[Traumatic obliteration of the middle cerebral artery. Pathogenic considerations].

Report on one case of traumatic obliteration of the middle cerebral artery together with a review of the pathogenetic theories published till presently on this subject. Three factors are retained in the case object of the present work: --compression of the arterial wall in the Sylvian fissure, as a consequence of contusion and cerebral edema, --disorders in the platelets aggregation, --high blood pressure.

Optical-chiasmatic region epidermoid with a suprasellar and prepontina region cysticercosis.

The Authors report a case of epidermoid in the optical-chiasmatic region associated with a cysticercosis in the suprasellar and prepontal region. The patient was surgically treated with success: a bilobate cystic formation with ramifications adherent to the carotid siphon was found in front of optic nerves. Opening the arachnoid between the left optic nerve and carotid, a dysembriogenetic cystic formation was observed. Adherent to it there was the wall of a second parasitic cystic formation (probably cysticercosis) from which some small cysts slid away. After a review of the literature the Authors point out both the casual association of the two pathologies and the utility of C.T. scan in the diagnostic process of the above mentioned lesions.

Considerations on the operative results in a group of elderly neurosurgical patients.

536 patients from 60 to 84 years old, operated on for neurosurgical lesions, are evaluated with reference to post-operative mortality rate related to the type of pathology. 83 deaths (15.6%) occurred in this series. Mortality rate increases progressively with advancing age. It is outlined that the aged patients have lesser chances of surgical success, but the present data induce to consider with greater favour the outcome of these patients.
