Deficiency of reticular fibers in cerebral arteries. On the etiology of saccular aneurysms in childhood.

A 5-year-old, previous healthy, girl developed a large hematoma of the right cerebral hemisphere and died. An aneurysm was strongly suggested. As previously found in adult aneurysm patients, histological and morphometric investigations showed an abnormality of the reticular fibers of the cerebral arteries. We suggest that arterial deficiency of reticular fibers is of importance in formation and rupture of saccular aneurysm, also in childhood.

Lymphoscintigraphy in the head and neck in normals diagnostic value.

The lymphoscintigraphic pattern in the head and neck lymphatics was studied in 45 healthy subjects. After submucous injection of Lymphoscint-solco in the oral cavity there was visualization of regional lymph nodes immediately after food intake. There was an extreme variation in the number of visualized lymph nodes and a lack symmetry between right and left side of the neck. The accumulated radioactivity in subsequent lymph nodes showed an extreme variation. Accordingly no characteristics of diagnostic value could be evaluated from this study.

Flow rates in the head and neck lymphatics after food stimulation in healthy subjects. Clinical value.

In 22 healthy subjects lymph transport flow rates was studied in the head lymphatics after food stimulation, mastication (chewing) and taste. After food stimulation there was a significantly higher transport rate (0.67 meter/hour) than after taste (0.57 meter/hour) and mastication (0.55 meter/hour). The calculation of transport flow rate was independent of quantitative distribution of radioactivity in the head and neck lymphatics, and it could therefore perhaps be of clinical value.

Recurrent urinary incontinence treated neurosurgically.

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction can be difficult to manage and is usually impossible to cure. This case report describes neurosurgical treatment of a case of recurrent urinary incontinence in a 56 years old woman who was previously treated on four occasions with vaginal repair operations with no beneficial effect. Cystometry revealed detrusor hyperreflexia (supranuclear bladder paresis). Myelography demonstrated cervical spinal cord compression. She was treated with spondylodesis of the cervical spine with complete relief of incontinence. 18 months postoperative cystometry was normal and after three years she was free of symptoms.
