[Spinal aneurysmal cyst].

The authors report one case of aneurysmal rachidian cyst who concern a young girl of eleven years old presenting lumbagos with pyramidal irritation on a L2 and L3 lesion. The radiological exploration (CT, MRI) has a double interest: to find again lytical pictures of the rear arch blowing the cortical, liquids levels, logets which remind the macroscopical appearance of the aneurysmal rachidian cyst; to specify the regional extension of preoperative interest. The histological confirmation of the aneurysmal rachidian cyst after a surgical treatment and the conformity of anatomo-radiological descriptions, confirm the predictive value of the semeiology described in case of aneurysmal rachidian cyst.

CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of the cervical spine: a series of 12 cases.

Twelve patients underwent biopsy of cervical vertebral bodies under CT guidance. An accurate diagnosis was obtained in 11. No complications were observed, except for a transitory recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. Technical problems of the cervical spine biopsy are discussed and the utility of bone biopsy with a coaxial trephine system is emphasized.

Anterior cervical spinal artery originating from a right vertebral artery with a bifid origin.

A case of an anterior cervical spinal artery originating from a right vertebral artery with a bifid origin is presented. Such an origin may have important surgical consequences, and must be evokated when the vertebral artery enters the cervical canal at an unusual level.

[Endovascular treatment of peripheral arteriovenous malformations].

The progress made by noninvasive exploration for the assessment of vascular malformations now allows the therapeutic strategies to be better established. While observation and conservative methods are most often chosen, some arteriovenous malformations lead to contemplating a palliative or curative treatment. In these cases, embolization currently plays a great role, associated or not to surgery. This embolization obviously can be contemplated only after a collegial decision to treat these malformations has been made, knowing that they may be silent or acquire an uncontrollable evolution potential. The authors present 3 cases of peripheral arteriovenous malformations, treated by an endovascular way, and remind the principles and indications of these embolizations.
