[Thalamic abscess. A stereotaxically treatable lesion].

Solitary abscesses of the thalamus are an infrequent entity which carry serious problems with regard to treatment. We present a patient with an unknown septic focci who developed a right thalamic abscess due to Streptococcus constellatus and was treated by stereotaxic drainage for the suppuration and antibiotics. The patient was clinically and radiologically (CAT) controlled up until total cure of the lesion. Complications included dissemination of the infection to the meningeal space and a residual coreic picture controlled with tetrabenzine. The authors believe that evacuation by stereotaxic punction should be included among the therapeutic options available for deeply localized cerebral abscesses.

[Neurofibromatosis and stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius. A magnetic resonance assessment].

Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant disease involving peripheral nerves and central nervous system. Obstructive hydrocephalus in this disease represents a common finding when it is due to the development of infratentorial neoplasm. Nevertheless, the occurrence of isolated nonneoplastic aqueductal stenosis in patients affected by neurofibromatosis has been described rarely. The authors report two cases of primary nontumoral aqueductal stenosis associated with Von Recklinghausen's disease who were diagnosed by CT scan and MRI. The pathogenesis of aqueductal narrowing in neurofibromatosis is discussed.

[Meningioma of the third ventricle. Presentation of a case].

Meningiomas of the third ventricle are extremely rare; the authors report a case of meningothelial meningioma located in the anterior part of the third ventricle. The tumor was successfully removed through a trans-ventricular approach. The clinical presentation, radiological findings and surgical management of these tumors are reviewed.
