[Diagnostic problems in epidural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa].

Posttraumatic posterior cranial fossa haematoma is a rare occurrence. In our material it accounted for 1.5% of all intracranial haematomas. Due to its infrequency and diagnostic difficulties these patients are referred with delay to neurosurgeons and often die with signs of brain stem lesion. The reported case was a 25-year-old man with this haematoma and considerable diagnostic difficulties were encountered despite the application of modern imaging techniques. These difficulties hamper the qualification of the patient for operation which is the method of choice in these cases.

[Treatment of iliac vein thrombosis by use of filter placed in the inferior cava vein in a female patient after reoperation of meningioma of the smaller section of the sphenoid bone].

Deep phlebothrombosis is a one of the postoperative complications in neurosurgery in 90% localized in lower extremities. The brain contains the highest concentration of tissue thromboplastin compared with the other organs. That fact plays an important roll in pathophysiology of thrombo-embolic process in neurosurgery. The most frequent places of thrombogenesis are venous sinus of soleus muscle and gastrocnemius muscle, next: deep veins of crus, femoral veins and iliac veins. We describe the case of the efficient treatment of femoral vein and iliac vein thrombosis using filter placed under control of monitor in the inferior caval vein higher than the thrombus.
