[When is rigid internal fixation indicate din multiple injuries with head trauma? (author's transl)].

Operative fracture treatment is an important therapeutic measure in patients with cranial and other multiple injuries. If signs of reversible brain stem injury are present, the operative fixation of the long tubular bone fractures is indicated, whereas it contraindicated with irreversible damages to the brain stem. Nursing of the patients in coma is much more feasible after rigid internal fixation. Loss of consciousness alone is no contraindication of internal fixation.

[Echinococci of the spinal canal].

The authors present a 51-year-old patient who was admitted to the neurosurgical department of the hospital because of paraparesis and vegetative disturbances. Myelography showed a complete lumbosacral stop. During surgery, large masses of Echinococcal cysts were removed from the extradural space. 20 months after the intervention, another operation became necessary because of a relapse. The fact is stressed that in spinal hydatidosis late relapses must be expected.

Study on the vasodilator effects of ethyl apovincaminate in neurosurgical patients.

Studies have been performed in a series of 44 neurosurgical cases. The patients were subjected to detailed neurological examination and EEG after admission and before being discharged. The effect of ethyl apovincaminate (RGH-4405, Cavinton) on cortical electric activity was investigated after the administration of 10 mg i.v. Cavinton. In cases on long-term courses of three times daily 5 mg Cavinton in tablets, control EEG was performed one and two months, respectively, after the start of medication. The state of vessels of the eye-ground was also checked. In cerebral angiography attention was concentrated on width of the vascular lumen and visualization of Cavinton effect on vessels which on account of narrowing or spasm had not filled up with contrast medium prior to Cavinton. During angiography the patients were given i.v. 10 mg. Cavinton diluted to 10 ml with physiological saline. In the cases where investigations failed to reveal any change requiring neurosurgical intervention and insufficient cerebral circulation had to be held responsible for the patient's condition, three times 10 mg Cavinton i.v. was administered daily as long as the patient was at our Department. After having been discharged these patients took three times daily 5 mg Cavinton in tablets. Duration of the course of oral Cavinton depended on the degree of improvement in the patient's condition. Cavinton was used with success in cases where cerebral circulation was damaged for functional or organic reasons. Allergic hypersensitivity did not occur in any of the cases, either on single doses or long-term use of parenteral or oral Cavinton.
