The timing of CT.

There were 276 patients with severe head injuries admitted to the Neurosurgical Clinic of the A.H.E.P.A University Hospital during the last two years. Comatose state, dilated pupils without reaction to light and respiration disturbances (Glasgow Score 7) were the main characteristic state in 60% of the patients. Computed Tomography (CT) cases. The appearance of delayed hematomas, three intracerebral and one extradural, was noted 48 hours after injury. Because of these cases we stress the value of a CT-scan, it s timing and discuss briefly the literature regarding the pathophysiology of delayed hematomas.

[Variation in the dimensions of the cerebellomedullary cistern after ventriculo-cardiac shunting].

Various morphological changes of the skull and brain were observed after surgical treatment for internal hydrocephalus. An interesting variation is described by the authors, at the site of the cisterna magna, the size of which can vary. Generally it is the last one to dilate when an internal hydrocephalus occurs, but it is the first to regress after inserting a drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid. This behavior of the cisterna magna is discussed, illustrated and reviewed in the literature, after presentation of three clinical histories. From a physiopathological point of view the cisterna magna is considered to be an intermediate formation between the ventricular and the subarachnoid systems.

[Neuropathological lesions in posttraumatic internal hydrocephalus].

The authors described the lesions associated with post-traumatic internal hydrocephalus in 4 cases who died after a prolonged post-traumatic coma. The internal hydrocephalus, quite severe in all cases, and the demyelination in the periventricular white matter in 3 cases, are thought to be produced by a chronic increase in the intraventricular pressure, probably secondary to malfunction of circulation and resorption of the cerebro-spinal fluid.

[A new observation of crossed aphasia in a right-handed man].

The observation of a crossed aphasia is presented in a right handed man. These troubles of the language appeared, following an anterior right temporal lobectomy for ablation of an oligodendroglioma. They are in accordance with the classic data of the litterature as much as by their clinical features than by their evolution.
