[Results of surgery for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage].

The authors subdued 82 patients to an analysis, the aim of which was to determine the most optimum indication criterias for operations due to hypertonic brain hemorrhage. The survival rate, its qualities and other parameters in the group under observation did not significantly differ from characteristics of groups of patients given by literature. Therefore, they recommend the following factors to be taken into consideration of surgical indication: age, general status of the patient, localization of the hematoma, associated internal diseases. (Tab. 3, Fig. 5, Ref. 16.)

Two-dimensional ultrasonographic examination through postoperative defects in skull.

The authors describe the advantages of two-dimensional ultrasound examination in patient with skull defects of various origin. It is better to use ultrasound transducer with high frequencies, which have higher discerning capability to distinguish fine anatomic details. In comparison to CT the two-dimensional echoencephalography is harmless for the patient, it enables the monitoring of intracranial situation through an "acoustic window" and examination in several planes.

[Comparison of ultrasonic and computer tomography examinations of the intracranial space in early childhood].

Comparison of ultrasound (US) and computer tomography (CT) examinations of intracranial pathology in early childhood yielded results speaking in favor of CT examination both in the light of overall precision and completeness of the information provided. The distress involved in the examination of generally seriously threatened children (anesthesia, radiation, transport) on the other hand, advocates US examination as the method of choice, particularly due to its noninvasiveness, the possibility to follow up the dynamics of the process in a series of examinations, its cost effectivity, mobility, threedimensional imaging ability, as well as the possibility to assess conditions that can be affected by treatment in early childhood.

[Multiple meningiomas--diagnostic and therapeutic problems].

The authors present the case of a 0-year-old patient with multiple meninglomatous intracranial foci. They draw attention to the relatively rare occurrence of this condition and its complexity from the diagnostic and therapeutic aspect. The incidence of multiple meningiomas is more typical for advanced age (above 60 years), whereby their size increases with age and the male:female ratio is 1:3.

CT-scan or two-dimensional echoencephalography in neonatal intracranial pathology?

The authors compare advantages and disadvantages of CT-scan and two-dimensional echoencephalography in examination of intracranial space of small babies. CT is more precise and complex, but it requires anesthesia and transport (CT-scanners are only in regional centers), moreover the child is endangered by irradiation. Echoencephalography is not so descriptive, but is noninvasive, simple, mobile, cheaper, enables to follow the dynamics of the process, examination in three planes and can be very useful during the operation.

[Peroperative use of two-dimensional ultrasonic imaging in neurosurgery].

The use of "real-time" ultrasonographic two-dimensional picture in the neurosurgery operation theatre increases and improves the possibility of localization of intracerebral and intraspinal lesions, enables precise needle biopsies, decreases a potential risk of damage to healthy brain tissue, visualizes the results of tumour resection, helps in the localization of catheters into chambers and cysts. The final results of the application of two-dimensional picture in the course of neurosurgery operation is in speeding up the surgical therapy, giving it more precision and safety, while the prolongation of the operation due to the ultrasonography is negligible. The authors document the visualization possibilities of two-dimensional ultrasonographic scanning with linear probe in preoperational recordings of different types of lesions in intracranial and intraspinal space.
