Diagnostic and therapeutic problems concerning tumors of the vault.

We observed 36 tumors of the cranial vault in children (11 epidermoid and dermoid cysts, 3 meningiomas, 3 malignant tumors, 11 vascular tumors, 6 eosinophilic granulomas, 2 osteomas). The common clinical finding enabling us to include all 36 tumors in this study is a large tumefaction of the cranial vault, without our being able to determine its anatomical starting point or histological nature. These observations are described according to whether they have a bony, dural or cutaneous origin, differentiating tumors of embryological origin. In the majority of cases, internal and external carotid angiography was performed to help surgery, which remains the only cure.

Extradural hematomas in children. 104 cases.

The authors have studied the clinical features of 104 extradural hematomas in children. The frequency of this complication seems rather high and its severity undeniable. 17 cases were observed in newborns and 2 cases were localized in the posterior fossa. From a clinical point of view, 57% of the children had no disturbances in consciousness at the time of the injury, and 7% had no disturbances at anytime. A lucid interval was found in 68% of the cases, and this was less than 24 h in 60% of the cases. In 19% of the cases there was no skull fracture. Angiography allowed correct diagnosis and a better choice of the surgical technique. The hematoma was distinctly localized in 59 children, whereas it was widespread in 45, meaning that, excepting the coronal suture, the cranial sutures do not limit the spreading of an extradural hematoma. For treatment the authors prefer a bone flap with four or five holes (90 operations). The results are rather unsatisfactory. 18 patients died and in 21 (7.2%) the motor sequelae were the most important complications.
