Two cases of femoral neuropathy caused by iliacus hematoma occurring during anticoagulant therapy are described. The pathogenesis and the clinical picture of this particular pathology are discussed and the necessity of early surgical decompression is emphasized.

A case of spinal intradural arachnoid cyst is presented, and the literature dealing with this rare lesion is surveyed. The etiological and pathological features are discussed; emphasis is placed on the importance of correct interpretation of clinical and radiological findings that may be diagnostically misleading.
Spontaneous epidural spinal hematoma is a rare entity. Only a correct diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment permit full recovery in patients affected by this lesion. The authors report the case of an elderly patient who was successfully treated and in whom histological examination of the surgical specimens revealed a subperiosteal vascular malformation as a probable cause of the lesion.
Two cases of intraparenchymal hemangioma calcificans, an extremely rare variety of cavernous angioma, are reported. These lesions, well demonstrated on roentgenographic films of the skull and on computerized tomography scans, appeared avascular during the course of cerebral angiography. Clinical features, as well as macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, are discussed. The differential diagnosis from other intracranial calcified lesions is difficult. The literature describing this rare lesion is briefly reviewed, with special regard to the surgical indications.
A rare case of intracerebral abscess caused by aspergillus fumigatus located in the right occipital region is described; pathogenesis, prognosis and treatment of this particular infection are discussed.
A case of migration into a lateral ventricle of a Raimondi ventriculoperitoneal uni-shunt system is reported.

The authors present three cases of orbital angioma (two with serious spontaneous hemorrhage) and discuss the symptomatology, the diagnostic procedures and operability. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
The possibility of lumbosacral root involvement caused by lateral recess stenosis is discussed. The anatomy of the lateral recess, its pathology and the correct surgical approach are considered.

A rare case of spinal cord compression caused by a solitary plasmocytoma situated at the level of the 9th and 10th thoracic vertebrae, is described. The solitary plasmocytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of various types of spinal cord compression and considered as something completely separate from multiple myeloma (Willis, 1941). If operated on adequately, the solitary plasmocytoma can be considered a lesion with benign characteristics.
