The criteria of culticentric gliomas, based upon histological data, were recently defined (Bartzdorf et al. 1963) and permits us to distinguish them clearly from multiple gliomas. The authors report an atypical case of glioma for which the diagnosis of multicentric gliomas has been established after anatomical and histological studies. Physiopathological hypotheses are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the clinical pictures, diagnostic techniques as well as evolution and therapeutic aspects.
Five cases of spontaneous cerebellar hematomas are reported. In four cases the diagnosis was made by computerized tomography. The clinical diagnosis being difficult, surgical treatment was often applied too late and the diagnosis sometimes never made. Systematic use of computerized tomography should allow earlier treatment of this type of lesion, the clinical evolution determining the prognosis. (Acta neurol. bels., 1980, 80, 73-79).
