Ventriculosubcutaneous shunt for temporary treatment of neonatal post-IVH hydrocephalus: a technical note.

A technique for temporary ventricular drainage using a subcutaneous pouch is described for use in neonatal hydrocephalus after intraventricular hemorrhage. The advantages include continuous, valve-regulated ventricular decompression, no exposed tubing, avoidance of electrolyte imbalance and of the loss of CSF, obviation of the need for repeated tapping, and the ability to convert to a peritoneal shunt on an elective basis.

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia complicated by epidural myeloblastoma.

Epidural myeloblastoma, which compressed the spinal cord, was the first evidence for chronic granulocytic leukemia, eosinophilic type, Ph chromosome negative. This manifestation was preceded by 3 years follow-up of a patient with persistent eosinophilia of 60% mature eosinophils. The only clues for the diagnosis of leukemia were splenomegaly and high serum vitamin B12, most of which was bound to transcobalamin I. The latter finding presents a useful diagnostic criterium in myeloproliferative disorders.

Febrile convulsions in an adult as presenting symptom of intracranial dermoid cyst: a case report.

A 32-year-old man had generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures associated with episodes of recurrent high fever for 6 years. Repeated physical examinations including neurological status, EEG and nuclear brain scan were negative. Brain CT showed a non-homogeneous parasellar cyst of low density and fat-fluid levels in the lateral ventricles. The diagnosis of intracranial dermoid cyst was confirmed at surgery and histopathologically. Recurrent febrile convulsions and chemical meningitis may be the only clinical manifestations of ruptured dermoid cyst. The CT features of intracranial dermoid cyst are pathognomonic.
