Abstract

A rarely encountered case of primary multiple brain tumours is discussed: polymorphic cellular astrocytoma of the frontal and temporal lobes of both hemispheres of the brain and fibroblastic arachnoid endothelioma of the right temporal area. Intravital diagnosis of such tumours was extremely difficult due to the prevalence of general suprafocal symptoms in the brain.

Liliequist's membrane in minimally invasive endoscopic neurosurgery.

Liliequist's membrane, an arachnoid condensation extending from the upper border of the dorsum sellae to the anterior edge of the mammillary bodies and formerly a relatively insignificant structure, has been found to be extremely important in the neuroendoscopic management of hydrocephalus. Failure to open this membrane can lead to the failure of third ventriculostomies.

The possible role of CSF hydrodynamic parameters following in management of SAH patients.

It is suggested that reduced intracranial compliance may be present even when measured ICP is normal and may precede clinical deterioration. Our findings reflect a decompensation of hydrodynamic parameters more pronounced 4-7 postictal days, when compliance is reduced not only in patients with poor clinical condition, but also in patients with Hunt-Hess grade I-III. Increased CSF outflow resistance in the first few days is not surprising; it is thought to be due to the blockage of flow of CSF through the basal subarachnoid cisterns and clogging of the arachnoid villi with erythrocytes and fibrin. Enlargement of ventricles seen on CT scan at the same time suggests the development of acute hydrocephalus. During the first days after SAH, our data reflects evidence of ventricular enlargement in patients presenting with both poor and better clinical condition. We conclude that the monitoring of ICP and dynamic measuring of CSF hydrodynamic parameters is important for longer than the generally accepted few days for selected cases after SAH.
