Authors refer about the pathogenesis, the clinical and therapeutical problems, concerning two patients affected by mycotic intracranial aneurysms. They describe the anamnestical data of M.I.A., the clinic, the diagnostical and therapeutical measures in use.
A case of intrasacral meningocele associated to L4-L5 discal rupture is described. The possibility for this kind of malformation to be asymptomatic is emphasized.
Aneurysms of the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery are quite rare lesions. The case of a 60-year-old man who showed recurrent spontaneous otorrhagia caused by a petrous carotid aneurysm of considerable size is reported here. Mycotic origin of the lesion is presumed. Common carotid ligation was effective in resolving bleeding and did not cause any permanent neurological deficit. Other surgical procedures are acceptable.
