Posterolateral approach to thoracic disk herniations through transversoarthropediculectomy.

The authors describe an approach by transversoarthropediculectomy in three cases of herniation of thoracic disks. The technique permits the initial approach to locate the vasculoneural elements and leaves these intact. We underline certain rules: osteotomy of the vertebral bodies located above and below, possible laminectomy after excision of the herniated disk fragment, and posterior osteosynthesis.

Management of cavernous sinus meningiomas.

The management of intracavernous meningiomas remains controversial. The variety of methods of treatment reflects the difficulty of treating primary meningiomas of the cavernous sinus. Twelve personal cases and a review of the literature permit a choice between a direct surgical approach with or without radiotherapy, only radiation therapy or with no therapy. We think therefore that meningiomas of the cavernous sinus should nowadays be the subject of a surgical biopsy followed by radiotherapy according to their grading.

Melanotic meningioma. Report of a case and review of the literature.

Melanotic tumours of the central nervous system constitute a group of expanding lesions whose prognosis is variable, depending upon their histopathological nature. The report of this case of melanotic meningioma finds its interest in the exceptional nature of this type of tumour and in the difficulty of ascertaining whether it is benign or malignant.

Developments in the treatment and prognosis of multiple cerebral abscesses.

Multiple cerebral abscesses have been recognized with increasing frequency because of the use of computed tomography and have been the subject of various therapeutic proposals. Their prognosis has been considerably improved thanks to high dose antibiotic therapy. However, diagnostic and therapeutic problems persist.

Anterointernal approach to the lumbar spine: technical note.

Lumbar surgery is currently benefiting from the development of anterior approaches to the spine and the possibilities of anterior arthrodesis. The transperitoneal approach is being replaced more often by an extraperitoneal approach that enables anterior access to the spine. The authors report an anterointernal approach to the lumbar spine.

[Otoneurosurgical treatment of tumors of the cerebellopontine angle. Apropos of a series of 93 cases].

Authors analyse their experience with the treatment of ninety-three cases of cerebello-pontine angle tumors. A trained team with an otologist and neurosurgeon can obtain best results, both functional and vital. The postero-trans-labyrinthine approach, as described by House and al is used ad the method of choice. Analysis of cases shows that big tumors are frequent and their therapy difficult even if the risk of mortality has been diminished.
