Recanalization of blocked vessels by means of transluminal recanalization is a highly successful procedure provided there is proper patient selection. The results vary according to the skill of the operator, and when successful, they are most dramatic.
Ten cases of pituitary micro-adenomas are reported. Skull radiographs and tomography were negative or questionable in all 10 cases. All patients were scanned because of changes in the endocrine system governed by the pituitary fossa. All patients presented clinically with symptoms which indicated the presence of micro-adenomas. Surgery verified 4 cases which were proved to be adenomas on histological examination.
The embolization of an inoperable arteriovenous malformation of the brain using gelatin foam strips via the Seldinger technique is described. Subsequent operative ligation of the major feeding vessels was performed, with an excellent postoperative result.
Computed axial tomography (CAT) allows pinpoint renal localization for percutaneous renal biopsy. A method for using CAT is described. This method may also be used for accurate localization of masses in the retroperitoneal space, lung, kidney, liver, bone or pancreas.

Isolated schwannomas may occur in many different situations within the central nervous system. Most neurilemmomas are benign, and enucleation after longitudinal dissection of the nerve will usually affect a cure.
