Giant osteoma of the cranial vault with acromegaly and hydrocephalus. A case report.

A case of acromegaly associated to a giant osteoma of the cranial vault and hydrocephalus in a young woman is reported. It can be suggested that acromegaly favoured the marked growth of the osteoma. Hydrocephalus resulted consequent to both the compression of the superior longitudinal sinus by the tumor and alteration of the CSF resorption. The rarity of giant osteomas of the cranial vault associated with intracranial hypertension is pointed out.

Chronic subdural haematoma after spinal anaesthesia. Case report.

In this study an interesting and not frequent case of non-traumatic chronic subdural haematoma after spinal anaesthesia is reported. After a careful review of the cases described in the literature, the Authors discussed the physiopathological mechanisms, emphasizing how the break of the bridge veins or of the subarachnoid granulations, the cerebral atrophy and the dehydration are factors which facilitate the appearance of this neurological complication. They suggest that a suitable post-operative rehydration is an important prevention factor.
