Angiolipoma of the spinal cord. Magnetic resonance imaging and microsurgical management.

Radiologic diagnosis of intramedullary lipomas has been unreliable for a long time and many of these tumors have not been recognized. The introduction of computed tomography, and lately of magnetic resonance imaging, has led to great progress in the accurate identification of spinal cord tumors as well as in the recognition of type specificity of these lesions. An evaluation of the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging and microsurgical technique for the optimal therapeutic outcome is discussed.

Multiple recurrence of an intracranial hemangiopericytoma.

The multiple multilocular intracranial recurrence of a hemangiopericytoma (HPC) over 21 years in our patient, who has been successfully operated upon and irradiated several times, confirms the known tendency of the majority of HPCs to marked biological activity. The aggressive behavior of HPCs shows an unusually broad scale of variations. On the basis of clinical observations of this particular case, the relative or potential malignancy of HPCs is discussed.

Microsurgical approach to bilateral carotid artery occlusion.

Bilateral thromboses of the carotid artery present in the form of complete bilateral occlusion or in the form of unilateral occlusion associated with stenosis of the contralateral carotid artery. From our experience in a series of 20 patients extra-intracranial microanastomosis appears to be effective in both described groups.
