Intracranial sewing needles: Review of 13 cases.

Three new cases of intracranial sewing needles are reported and are reviewed with 10 other published cases. These needles must have been introduced in infancy before the closure of fontanelles. The intention, at least in most cases, has been infanticide. Except in one case which the mother reported and two cases found at necropsy, the others were diagnosed by skull radiography. Headache and epilepsy were the main symptoms and they often appeared when the patient had reached adulthood. Removal of the needles lessened the symptoms.

Intramedullary pearly tumour.

The presentation treatment and postoperative progress of two patients with pearly intraspinal epidermoids is described. In one of the patients the tumour recurred after the first removal, necessitating a second operation. Despite serious disturbances of gait both patients improved following surgery. The literature in respect of these tumours is reviewed.

Hydatid disease of the spine.

In 42 cases of hydatid diseases of the spine the preoperative diagnosis was as follows: hydatid disease--19, benign tumour--8, Tuberculosis--6, malignant disease--4, herniated disk--3, syringomyelia--1, infectious spondylitis--1. The site of the hydatid lesion in these patients was as follows: cervical--5, thoracic (T6-T12)--26, lumbosacral--11. Seven of these cases had previously been operated on for a hydatid cyst in other organs. We had eight recurrences of which five did not respond completely to surgical intervention.
