Simultaneous neurofibroma and schwannoma of the sciatic nerve.
The authors report a case of simultaneously occurring neurofibroma and schwannoma of the sciatic nerve and discuss the complementary aspects of MR and US. The schwannoma was well-defined and showed distal enhancement on sonographic evaluation, whereas the neurofibroma was ill-defined; both tumors were hypoechoic. T1- and T2-weighted MR images revealed similar signal characteristics of the two tumors, but intense enhancement following administration of gadolinium-DTPA distinguished the schwannoma from the neurofibroma.
[Paul Martin (1891-1968). Pioneer of the neurosurgery in Belgium].
As the first chief of an independent neurosurgical unit founded in Belgium in 1948, Paul Martin is to be regarded as the promoter of this speciality in Belgium. After graduation from the U.L.B. medical school, he was one of the first Belgian doctors to stay for two years (1920-22) in USA in the surgical departments of Halsted and Cushing. He returned to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in 1929 for one year as chief of the laboratory of experimental surgery. Through his publications, we try to explain the problems of diagnosis and surgical techniques at that time in comparison with the present day situation. At the beginning, the only test available besides the neurological signs to detect intracranial lesion were plain Xrays of the skull, ophthalmologic examination and cerebrospinal fluid examination. Anaesthesiology was still unsafe and intracranial hypertension was not under control in any way. During his professional career, he witnessed the development of various techniques to localize an intracranial mass such as the ventriculography, encephalography, electroencephalography and later angiography, myelography and iodoventriculography. The introduction of the use of the electrocoagulation was one of the major advances in surgical technique during his lifetime.
[3-year evaluation of the surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Apropos of 100 surgically treated aneurysms].
The authors present the results of surgical treatment of a consecutive series of 100 cases of intra cranial aneurysm. The results are analysed in relation to various factors such as the pre-operative delay, the clinical status, the location of the aneurysm and the age of the patient. Altogether, the percentage of excellent and good results is 83%. Bad results account for 10% of the total and deaths represent 7%. Shunted postoperative hydrocephalus was recorded in 10% of cases and half were due to aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. Postoperative spasm (16%) was the severest complication, responsible for more than half the deaths.

[Diagnostic and microsurgical aspects of brachial plexus tumors].
Brachial plexus tumors are rare. Important progress in the diagnosis of these tumors has been realized, by means of CT-scan and angiography. The nature of the tumour, benign or malignant, plays a determining part in the results. Microsurgical technique allows large excisions with minimal sequelae.
Recognition of cervical soft disk herniation by contrast-enhanced CT.
A large number of patients with suspected cervical disk herniation were examined by high-resolution computed tomography (CT) with intravenous contrast enhancement. Thirteen herniated disks have been diagnosed by this technique. The disk protrusion causes displacement and a resultant filling defect in the epidural plexus, which is visualized after contrast enhancement. In some cases not clearly diagnosable by this method or by conventional myelography, the combination of intrathecal metrizamide and CT was most valuable.
