Cortical-evoked responses before and after percutaneous thermocoagulation of the Gasserian ganglion. Preliminary report.

Percutaneous thermocoagulation of the Gasserian ganglion allows a good preservation of facial touch sensation with a complete and immediate regression of the symptomatology in a majority of cases. Neurophysiological bases are the peculiar resistance to the thermal lesion of the large myelinated fibers compared to the relatively smaller fibers. The study of the cortical-evoked responses before and after surgery suggests that the afferent volley travels in preference along these large myelinated fibers.

Clotting changes in two patients with longitudinal sinus thrombosis.

Two patients with angiographically proven longitudinal sinus thrombosis were studied from a coagulation point of view. In the first case, marked primary thrombocytosis was found. This patient was treated with aspirin, dipyridamole and radioactive phosphorus. In the second case, fibrinogen and whole blood plasma viscosity were elevated. This patient developed deep vein thrombosis of the left leg a few weeks after the cerebral episode and was treated with coumarin drugs. The importance of a coagulation study in every patient with cerebral vein thrombosis is emphasized.

Neurogenic hypernatraemia: case report.

A 49-year-old man was submitted to neurosurgery for a cranio-pharyngioma. The lesion, which appeared to involve the antero-inferior wall of the third ventricle, caused lack of appropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release in response to hypernatraemia and plasma hyperosmolality. The probable mechanism of this hypothalamic syndrome is suggested.
