CT findings in eclampsia.

Cranial CT was performed in five patients with eclampsia: densitometric modifications were present in all cases. Only one patient, who later died, displayed multiple foci of cerebral haemorrhage; all others presented bilateral, symmetrical, nonenhancing hypodensities with mass effect interpreted as cerebral oedema. At CT performed 7-14 days after interruption of the pregnancy, these characteristic hypodense lesions were no longer present while neurological symptoms disappeared.

[Giant parietal foramina. A surgical defect?].

Sinus pericranii is unusually demonstrated in the region of the obelion. The radiological findings are those of large parietal foramina and the overlying soft tissue is bulging, suggesting vascular collection. The possible relationship between ossification of parietal bone and vascular anomaly is discussed.

[Gaseous myelography. Accidents and complications. Case reports].

Attention is called to the risks of gas myelography and two cases of complications are described. One of these, observed personally, was fatal and its possible pathogenetic mechanisms are illustrated. Stress is laid on certain rules and precautions that should be respected in radiological and anaesthesiological practice. Insufflation pressure and volumes of injected air deserve particular attention and scrupulous intraoperative control cut of vital parameters must be carried and appropriate attention paid to patient hydration during the postoperative period.

[Changes in the cranio-cervical junction in Down's syndrome].

Twenty-eight subjects with Down syndrome, 9-29 years old, were examined for instability of the cervical spine at the atlanto-axial and atlanto-occipital joints. This region was studied by evaluating the atlanto-odontoid space and the basilar line both in neutral position and during functional movements. Two patients (7.2%) presented atlanto-axial anomalies, while 3 patients (10.7%) showed atlanto-occipital instability. Clinical goniometric measurements demonstrated specific and significant improvement in the extension movement of Down patients, when compared to the control group.

[Computerized tomography in rheumatoid arthritis of the cranio-cervical junction].

Twenty rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with involvement of the cranio-cervical junction (CCJ) were given CT scan. In most cases the myelo-CT technique with the lumbar injection of small quantities of non-ionic contrast medium was adopted; CT easily diagnosed the "horizontal" and "vertical" dislocations on the CCJ, the bone structure lesions and the inflammatory masses. A high frequency of medullary compressions was also found in these patients. Myelo-CT appears to be the technique of choice for the precise definition of the various factors responsible for the neurological complications found in RA of the CCJ.
