Abstract

In the diagnosis of a temporal contusion bilater filling of the Sylvian vessels permits adequate comparison between the two sides. Such a comparison is important since even at a large contusion with marked upward or medial displacement of the Sylvian vessels no corresponding shift of the midline structure may exist in the acute stage. With increasing interval between trauma and angiography a shift may develop reflecting the true size of the lesion.

Angiographic findings of ischemic stroke in children.

A cooperative study was undertaken in the Tohoku district of Japan to investigate the relatively rare phenomenon of cerebral infarction in children. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the cerebral angiographic findings in 48 children whose ischemic lesions were confirmed by CT scan. The majority of lesions were considered to be idiopathic. The areas of cerebral infarction appearing in the CT scans were located in the territory of the middle cerebral artery including the basal ganglia. Angiographical abnormalities were observed in 40 patients (83%). The majority occurred in the supraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery and in the cisternal portion of the middle and anterior cerebral arteries. Multiple lesions, such as in the C1, A1, and M1 or the C1, M1, and M2 segments were observed in 22 cases. These lesions generally appeared in continuation; no bilateral intracranial lesions were observed. Repeated angiography was performed in 22 cases, and in 55% of these some recovery of the lesions was seen.

Surgical experiences with giant intracranial aneurysms.

The common method of presentation of intracranial aneurysms is at the time of their rupture (with subarachnoid haemorrhage) or on the occasion of their compression of neighbouring structures. While giant aneurysms may occasionally present with subarachnoid haemorrhage, their more common methods of presentation are due to their space occupying and neighbourhood effects. Giant aneurysms are commonly defined as those with a diameter larger than 2.5 cm. Previously this diameter was assessed either by arteriography, so that size meant internal diameter, or by the displacement of surrounding structures, as for example, small perforating vessels, which could be attributed positively to the presence of a larger mass. Before CT scanning however, the factor of a very considerable larger aneurysm, partly occluded by clot could occasionally cause unexpected operative difficulty. The advent of CT scan and now especially MR imaging has made the prediction of the size of the aneurysm much easier and the extent of the intra-aneurysmal clot also clearly definable. This paper describes one surgeon's experience with 64 giant cerebral aneurysms operated on in the last 10 years (Table 1). It has emerged from this experience that the most satisfactory method of handling the lesion is to remove the intra-aneurysmal clot and clip the neck of the aneurysm, and the steps necessary to secure this laudable design from the burden of the paper.

Interventional neuroradiology for the treatment of inaccessible arterio-venous malformations.

Embolization of cerebral arterio-venous malformations (AVM) has been performed at the Department of Neuroradiology of Verona in 136 patients with a total of 310 procedures. The complication rate was 16%. In most of the cases embolization was followed by either operative removal of the AVM or by radiosurgery. In a group of 38 embolized patients, who refused operation or radiosurgery, rebleeding occurred 7 times (18%), but only in patients who already had bleedings before embolization. Indications and techniques of embolization are described and discussed.
