Pleural and bone marrow metastasis from supratentorial oligoastrocytoma grade III.

We report a 62-year-old man with symptomatic metastasis to the pleural cavity and the bone marrow from a supratentorial oligoastrocytoma grade III, 24 years after the initial symptoms. Before tumor dissemination, the patient underwent brain surgery four times in 5 years. Six months after the last treatment, extraneural dissemination to the right pleural cavity was discovered. Despite resection of the pleural metastasis, local and distant spread to the bone marrow developed. The patient died 5 months after the occurrence of extraneural tumor metastasis. It is speculated that repeated brain surgery and extended survival may promote extraneural dissemination of supratentorial oligoastrocytoma grade III.

[Computer-assisted detection of cerebral embolism using a multi-range principle].

Since its introduction into the clinical setting at the beginning of the 'eighties, transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) has gained increasing acceptance as a non-invasive neuromonitoring technique. The ability of TCD to detect embolic particles within the cerebral blood vessels has been the subject of intensive investigation in recent years. In the present paper, a new method for the detection of emboli (multirange principle), intra-operatively during a neurosurgical intervention in a 35-year-old patient with a tumour in the posterior fossa and an open foramen ovale, is described for the first time. The method opens up new possibilities for the intra-operative management and the rapid assessment and diagnosis of paradoxical cerebral embolism.
