Abstract An 8-year-old boy presented in coma and was found to have a massive posterior fossa hemorrhage on computed tomographic scan. Autopsy disclosed a large cerebellar hematoma within a mixed glioma containing both juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma. It is postulated that the hemorrhage originated from the oligodendroglial component of the tumor.

Abstract A 17-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis presented with delayed puberty and epileptic seizures of recent onset. A computed tomographic scan revealed aqueductal stenosis due to a tumor of the aqueduct. This tumor was found at autopsy to be a pilocytic astrocytoma. Aqueductal stenosis in neurofibromatosis is uncommon and has been considered to be a result of periaqueductal gliosis. This seems to be the first report of neurofibromatosis associated with a tumor of the aqueduct.

Angiographic Findings

Abstract A patient with a completely thrombosed giant aneurysm arising from the trunk of the basilar artery is described. Although it is difficult to differentiate this anomaly from a posterior fossa tumor, negative angiographic findings combined with certain computed tomographic (CT) signs may point to the correct diagnosis. Our case demonstrates that one of these CT signs (viz. ringlike contrast enhancement) can be explained by the presence of vasa vasorum in the aneurysm wall

Abstract Gamma knife surgery employing a central dose of 70 Gy and a peripheral dose of 25 Gy caused progressive necrosis and shrinkage of a recurrent solitary metastasis of a cerebral hypernephroma, as verified by computed tomographic scan 2 and 4 months after treatment. Gamma knife surgery was an effective palliative treatment for this cerebral metastasis and was an alternative to craniotomy with microsurgical removal.

Multiple Nodules

We report the case of a 69-year-old man with acute pulmonary echinococcosis. A computed tomographic scan of the thorax revealed the presence of multiple nodules in both lungs, and laboratory tests showed eosinophilia and the presence of antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus. Therapy with albendazole led to resolution of the pulmonary nodules and a normalization of the white cell count. To our knowledge this is the first described case of acute echinococcosis, as the diagnosis of this disease is usually delayed to chronic phases. Therefore, finding unexplained eosinophilia, especially in association with pulmonary nodules, should lead one to suspect acute hydatid disease.

Abstract The authors have treated a 20-year-old man with a dorsal intramedullary epidermoid cyst in whom magnetic resonance imaging was performed both before evacuation of the cyst and 3 months later. Intraspinal epidermoid tumors are rare, and the intramedullary location is quite uncommon. To our knowledge, this is the first description of magnetic resonance imaging of an intramedullary epidermoid cyst. The frequency, possibilities, and limits of surgical treatment of such intraspinal benign tumors are reviewed.

Abstract We describe a patient presenting with adult onset seizures whose computed tomographic scan was highly suggestive of arachnoid cyst. The cyst was removed by craniotomy and was found to be a mucocele on histological examination. During operation, no connection to the frontal sinus had been found. The very unusual combination of findings and their clinical implications are discussed. (Neurosurgery 16:85–86, 1985)

Abstract We report a case of a traumatic aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery caused by an occipital fracture. The necessity to suspect a vascular traumatic lesion when an unusual subarachnoid hemorrhage is seen on the computed tomographic scan in a case of trauma is stressed.
