Ganglioglioma of the brain stem. Case report.

A case of brain-stem ganglioglioma is reported. A review of the literature revealed only 13 other reported cases. Brain-stem gangliogliomas usually become symptomatic in the first and second decades of life and involve the medulla and pons. Clinical improvement and prolonged survival have been reported after partial resection.

Spontaneous hemorrhage in previously ischemic (pale) cerebral infarcts.

Spontaneous bleeding into a pale cerebral infarct is documented in 2 patients. Neither patient had received anticoagulants or was hypertensive. The development of the hemorrhage was associated with neurological worsening. Initial CT scans showed a hypodense lesion in an arterial distribution representing infarction; subsequent CT scans showed multiple areas of hemorrhage within the hypodense lesion. The size of the hemorrhages and their location in gray and white matter differ from the pattern of hemorrhagic infarction and primary intracerebral hemorrhage as visualized on CT scan and at autopsy.
