Cerebro-spinal fluid eosinophilia in shunt infections.

Hypereosinophilia has been detected in the CSF of 22 patients in a series of 81 cases of shunt infection. It was related with the evolution of the sepsis. Its persistence at the end of treatment appeared to predict later complications, septic or obstructive, and it could be the sign of latent infection. HE might be the result of a specific reaction directed against the infected material, but a non-specific process cannot be eliminated.

[Congenital dermoid cysts and fistulae of the nose. Apropos of 19 cases].

Nineteen patients with nasal dermal sinuses were operated over a period of twelve years. 12 patients presented with a fistula and 8 with a cyst. One of them presented with a double sinus ostia. In six patients, intracranial extension was confirmed through a surgical approach. Clinical examination and CT scans determined the choice of surgical approach. All sinuses were removed by two surgical procedures: direct incisions, either vertical midline or horizontal glabellar, and nasofrontal osteotomy via a coronal approach. The main theories of dermoid development are explained and embryogenesis is compared to the operative findings.

[Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation].

Traumatic atloido-occipital dislocation is usually fatal with immediate cardio-respiratory arrest. The authors report 3 cases of children who survived such a spine injury despite neurological impairment. Clinical and radiological data including Magnetic Resonance Imaging are compared with 18 other cases reported in the literature.

[Carotid dolichosiphon. One case (author's transl)].

A report of the case of a 68 year old patient with a 9,5 cm long ectasia of the cisternal portion of the left internal carotid. On the basis of this case, the authors review the pathology due to such dolichomega-arteries and the aetiology of arteriectasia which are partly dysplasic in origin.
