Thrombosed vein of Galen aneurysm.

The authors report a case of thrombosed vein of Galen aneurysm in a 4.5-year-old girl with craniofacial dysostosis (Crouzon's disease). Six previously reported cases appear in the literature. The initial presentation is often associated with the symptoms and signs of hydrocephalus. Computed tomography shows an enhancing mass in the region of the posterior 3rd ventricle with the characteristic "target sign." Arteriography of all aspects of both the anterior and the posterior cerebral circulation is essential. Surgical results in cases of vein of Galen aneurysm have generally been poor, but recent reports of successful operative intervention to treat the thrombosed variety promise satisfactory treatment.

Glioblastoma multiforme of the cerebellum is rare. Approximately 33 case of cerebellar glioblastoma have been reported. Two-thirds of the cases occurred in adults and the male to female ratio was 2:1. The mean age was 46.7 years in adults and 10.4 years in children. Most of the tumors were lateral in location. Two of the patients (6%) had multiple glioblastomas. The time from onset of symptoms to death was approximately one year.

Spinal anesthesia for lumbar disc surgery: review of 576 operations.

Neurologic complications accompanying spinal anesthesia were examined in 576 lumbar disc operations on 507 patients. The single serious complication did not seem attributable to the choice of anesthetic method. Minor neurologic complications, with the exception of spinal headache, could be explained by surgical manipulation. The authors conclude that spinal anesthesia is safe for surgical operations on the laterally herniated lumbar disc.
