Encephaloarteriosynangiosis in the treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia: preliminary report based on 30 cases.

A new surgical technique for the treatment of cerebral ischemia is reported. A scalp artery is freed and placed in contact with the cerebral cortex after craniotomy and opening of the dura mater. Thirty such operations have been performed over a period of 2 years. An analysis of the results, advantages and disadvantages, and indications for this type of surgery is given.

Brain Ischemia↗

Quadriparesis as an unusual manifestation of chronic subdural haematoma.

Chronic subdural haematomas are frequently seen in neurosurgical practice, but because of the multitude of their clinical presentations, appropriate diagnosis is often not made in the early stages. The cases reported concern a 62-year-old male and a 54-year-old woman, both presenting in an unusual manner, namely a progressive quadriparesis.

Cerebral Angiography↗

[Multifocal glioma. Apropos of 10 cases].

The authors report 10 cases of multifocal glioma of the brain. There are distinguished in multicentric tumors, when lesions develop independently in the space and time and multiples tumors when they are in connection by spreading process. They analyzed the factors that could permit to distinguish these gliomas. Multicentric tumors are histologically of low grade with gradual evolution, and from different histological nature and topography. In other hand, multiple gliomas are from malignant histology and develop simultaneously. The CT scan and biopsy in stereotaxic condition could permit to recognize these two parts which the prognosis is different.

[Acutely developing glioma and negative CT scan. Apropos of 3 cases].

Three adults presented convulsive fits for the first time in their lives, and examination with a CT scan showed no anomalies. Repetition of the CT scans a few weeks later revealed the presence of evolving lesions. Based on these 3 cases and 11 previously published cases, the problem of "normal" CT scans and rapidly developing glioblastomas is discussed.

Indications for halo immobilization of the cervical spine.

In the United States, cervical spine injuries are routinely immobilized with the halo apparatus. In Europe, this device is seldom used except in the treatment of spinal deviations. Based on studies of five cases the authors discuss the indications for use of the halo device in cervical spine injuries.
