In the period 1991 - 1993, 931 casualties with 1435 injured peripheral nerves were surgically treated at the Clinic for Neurosurgery of the Military Medical Academy. The statistical analyses of these series was done according to the type of the injured nerves, the age and sex of the wounded. The cause of injuries, associated and combined injuries, distribution of single and multiple lesions of certain nerves, as well as employed surgical procedures were analyzed.

[Anatomic characteristics and clinical signs of congenital anomalies in the circle of Willis].

Anatomical characteristics and clinical importance of congenital anomalies of cerebral arteries were examined based on the results obtained by dissection of the circle of Willis blood vessels of 70 native cadaveric brains. Anomalies were most frequently found in posterior communicant artery and their most frequent type was hypoplasia of the blood vessel. Multiple anomalies of the circle of Willis were found in 3 cadavers. Premortal neurological symptomatology (PNS) existed in 5 cadavers. There was no significant difference in PNS occurrence at autopsy in cases with or without anomalies. Association of aneurisms with anomalies of the circle of Willis was found in two cases, but it was not significant in comparison to the control group with no anomalies.

[Anatomic and clinical characteristics of arteriovenous malformations of the brain].

Vascularization, drainage and clinical presentation were analyzed on the series of 25 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVM), diagnosed by pancephalic angiography. Monoarterial vascularization was most frequently seen in frontally localized anomalies, and drainage was always done by the nearest major venous vessel (dural sinus of Galen's vein). Initial symptom was intracranial bleeding in 60%, and epilepsy in 40%. Intraventricular bleeding occurred initially in all paraventricular AVMs. All focal attacks occurred in parietal AVMs, all psychomotor in temporal AVMs and 80% of generalized attacks occurred in cases of frontal anomalies. The most frequent symptom was headache (44%).
