Epilessia temporale post-traumatica: studio corticografico ed ultrastrutturale di un caso. [Temporal post-traumatic epilepsy: corticographic and ultrastructural study of a case]
A case of post-traumatic temporal epilepsy, submitted to a temporal lobectomy, is reported. During surgery, electrocorticography was carried out in order to differentiate epileptic areas from normal tissue. The ultrastructural study of nervous tissue removed from both normal and epileptogenic areas showed diffuse and aspecific process of neuronal alterations without a correlation to the electrographic epileptic areas. The importance of trauma in the evolution of these alterations is discussed
Cerebral aneurysm and acromegaly: a case report
Few cases are reported concerning the association between cerebral aneurysms and acromegaly, and this is the first case report documenting an increase in diameter of a cerebral aneurysm in persistent acromegaly. Persistently elevated GH plasma levels might promote an increase in diameter of cerebral aneurysms. An accurate follow-up in acromegalic patients is important, especially concerning the cerebrovascular system. Establishing the effectiveness and usefulness of this strategy will require future prospective studies
