Six patients with arachnoidal cysts of the middle cranial fossa who presented with raised intracranial pressure are described. All of them had a history of trauma though in two of them it was a remote incident. They all showed radiological changes of an expanded middle cranial fossa and temporal lobe agenesis. The relationship of trauma to these congenital lesions is discussed.

The second case of Gowers' syringal haemorrhage, successfully treated by surgery, and the first such case in a child, is described. It is suggested that the very slow development of haematomyelia within an existing hydrosyringomyelia may originate from a torn intraspinal vein, deprived of its normal neural and glial support.

A unique set of identical twin boys with spinal and intracranial meningiomas is described. Three distinct spinal tumours and one intracranial one were removed surgically. One intracranial meningioma has been symptomless, so far. The red cell and leucocyte groups of the two patients were found to be identical, and the probability of their being monozygous was estimated from these data as being 0·932 (Appendix).
