[Transcranial Doppler in neurosurgery. A non-invasive method in the diagnosis of vasospasm and subarachnoid hemorrhage].
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography, a noninvasive method to record cerebral blood flow velocity, is increasingly being used to predict the development of a delayed ischemic deficit after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Advantages and limitations of the TCD technique in neurosurgical practice are discussed.

Intermittent cervical traction for cervical radiculopathy caused by large-volume herniated disks.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of intermittent cervical traction in managing 4 patients with cervical radiculopathy and large-volume herniated disks. CLINICAL FEATURES: Four patients had neck pain radiating to the arm. The clinical examination was typical in all cases for radiculopathy of cervical origin. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine revealed large-volume herniated disks in all patients. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOME: The treatment consisted of intermittent on-the-door cervical traction under the supervision of our physiotherapists. Complete symptom resolution for each patient occurred within 3 weeks. One patient who had an episode of recurrence 16 months after the first treatment was successfully managed again with cervical traction and physiotherapy. CONCLUSION: Cervical spine traction could be considered as a therapy of choice for radiculopathy caused by herniated disks, even in cases of large-volume herniated disks or recurrent episodes.

[Stereotactic radiosurgery in neurosurgery].
Gamma-knife stereotactic radiosurgery offers a broad spectrum armamentarium for the safe treatment of various lesions within the central nervous system. It is widely used for treatment of metastastic brain tumors, non respectable tumours, residual or recurrent benign and malignant tumors as well as for treatment of arteriovenous malformations, functional diseases and pain disorders. It is less invasive than most other surgical methods and also cost effective compared to surgical methods and other radiation treatments.
