✓ The authors describe the case of a 69-year-old man with an intracerebral hemorrhage due to rupture of a nontraumatic aneurysm of the middle meningeal artery (MMA). The ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery (PCA) was occluded, and dural anastomoses developed as the main collateral pathway between the MMA and the cortical branch of the PCA, on which the aneurysm was located. It is considered that increased hemodynamic stress to the collateral pathway contributed to the formation of the aneurysm.

✓ A case is reported of successful anastomosis of the middle meningeal artery to a cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery. Based on the analyses of 50 random angiograms, the authors discuss the circumstances in which such an anastomosis might be practical and indicated.

✓ The authors present a case of refractory chronic subdural hematoma (CSH) in a 59-year-old man with coagulopathy due to liver cirrhosis. The patient was successfully treated by embolization of the middle meningeal artery after several drainage procedures. This new therapeutic approach to recurrent CSH is discussed.

✓ An operative technique for total removal of large global meningiomas at the medial aspect of the sphenoid ridge is described, and experience with 11 patients reported. The technique involves extradural liberation of the dural and tumor attachments to the underlying bone, and extradural occlusion of the blood supply through bone and middle meningeal artery. Subsequent procedures are carried out sequentially in the parasellar area to free the optic nerve and carotid, in the subtemporal tentorial region to release tumor from neighboring structures, and in the Sylvian fissure to isolate the middle cerebral artery.

✓ A patient is reported with a purely pial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) supplied from the posterior parietal artery. The prominent middle meningeal artery contributed to opacification of the angular branches distal to the AVM, but did not contribute to the AVM. After total removal of the AVM, the angular branches became opacified from the middle cerebral artery. Review of the literature suggests that hypertrophied dural arteries which do not contribute to the AVM's but which do opacify the cortical branches distal to the AVM's are rare.

✓ The problems in interpretation of emergency cerebral arteriograms are discussed with relation to the apparent displacement of “landmark” vessels that is actually produced by rotation or by the type of anteroposterior projection of the vessels, rather than by mass lesions. Anterior cerebral artery, middle meningeal artery, and pineal displacements are reviewed, along with possible pitfalls of diagnosis and attempts at correction. Utilization of dried skulls afforded depth visualization of middle meningeal artery grooves as well as the radiographic projection. The most reliable region on each different type of anteroposterior projection is discussed with regard to the emergency situation where repeat angiographic detections or special views may not be possible.

✓ Extravasation of contrast material during angiography in a head-injured patient was shown at operation to have occurred because of a fistula between a lacerated meningeal artery and the diploic spaces within the skull. Usually such extravasation is regarded as diagnostic evidence of an epidural or subdural hematoma, as had been suggested erroneously by the angiogram in this case.

✓ A case of traumatic exophthalmos due to an arteriovenous fistula between the middle meningeal artery and the veins at the base of the skull is reported. There was no involvement of the cavernous sinus. Embolization following selective transfemoral catheterization of the external carotid artery resulted in complete relief of the symptoms.
