Normal Relationship

Disharmony in the growth of the bones of the skull and brain, which is a consequence of a violation of the correlation of the endocrine glands, brain tumors, vascular nodes on the walls of the cerebral ventricles, and finally, a violation of the normal relationship between the blood pressure of the cranial fluid - all this can serve as the cause of increased intracranial pressure.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To explore the surgical treatment of cerebellar schistosomiasis. METHODS Twelve cases of cerebellar schistosomiasis treated in our department were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS All cases were cured. At the 2-year follow-up examination, all patients could perform physical tasks normally. CONCLUSION Cerebellar schistosomiasis tends to cause mass effect of the posterior cranial fossa and increased intracranial pressure. Microresection of the pathological focus and decompression of the posterior cranial fossa should be effective therapeutic measures.

Craniocerebral Injuries

In a considerable number of cases, many polytraumatized patients in a state of hemorrhagic shock, who require immediate surgical treatment, there is craniocerebral trauma. Ketamine is viewed, on one hand, as an appropriate induction anesthetic, due to its circulatory stimulating effect in treating shock victims, and, on the other hand, it is rejected for treating patients with craniocerebral injuries, because of the danger of possible increase in intracranial pressure (ICP). Therefore, we examined the effects of ketamine on ICP and calculated the cerebral perfusion pressure, using test animals in a state of hemorrhagic shock and a space occupying intracranial process.

✓ Six cases of bilateral hemorrhage into the vitreous body related to intracranial hypertension are presented. Four were associated with ruptured cerebral aneurysms, and the others followed head injury. The onset of vitreous hemorrhage was delayed in all cases, and in five patients subhyaloid hemorrhages were present from 2 to 27 days prior to their extension into the vitreous. Visual acuity was greatly reduced. The ophthalmoscopic and slit lamp appearance of the vitreous are described. The hemorrhages usually cleared spontaneously within 24 months, and vision returned to normal. Surgical treatment to remove residual vitreous blood in selected cases is outlined.

Background:Diencephalic tumours are usually presented with the sign and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, endocrinological changes and visual disturbances. Psychiatric manifestation of such rare tumours is not well known.Objective:To investigate the challenges and benefits of psychiatric evaluation on the diagnosis of diencephalic tumours and to emphasize the presence of psychosis as an initial phenomenon.Methods and results:Two cases who presented with the characteristic symptoms of psychosis and diagnosed diencephalic tumour are reported. A detailed radiological examination confirmed such diagnosis in both cases and surgical treatment was done.Conclusion:First, all patients who presented with a history of unexplained behaviour change must be evaluated by psychiatrists to exclude an organic pathology. Secondly, until the diagnosis of diencephalic tumour is confirmed, the surgical management must be performed.
