Primitive hypoglossal artery associated with basilar artery aneurysm.

A case of persistent primitive hypoglossal artery, accompanied by a basilar bifurcation aneurysm, is reported. The persistent primitive hypoglossal artery was seen on the right side and the left vertebral artery was hypoplastic. The right vertebral artery was absent, while a normal sized posterior communicating artery was seen on the right side at the operation on the aneurysm. The combination of a basilar bifurcation aneurysm and a persistent primitive hypoglossal artery is rare. A review of related reports has been made.

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the brain.

The authors report a case of rhabdomyosarcoma originating in the fourth ventricle and review the eight comparable previous reports on true rhabdomyosarcoma, composed solely of mesenchymal elements. Tumors in most adults arose in the cerebral hemisphere, while those in children arose exclusively in the midline structures of the posterior fossa. The tumor in the author's case was initially benign and well circumscribed, but within 2 years had changed into a malignant rhabdomyosarcoma. The histological documentation during the interval is presented and discussed.

Sinus pericranii with aneurysmal malformation of the internal cerebral vein.

A case of sinus pericranii is reported because of a previously unobserved clinical feature. There were associated anomalous dilated deep crebral veins and an aneurysmal venous malformation. Six years after the surgical occlusion of the sinus pericranii the aneurysmal malformation became thrombosed.

[Traumatic aneurysm of the frontopolar artery developing after evacuation of the subdural effusion in a 6-month-old girl (author's transl)].

A 6-month-old girl developed bilateal subdural effusion after head injury. She gradually improved after the partial stripping of the membrane of the subdural effusion although postoperative tappings of the subdural fluid were necessary. Thirty nine days after the injury, she suddenly suffered from a massive intraventricular hemorrhage. A cerebral angiography showed an aneurysm arising from the proximal part of the right frontopolar artery, which had not been revealed in the previous angiograms. It was obscure whether the congenital anomaly of the arterial wall had been existed or not, but this aneurysm might be mentioned as a traumatic aneurysm and definitely developed after the treatment for the traumatic sequence. The mechanism of this aneurysmal formation was supposed that the arterial wall was initially injured by the abnormal traumatic movement of the brain underneath the falx cerebri, and teared arterial wall was further injured by the fluctuating movements of the brain caused by repeated tappings of the effused fluid. Relation of delayed posttraumatic apoplexy and ruptured posttraumatic aneurysms was also discussed, and analysis of the reported cases of the traumatic aneurysm, as well as aneurysm in the infant, was made.

[Subarachnoid hemmorrhage and aneurysmal change of cerebral arteries due to metastases of chorioepithelioma (author's transl)].

An episode of subarachnoid hemorrhage was seen on a 22-year-old married woman, which followed vaginal spotting and convulsive seizure. The neurological examination revealed bilateral papilledema, retinal hemorrhage, neck stiffness, Kernig's sign abducens paresis on the right. The chest X-ray film showed a spherical mass lesion in the right lung. The pelvic examination disclosed no pathological findings, however, HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in the urine increased significantly. Intracranial metastasis of chorioepithelioma was the tentative diagnosis at the admission and the right caroid angiography was performed, which demonstrated a fusiform aneruysm of the right middle cerebral artery beside arterial shift indicating a metastatic mass lesion in the parietal lobe. At surgery the tumor was removed and the arterial change was resected. Histologically the tumor was verified and the aneurysm was produced by metastasis of the tumor to the intima and interruption of the internal elastic membrane. She was placed on the anticarcinogenic agent and later the mass lesion in the chest was operated and irradiated. The postoperative carotid angiography showed another berry-shaped aneurysm arising from the right calloso-marginal artery. After the serial treatment with Actinomycin D the aneurysm disappeared completely and the arterial branch distal to the aneurysm was thrombosed. The patient is still alive 3 years after the onset of illness. An emphasis was placed that the neurosurgeon should be aware of cerebrovascular changes due to metastasis of the chorioepithelioma while making diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage of the female patients who belong to the reproductive age. Intracranial aneurysmal change due to metastatic infiltration to the arterial wall was reported.

[Cerebral paragonimiasis-a report of three cases (author's transl)].

Paragonimiasis is a benign parasitic disease caused by Paragonimus westermani and endemic in Japan, mostly in south-western area. Although the lung is the primary site of infection, ectopic involvement of the brain is not uncommon. Over 300 cases of cerebral paragonimiasis have been reported since the first case of this disease described by Ohtani in Japan in 1887. The patient with paragonimiasis in the lung and the brain were though to be decreasing because of the introduction of Bithionol treatment (Yokogawa in 1961) and public health instruction. However, about 20 cases of cerebral paragonimiasis have been reported for 10 years past in Kyushu.
