Posturography.

Abstract

Posturography is a method of measuring a patient's ability to control his balance. Currently available testing techniques may be useful to otologists, although they have not been shown to yield information beyond that obtained from other diagnostic procedures. More powerful techniques are under development, but methodologic problems remain, and none is yet ready for routine clinical use.

Posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm in the fourth ventricle.

We report a patient with a ruptured aneurysm of the choroidal branch of the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), lying in and causing an isolated haemorrhage in the fourth ventricle. MRI on the first day after bleeding revealed an abnormal vessel in the fourth ventricle, which was surrounded by a mass of intermediate signal on T1- and T2-weighted images. The aneurysm was clipped via partial splitting of the lower vermis and opening the inferior medullary velum. A postoperative angiogram confirmed complete obliteration of the aneurysm. With PICA aneurysms the rate of intraventricular haemorrhage is high and in most cases due to reflux of blood. If there is an isolated intraventricular haemorrhage, a peripheral PICA aneurysm, lying in or near the fourth ventricle, may be suspected.

Uncommon posterior cranial fossa anomalies: MRI with clinical correlation.

The clinical and MRI findings in two cases of rhombencephalosynapsis (RS) and two of tectocerebellar dysraphia (TCD) with an associated occipital encephalocele were studied to elucidate the clinical picture and embryogenesis of these rare anomalies. To our knowledge, only one case of TCD [1] and four of RS [2, 3] examined by MRI during life have been reported. The clinical picture in the cases of RS was rather constant and there were similarities with TCD. Consideration of the embryogenesis of the neural tube suggests a temporal proximity of the abnormalities, with TCD arising at a slightly earlier time.
