New concepts in diagnosis and treatment of back ailments in the elderly.

With the advances in knowledge of the pathophysiology of spinal disorders plus the revolutionary advent of axial tomography, the treatment of back disorders, particularly in the elderly, is becoming more efficacious. Invasive procedures such as myelography, diskography, and epidural venography are becoming outmoded as computer software is further developed, enabling even more sophisticated planal reconstructions, including three-dimensional displays. The outlook for the elderly patient with physically disabling back disorders is much brighter indeed.

Exophthalmos. The more commonly encountered neurosurgical lesions.

A recent discussion of exophthalmos prompted a review of the medical literature and revealed the absence of a report that summarized the diagnosis and management of the more important neurosurgical lesions that produce exophthalmos. A general survey of lesions producing either unilateral or bilateral exophthalmos was therefore conducted. The more common pathophysiologic entities that lend themselves to neurosurgical intervention was selected for review. The present manuscript aims to unify previous studies into an informative survey that combines isolated diagnostic and technical details into a single report.
