[Diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties in a case of severe craniocerebral injury caused by an electric injury and a fall].

The authors describe a 37-year-old man suffering electric shock caused by high-voltage current 3 000 Volt. The shock caused a fall with severe craniocerebral injury with fracture of occipital squama and subacute epidural haematoma in the posterior cerebral fossa. The injury was associated with vascular disturbances of the brain and brain stem which caused difficulties in disclosing typical signs of epidural heaematoma. Good therapeutic effects were obtained not only by surgical intervention and also by intensive treatment with antioedematous agents and drugs improving cerebral circulation.

[Diagnosis of 3-level lumbar nucleus pulposus prolapse].

Clinical investigations and plain film of the spine are not sufficient for diagnosis of three-level lumbar nucleus pulposus prolapse. Contrast investigations, especially radiculography with television monitoring, are particularly suitable for demonstration of multiple prolapses. In a material of 730 cases two-level prolapse was found in about 12% of cases and three-level prolapse in about 0.5% of cases and this suggests that radiculography should be carried out routinely before each operation for lumbar nucleus pulposus prolapse.
