✓ A case of brain-stem hemangioma calcificans is described. The few cases reported in the literature prove the rarity of this tumor, which is considered a benign variant of cerebral cavernous hemangioma. Diagnosis and treatment of these tumors are briefly discussed with a review of the literature including 11 previous cases.

✓ Two patients admitted as cerebral trauma cases following single-car automobile accidents were found to have previously-unsuspected, surgically-treatable neurological diseases that undoubtedly caused the accidents. A left posterior communicating artery aneurysm was clipped in one patient and a right frontal lobe abscess aspirated in the other, with excellent results in both patients.

✓ The authors present a case in which primary Ewing's sarcoma of the right petrous pyramid in a 9-year-old girl showed no uptake on a 99mTc-pertechnetate nuclide angiogram. Intense uptake was present on a 99mTc-polyphosphate bone scan, but a static brain scan was only minimally abnormal. The diagnosis and treatment of Ewing's sarcoma are reviewed.

Fine Print

✓ Six cases of symptomatic spinal arachnoid cysts are presented. All lesions but one were intradural. Although these cysts are frequently indistinguishable clinically from spinal cord tumors, their correct early diagnosis by myelography and treatment by excision or marsupialization gives gratifying results. The authors emphasize that precise diagnosis and definitive treatment are sometimes delayed because of intermittent symptoms.

✓ Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is of uncertain etiology and poses problems with diagnosis and treatment. A case with involvement of the right temporal lobe, but associated with cystoid macular edema of the retina, is described. The unusual mode of presentation, the radiographic, operative, and pathological findings, the response to surgery and radiotherapy, and the possible etiology are discussed.

✓ The authors present a detailed anatomical and neuroradiological study of the veins draining the pineal body proper, which they designate “pineal veins.” They describe three variations of the pineal veins. Since each has a characteristic angiographic relationship to the pineal body, the results of the study may permit early diagnosis of a pinealoma and distinguish the nature of the tumors of the posterior third ventricle.
