome in childhood is reported. The patient was a 7-year-old hemophiliac with recurrent intracerebral bleeding into the right cerebral peduncle and pontine base. Left hemiparesis involving the face and tongue developed and was later accompanied by right oculomotor nerve palsy.

The usefulness of 3D-CT angiography for the diagnosis of spontaneous vertebral artery dissection-report of two cases.

Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) has been recognized as being more common than was first thought, with the growing use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, simple MRI alone is not always satisfactory for making an accurate diagnosis. We experienced two cases of VAD in our clinic, in which three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (3D-CTA) was performed. Our scanner has the capability of examining a slice of 1mm thick, 0.5mm reconstruction pitch, and a scan time of 1s/rotation. 3D-CTA clearly demonstrated the stenotic change concomitant with the surrounding thrombus and was thought to be useful for making an accurate diagnosis.

The use of three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography in the accurate diagnosis of internal carotid artery aneurysms: degree for expression of posterior communicating and anterior choroidal arteries.

We have improved the scan protocol of three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (3D-CTA) to maximize the accuracy of examining unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Sixty-seven cases of suspected internal carotid-posterior communicating (Pcom) and internal carotid-anterior choroidal (Ant Cho) artery aneurysms were evaluated as to the opacification of arteries. In the 46 cases of suspected fetal-type Pcom and Ant Cho aneurysms, the arteries were opacified from its origin to the periphery in all cases. A final diagnosis of the presence of an aneurysm was made possible by complete opacification. A definite diagnosis was impossible to make in only ten cases having adult-type Pcom. In conclusion, 3D-CTA, using our own scan protocol, was proven to be quite useful for making a more accurate diagnosis.
