Traumatic baso-brainstem subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Traumatic basal subarachnoid haemorrhage is an uncommon disorder that is well described in the forensic literature. The aetiology traditionally has been a relatively minor blunt trauma which is sustained typically at the level of the base of head and injures the arterial system to the brain. The site of trauma may be occult and not always demonstrable. In the case discussed, an acute baso-brainstem subarachnoid haemorrhage was caused by a severed extracranial vertebral artery due to a stabwound injury to the upper neck. A gravitational factor and alcohol intoxication, which might contribute to the basal intracranial haematoma, is given a novel thought.

Tubular orthoses.

A method of constructing orthoses and other patient devices using nylon tubing and clip-together standard components is described. This permits the rapid assembly of custom orthoses that can be evaluated before prescription in a clinical setting. These orthoses have been successfully used for the control of thoracic spinal flexion, hip abduction, elbow extension, shoulder abduction, cervical spine stabilization and pressure sore relief. Advantages over existing orthoses include reduced weight, improved comfort and cosmesis, low cost and increased speed of provision. Examples of these orthoses are shown, together with details of their structure, function and clinical results.
