[On the differential diagnosis of inflammatory illness of the orbit. Computer tomographic results (author's transl)].

Selectet CT-findings in inflammatory orbital diseases are demonstrated with special regard to the differential diagnostic importance of details. Based on the criteria-density of retrobulbar fat, swelling of extraocular muscles, dilatation of orbital vessels, representation of osseous borders of the orbit, pneumatisation of paranasal sinuses etc-typical CT-patterns of disease entities are demonstrated. The differentiation of inflammatory diseases, orbital tumors, and vascular disorders is discussed. The limits of diagnostic interpretation are pointed out.

Multilocular lesions in the therapy of cerebral palsy.

The cerebral pareses occurring in early childhood or produced subsequently by trauma or spontaneous cerebral haemorrhages, present a heterogenous symptomatic picture. In the forefront we find the spastic pareses associated with extra-pyramidal motor hyperkinesia (athetosis, dystonia, ballism). 36 C.P.-patients were surveyed from 1--4 years after operative intervention. It is shown that better results can be obtained when multilocular lesions during a single session in correspondence with the dominant group of symptoms are performed (thalamic and subthalamic target points of the extrapyramidal motor nuclei and dentate nucleus). The results are presented. Continuous physical therapy after the operation and a reasonable intellectual level are essential for improvement.

[An information retrieval system for CT-scan data (author's transl)].

A computer program for the current statistical documentation and evaluation of CT diagnostic results is presented. A diagnostic key for the purposes of CT results has been developed. Special emphasis has been given to fast and simple applicability.

Observations on the differentiation of hydrocephalus occlusus in infancy and early childhood using computerized axial tomography (CAT).

Hydrocephalus occlusus in children is caused by obstructions of the aqueduct and occasionally by cystic deformations of the posterior cranial cavre presented which were initially discovered by computerized axial tomography (CAT). The value of CAT becomes obvious since it can clearly demonstrate cystic and other lesions, size of ventricles and the course of a hydrocephalus. The method is non-invasive and there is no stress for the patient at all.
