Heatstroke and hyperthermias.

We describe the pathogenesis and the typical clinical and laboratory features of the hyperthermia syndromes that may develop during neuroleptic drug treatment, environmental exposure or following the use of inhalational anesthetics. Since the features are similar and confusion is possible we emphasize the need for prompt diagnosis so that appropriate treatment, can be started without delay. Hyperthermic reactions have common pathophysiological mechanisms and they may be seen as an abnormal individual response to organic and functional stressors.

Sonographic findings in septo-optic dysplasia in the fetus and newborn infant.

A 28-year-old primigravida woman was referred for ultrasound studies at 27 weeks' gestation. Sonographic examination found enlarged cerebral ventricles, communicating lateral ventricles, bilateral cleft lip and palate. A 2500 gm male infant was delivered at 36 weeks' gestation, after which the diagnosis of septo-optic dysplasia was made.

Pisa syndrome. Report of a case.

Very few cases of Pisa syndrome have been reported. The syndrome consists of dystonic symptoms, namely, tonic flexion of the trunk to one side and its slight rotation. It appears to be a side effect of prolonged antipsychotic therapy. We report on a case of Pisa syndrome in which withdrawal significantly improved the dystonic symptoms. However, a severe exacerbation of schizophrenic symptoms required the immediate resumption of neuroleptic therapy which was followed by the reappearance of dystonic symptoms. Associated anticholinergic medication led to only a slight improvement.

Sonographic diagnosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum in the fetus and newborn infant.

The sonographic findings in nine cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum examined before and after birth are reported. Agenesis of the corpus callosum was suspected in utero due to a typical configuration of the lateral ventricles, which included enlargement of the atria and occipital horns and marked separation of the bodies. In three cases pregnancy was terminated because of severe associated anomalies. In the remaining six cases postnatal ultrasound examination allowed a certain diagnosis by demonstrating the abnormal configuration of the lateral ventricles, varying degrees of enlargement, and upward displacement of the third ventricle and absence of the corpus callosum.

Long-term results of surgically treated congenital intradural spinal arachnoid cysts.

The authors report long-term results in 17 patients with surgically treated congenital intradural spinal arachnoid cysts. Comparison between the immediate and long-term results demonstrates that surgical removal of the cyst allowed a significant neurological improvement in all cases, but clinical worsening of various degrees was observed later. The authors attempt to explain the results in terms of mechanical and vascular factors.

Evaluation of cerebral blood flow changes by transfontanelle Doppler ultrasound in infantile hydrocephalus.

Doppler ultrasound investigation of cerebral blood flow velocity was performed in hydrocephalic infants through the anterior fontanelle. Systolic (S) and end-diastolic (D) frequency values recorded on the anterior cerebral artery were used to define the pulsatility index (PI) calculated from the equation PI=S-D/S. Comparison between systolic, end-diastolic and pulsatility index values of 50 normal infants and 10 hydrocephalic infants showed a statistically significant difference (P less than 0.05) for systolic and pulsatility index values. However, no significant difference was found for end-diastolic values. The authors believe that the phenomenon could be explained as an increase of the cerebrovascular compliance which counteracts the increase of the perivascular pressure in an attempt to maintain a normal cerebral blood flow. Therefore, the transfontanelle Doppler ultrasound technique may provide a useful and early tool in diagnosing cerebral blood-flow changes in hydrocephalic infants.

Long-term results of surgically treated brainstem gliomas.

Long-term results of 16 surgically treated brainstem gliomas are reported. The results have been reviewed with reference to the clinical and pathological criteria defined by Hoffman and co-workers (1980) in the attempt to differentiate a distinct group of benign tumours. A good correlation has been obtained. The usefulness of surgical treatment of brainstem gliomas has been stressed in view of the survival time as well quality of survival.

Long-term results of the surgical treatment of syringohydromyelia.

Long-term results of 26 patients suffering from syringohydromyelia are reported. The patients underwent laminectomy and myelotomy with marsupialisation of the intracord cavity. Two different long term objective examinations have been performed demonstrating favorable results in 65% of patients at the first examination (mean 8 years following the operation) and in 60% of these at a second examination (mean 14 years following the operation). The limitations of posterior fossa decompression and other surgical procedures have also been discussed. The absence of surgical mortality and the length of follow-up period of this series supported the conclusions that laminectomy and myelotomy with marsupialisation of the intracord cavity represents a reliable method to relieve the effects of associated foramen magnum abnormalities avoiding posterior fossa surgery.

The subependymal veins of the posterior portions of the lateral ventricles.

The Authors studied the subependymal veins of the posterior portions of the lateral ventricles: medial atrial vein (MAV), direct medial vein (DMV), direct lateral vein (DLV), lateral atrial vein (LAV), and inferior ventricular vein (IVV). A detailed description of the normal radiological feature of these veins is reported. Percentages of visualization in normal angiography and diagnostic utilization are also reported.
