[Hydrocephalus following subarachnoid hemorrhage].

The authors present 56 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhages in whom CT of the head demonstrated internal hydrocephalus. This complication was observed most frequently in the age group 51-60 years. In 39% of cases hydrocephalus was low grade, in 36% it was moderately severe, and in 25% high grade. In 33 patients (59%) a syndrome of clinical symptoms and signs was observed which could be related, in part at least, to hydrocephalus. In 11% of cases. Pudenz valve had to be implanted. No significant differences were found in the frequency of hydrocephalus in late period after subarachnoid haemorrhage in relation to sex, number of haemorrhages, clinical state, vasospasm, treatment with epsilon-aminocaproic acid and dexamethasone.

[Meningiomas of the posterior cranial fossa].

In a period of 3 years 12 patients with meningiomas of the posterior cranial fossa were treated surgically. The group included 2 cases of meningioma situated on the cerebellar convexity, 5 on the tentorium, 2 on the posterior aspect of the pyramid bone, 1 of Blumenbach clivus, 2 of foramen magnum. The neurological findings and pneumoencephylographic changes in cases of meningiomas of cerebellar convexity, tentorium and posterior aspect of the pyramid bone made possible the diagnosis of posterior fossa tumour and the diagnosis of meningioma was made possible by carotid and vertebral angiography. In the case of Blumenbach clivus meningioma and in foramen magnum meningiomas the neurological changes were characteristic of tumours at the craniovertebral junction. One meningioma growing through the tentorium was approached from the middle cranial fossa, the remaining ones from the posterior cranial fossa. The tumour could have been removed radically in 7 cases. In 5 cases only partial removal was possible. Three patients died, two after operations for tentorial meningioma and one after operation for Blumenbach clivus tumour. The results in the remaining cases were good.
