Lumbar spinal stenosis by postdiscectomy hyperostosis.

The mesenchymal repair process of the connective tissue in the surgical wound following lumbar laminectomy presents three aspects: postoperative epidural scar, heterotopic bone formation in the epidural scar and vertebral hyperostosis around laminectomy. Twelve cases of lumbar spine hyperostosis consecutive to laminectomy, confirmed by x-ray findings and surgery are presented. The main symptom at presentation was a recurrent sciatic neuritis. Lumbo-sacral spine films showed a "bright" focal condensation in the previous surgical. Lamina inferior and superior and the articular facets were hypertrophic. Surgery confirmed the hyperostosis and compressive lumbar spine stenosis or foramen stenosis.

[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.
