[Superacute extradural hematoma].

After a survey of data in the literature the authors have used four criteria for the identification of the supraacute extradural hematoma:--an interval of maximum two hours between the occurence of the trauma and the performance of the intervention or exitus;--a severe cerebral syndrome with primary brutal coma, or coma that has developed in the above-mentioned interval;--the discovery during intervention of a "developing" hematoma, mostly as fluid, and the identification of the source of haemorrhage;--persistent cerebro-ventricular collapse after evacuation of the hematoma, that makes necessary the application of operative procedures for achieving recovery. Two of the 5 observations of the authors are presented, both in males, aged 22 and 73 years respectively, in whom surgery was performed in an interval of less than two hours. All the patients were comatose when the intervention was carried out, and 3 of them had a temporal fracture. The diagnosis was made by angiography. During surgery a fluid extradural hematoma was found, and the source of the haemorrhage was identified in three of them as a major branch of the median meningeal artery. One death was recorded due to recidive of extra-dural hematoma, associated with cerebral contusion and cerebral edema. In all the five patients the authors found cerebro-ventricular collapse that was recovered by introduction of physiologic saline and air through the lumbar route during the intervention.

[The evolution of the incidence of glial brain tumors in Moldova in 1981-1991: the effect of excessive accidental hyper-radioactivity].

The authors discussed the effects of nuclear accident from Chernobyl (1986) upon the histotypes of cerebral glial tumors, first diagnosed during 1981-1991 at the Department of Pathology, Neurosurgical Hospital, Iaşi. It's microscopic diagnosis was determined according to the World Health Organization criterion (1979). The investigations established a tendency to diminish the incidence of astrocytomas and to increase the oligo-astrocytic tumors number, after 1986. Malignant astrocytomas did not presented any modifications with statistical significance during the eleven studied years.
