Fissures in the anterior arch of the atlas diagnosed by careful study of the lateral radiographs.

Fissures in the anterior arch of the atlas are rare. The defect can properly be diagnosed on axial radiographs and can be suspected in studying carefully the lateral x-ray. The developmental cause of the split anterior arch and its clinical significance are discussed. A median cleft, analogous to a fissure in the anterior arch of the atlas, may also occur in the proatlas, as shown in one case.

[Occlusion of the basilar artery (author's transl)].

Occlusion of the basilar artery was demonstrated arteriographically in two cases. The symptomatology is described. Due to effective collateral circulation the patients survived and recovered from severe neurological deficits. One of the patients, clincally in a state resembling akinetic mutism for several weeks, not only survived but regained speech. To our knowledge this has not been reported in the literature previously. Our cases as well as similar ones of others showed, that for development of effective intrcranial collaterals the time, during which occlusion occurs, is clearly of importance. Development of collateral circulation also depends on the anatomy of the circle of Willis and a sufficient extracranial circulation.

Persisting intrapituitary recessus infundibuli.

X-ray examination of the intracranial ventricles with Dimer X made it possible to make the diagnosis of obstructive hydrocephalus due to a mass lesion of the midbrain and abnormal intrasellar recess of the third ventricle in a 34 year old female patient. Considering the location and ontogenetic and phylogenetic facts one can diagnose the second pathological finding as a persisting intrapituitary recessus infundibuli. A malformation due to inhibition during development is to be assumed.
