Background Transorbital intracranial penetrating injury is rare. Damage caused by a huge metallic foreign body is very critical and life-threatening. Method We report an extremely rare case of transorbital intracranial penetrating metal strip (a car windshield wiper), which has not previously been reported in the literature. Results Emergency craniotomy was performed; the object was removed successfully, and the patient's life was saved. Conclusion With the life-threatening penetrating brain injury caused by a huge foreign body, prompt surgical treatment and comprehensive postoperative treatment are important to save patients' lives.

<p><strong>Objective</strong>. The aim of this report was to describe the occurrence of a bacterial brain abscess in a healthy individual, without any predisposing condition. <strong>Case report</strong>. A thirteen-year old boy was admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery after the onset of vomiting, headache and dizziness. A neurological deficit was detected during the physical examination so urgent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was performed, revealing an intrahemispheric, right positioned solitary expansive mass with ring enhancement. Purulent material was obtained during osteoplastic craniotomy with total extirpation of the brain abscess. Aggregatibacter aphrophilus and Bacteroides uniformis were isolated. The patient’s general condition improved and the neurological deficit subsided as a result of the prompt recognition and treatment of this life threatening condition. <strong>Conclusion</strong>. To achieve a favourable clinical outcome, prompt recognition and surgical treatment of a brain abscess are of primary importance,followed by administration of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of this combination of microorganisms as the cause of a brain abscess.</p>

Background. Arterial aneurysm in children is rare. Aim. To present the description of case series of successful surgical treatment of upper limb aneurysms in children. The case series included 2 boys and 3 girls, with median age 3.3 years. One of them was a newborn with a true brachial artery aneurysm. Aneurysms were in the brachial (n = 3) and radial (n = 2) arteries. Two patients had idiopathic aneurysms. Two cases were associated with connective tissue dysplasia syndrome. One patient had a history of trauma. In 4 of 5 cases, there was a true aneurysm and in one a pseudoaneurysm. Diagnosis was carried out in all cases by using ultrasound, with arteriography in one case. All 5 children were operated on. Resection of the aneurysm and restoration of arterial patency was performed in 4 of 5 cases (ligation of the radial artery near the aneurysm in 1 case, aneurysm resection with end-to-end anastomosis in 1 case, resection with PTFE graft implantation in 1 case, and resection with implantation of an autovenous graft in 2 cases. Complications. Dysfunction and thrombosis of the PTFE graft required reoperation using an autovenous graft. Conclusion. Despite the rarity of the disease, timely and adequate surgical treatment of aneurysms of the arteries of the upper extremities in children is possible successfully in a specialized hospital.

✓ Seventeen myelodysplastic patients with progressive extremity spasticity and scoliosis underwent radiological evaluation and surgical treatment. All but one were under 18 years of age at the time of surgical treatment. Duration of the clinical presentation ranged from 1½ to 7 years. Metrizamide was instilled into the subarachnoid space in 12 patients, the lateral ventricle in two, and the hydromyelic cavity in three. Sequential computerized tomography scanning after intrathecal instillation of the contrast material clearly demonstrated hydromyelia in nine patients and compression of the brain stem in five. Posterior fossa decompression with plugging of the obex was performed in 12 patients, posterior fossa decompression alone in three, and ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting procedures in two. Of the 12 patients who underwent the obex plugging procedures, eight have shown partial or complete resolution of spasticity and an increase in motor strength with no significant postoperative complications. In contrast, posterior fossa decompression or VP shunting procedures alone have not led to a favorable neurological outcome. Hydromyelia may occur more commonly among myelodysplastic patients than previously recognized and may be treated most effectively by the obex plugging procedure.
