Oligodendroglioma of the fourth ventricle with intracranial and spinal oligodendrogliomatosis: a case report.
We report a case of oligodendroglioma of the fourth ventricle complicated by disseminated intracranial and spinal oligodendrogliomatosis. This is further evidence that primary oligodendrogliomas arising in close proximity to the cerebrospinal pathway have a predilection for spontaneous dissemination. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hydrocephalus and myelopathy.

Misleading CT scans: a report of two cases.
Two patients who appeared to have suffered from intracranial haemorrhage are presented. Their clinical histories and computed tomographic scans were supportive of the diagnosis of intracranial haemorrhage. However, both patients were found to have infected cerebrospinal fluid.

Spontaneous infected pneumatocoele secondary to chronic otitis media.
A case of spontaneous temporal pneumatocoele secondarily infected by Haemophilus parainfluenzae is reported. Its relation to the lateral ventricle and to a defect in the tegmen tympani was confirmed by computerized tomography (CT). The possible aetiological mechanisms are discussed.
