Traumatic intracerebral haematoma: complication of skull caliper traction. Case report.

Recently, a unique case of traumatic intracerebral haematoma complicating the insertion of skull calipers, has been observed. It is assumed it was due to: 1. the accidental penetration of the burr into the skull, while making the insertion hole for the caliper; 1. the failure to grip the skull with the special metal sleeve, the Blackburn skull caliper is provided with, so that the end plates were free to move in and out of the skull in this restless patient. The correct diagnosis was made only after severe uncal herniation had developed. The reasons for missing the correct diagnosis within useful time for proper treatment are considered to be: 1. carotid angiography performed too early in the process of haematoma formation: 2. the vascular displacements were only slight and not fully diagnostic; 3. a recognized complication, extradural haematoma, had already been excluded.

Orbital phlebography and cavernography in intra-cranial lesions.

Orbital phlebography has gained increasing importance in the evaluation of otologic and intracranial pathology. The practical use of this method in vascular and neoplastic lesions in the middle cranial fossa, as well as its probable value in cerebello-pontine angle tumours is reported.

Frontal extradural hematomas.

In a series of 1841 severe head injuries, 97 cases of epidural hematomas were observed. Among these there were 13 in the frontal area, i.e. 13.4%. The nine cases of frontal extradural hematomas not previously reported are described. Five of them had "pure" extradural frontal clots. In four cases the epidural hematoma was associated with intradural lesions. The "pure" frontal epidural cases presented a subacute to chronic course of a benign character. All of these patients survived and made a complete recovery after operation. A malignant, stormy and fatal course was observed in the "mixed" cases.
