COLLOID CYSTS OF THE 3RD VENTRICLE

WOS: A1994NZ97200005PubMed ID: 7970018Since computerized tomography scanning became available at the Division of Neurosurgery in July, 1979, 13 patients have undergone removal of colloid cysts of the third ventricle by transfrontal or transcallosal routes. Computerized tomography has increased the number of colloid cysts detected in the foramen of Monro during neurological diagnostic workups. The clinical and diagnostic aspects and changing concepts in the treatment of colloid cysts are reviewed

GIANT FUSIFORM ANEURYSM OF THE VERTEBROBASILAR ARTERY PRESENTING WITH STROKE

WOS: A1995RN45300009PubMed ID: 7478017The authors describe a case of giant fusiform aneurysm of the basilar artery presenting with ischemic symptoms. Angiography and CT revealed vertebro-basilar fusiform aneurysmal dilatation. Fusiform vertebro-basilar aneurysm is associated with various complications particularly brain stem infarction. Similar lesions in the literature are reviewed and the relationship between this clinical entity andcerebral ischemia, particularly brainstem infarction are discussed

TRAUMATIC GIANT ANEURYSM OF THE INTRACAVERNOUS INTERNAL CAROTID-ARTERY CAUSING FATAL EPISTAXIS - CASE-REPORT

WOS: A1994NG22200018PubMed ID: 8158721A patient with a giant intracavernous carotid aneurysm usually has symptoms and signs of a space-occupying lesion, producing one of a variety of types of cavernous sinus syndromes. Epistaxis is an unusual feature in these patients. A patient who noted the onset of repeated arterial epistaxis 2 years after a severe head injury was found to have a traumatic aneurysm of the cavernous portion of internal carotid artery. After angiography, he suddenly developed profuse, pulsatile, arterial epistaxis and had a cardiopulmonary arrest. This case and a review of previously reported cases emphasize the importance of early cerebral angiography in patients with posttraumatic recurrent epistaxis
