A case is presented to demonstrate the angiographic findings in Paget's disease of the calvarium. These angiographic changes suggest that the blood supply to the calvarium is mainly through its inner aspect via the distal branches of the external carotid artery.

The importance of agenesis of a pedicle lies in its resemblance to a destructive lesion of the pedicle or to an expanding lesion in an intervertebral foramen. The correct diagnosis can be made roentgenologically by demonstrating a widened intervertebral foramen at the level of an absent pedicle with posterior displacement of the maldeveloped lateral mass. Two cases of agenesis of a pedicle in a cervical vertebra are presented.
Tapeworm cyst infestations of the brain often present as diagnostic problems. The radiological appearances in proven cases are discussed with a brief review of the life cycle and clinical presentations.
The external carotid circulation often contributes a vascular supply in intracranial disease. Adequate radiological evaluation of this circulation is important and may alter the surgical management in these patients.
Giant aneurysms within the carotico-basilar system usually differ in their symptomatology from the more common forms of intracranial aneurysms. By virtue of their size they may act as space occupying lesions and compress neighbouring structures. Diagnosis of these aneurysms as well as determination of position and size cnanot be carried out by clinical examination alone. Radiology with its special procedures is essential in confirming this diagnosis.
The radiographic appearances in 14 cases with arachnoid pouches are reviewed. Their clinical summaries, operative findings and anatomical distribution are tabulated.
The importance of adequate evaluation of the internal carotid artery is stressed since pathology within it may mimic many intracranial diseases. Some of the many appearances seen on carotid angiography are described.
An intracerebral Schwannoma giving rise to temporal lobe epilepsy is described. The possible origin of such tumours in the central nervous system in general, and in the temporal lobe in particular, is discussed.
Widening of an intervertebral foramen in the cervical spine is a striking radiogical finding and generally denotes a patient with a dumbbell spinal tumor. Other, rare causes can also produce widening, such as expansion, tortuosity or elongation of the vertebral arteries, and congenital absence of a pedicle.

Isolated schwannomas may occur in many different situations within the central nervous system. Most neurilemmomas are benign, and enucleation after longitudinal dissection of the nerve will usually affect a cure. It is for this reason that the roentgenological appearances should be appreciated and this diagnosis considered so as to attempt total surgical removal.
