Giant cyst of the cavum septi pellucidi and cavum Vergae with posterior cranial fossa extension: case report.

The cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) and cavum Vergae (CV) are frequently seen in premature and term infants. These cavities rarely enlarge and become symptomatic we describe a giant CSP and CV cyst in an 18-month-old boy, extending to the posterior cranial fossa and causing hydrocephalus. The literature is reviewed, and the MRI and CT findings of the case are reported.

A fluid level in an acute extradural haematoma.

We report a fluid level in an acute extradural haematoma developing after placement of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for hydrocephalus. This fluid level was thought to be due to a mixture of blood and cerebrospinal fluid.

Growing skull fracture of the orbital roof.

One year after trauma, diplopia, limitation of ocular movements on the left side, orbital asymmetry, and a growing skull fracture on the orbital roof were reported in an extraordinary case. While presenting this extraordinary localization of growing skull fractures, the anatomy, pathogenesis and the natural evolution of these lesions still remain obscure.

Magnetic resonance imaging in cervical trauma associated with ankylosing spondylitis: report of two cases.

Findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in two cases of traumatic cervical fracture associated with ankylosing spondylitis are presented. In such patients cervical fracture usually occurs in the lower cervical spine from hyperextension injuries. Classic radiologic investigations including plain films, myelography, and computed tomography are insufficient because of osteopenia and distorted anatomy: MRI is superior to other techniques.

Interhemispheric subdural haematomas.

Eight cases of interhemispheric subdural haematomas (ISDHs) are described. Trauma was the most common cause. Two patients were hydrocephalic and one of them had also agenesis of the corpus callosum. The diagnoses were established by CT. In one of the cases with chronic ISDHs, CT findings suggested a subdural empyema. Conservative treatment was preferred for neurologically stable patients. In one of the patients, the haematoma migrated to the cerebral convexity after liquefaction.
