Subarachnoid haemorrhage due to acoustic neurinoma. Case report and review of the literature.
One case of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage due to acoustic neurinoma is presented. The literature regarding this subject is reviewed and the pathogenesis of haemorrhage from neurinoma is discussed.

Solitary plasmacytoma of the calvarium: two cases treated by operation alone.
Two cases of solitary plasmacytoma of the calvarium operated on with radical removal are reported. The two patients were not submitted to postoperative radiotherapy, unlike other cases reported in the literature. The authors stress that solitary plasmacytoma of the calvarium may have a good prognosis if radically removed, and in these cases radiotherapy is not necessary.

Cavernous angiomas of the central nervous system.
The histopathological, epidemiological, clinical and neuroradiological findings of the cavernous angiomas of the central nervous system have been reviewed, based on an analysis of the literature. C.A. was considered a very rare lesion in the pre-CT era (5% of the vascular malformations). In the past mainly the cavernous angiomas operated on were responsible for a hemorrhagic syndrome or a space-occupying lesion syndrome and less frequently did they present with seizures. Since the introduction of the CT and moreover of MRI the reported cases of cavernous angiomas in the C.N.S. have increased considerably (25.1% of the vascular malformations). Familial cases, multiple localizations, association with tumors and other vascular malformations and extracerebral dural localizations have been documented. Angiographic examination can be negative, but in some cases a capillary blush in the late venous phase has been demonstrated. CT scan and MRI are the best procedures for the diagnosis of cavernous angiomas. MRI is able to demonstrate small and no recent traces of bleeding, but CT is more sensitive in distinguishing calcifications. Surgical results depending on the site of the angioma have been reported. Radical removal and good recovery have been documented in supratentorial cases, while partial removal and poor results have been reported in deeply sited cases (including spinal cord).
Acute spontaneous subdural hematomas.
Fifteen cases of spontaneous subdural hematoma are presented. A review of the literature reveals the rarity of this pathology. Symptomatological onset cannot be distinguished from the other cerebrovascular lesions. High mortality is connected with patient's consciousness level. CT scan performed in all patients presenting symptoms of cerebral stroke permitted to demonstrate this clinical entity is not so rare as the literature asserted.
