摘要:

The several theories on the pathogenesis of syringomyelia have not resulted in the satisfactory selection of those patients who can be treated by CSF diversion.In the present paper three types of syringomyelia are described by case studies. The classification is made by investigation of CSF-dynamics, a measurement of CSF pressure and resistance to outflow of CSF. It is proposed that in a subgroup of patients with syringomyelia the cause is defective CSF resorption and that this group may be selected out and treated accordingly.

摘要:

Syringomyelia is known to occur secondary to compression of the spinal cord. We report the case of a female patient who underwent removal of a spinal meningioma. She re-presented 30 years later with multiple meningiomas causing cord compression. After a 4 year interval she was found to have developed a syrinx proximal to the site of compression. Comparison with previous case reports suggest that the causation of syringomyelia is multi-factorial.

摘要:

We report the case of a 58-year old man who bled into an undiagnosed acoustic neuroma while on long-term anticoagulation therapy which was commenced following aortic valve replacement. The patient presented with multiple cranial nerve paralysis of sudden onset. The tumour was subtotally removed but he died 5 days postoperatively from recurrent haemorrhage into the tumour bed.

摘要:

A case of multiple primary cerebral lymphoma presenting with bitemporal hemianopsia due to a large suprasellar lesion is described; the visual symptoms improved after corticosteroid treatment. Involvement of the optic pathways is very unusual in primary central nervous system lymphomas; the visual symptoms can be due to lymphomatous uveitis or to infiltration of the optic nerves by leptomeningeal lymphoma, whereas bitemporal hemianopsia due to chiasmal compression has not been reported as first symptom of a cerebral lymphoma. The CT finding of multiple hyperdense well-enhanced lesions and their symmetrical distribution in the basal ganglia and frontal horns suggest the diagnosis of lymphoma. Improvement of neurological deficits during corticosteroid treatment is another feature typical of cerebral lymphomas.

摘要:

An astrocytoma of the thoracic spinal cord in a 9-year-old boy was treated by partial tumour removal and postoperative radiotherapy. The development of intracranial spread causing cranial nerve signs and diabetes insipidus was detectable only by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The spread of these tumours and difficulties in diagnosis are discussed together with a review of the current literature.

摘要:

A patient presented with symptoms from a tumour in the frontal region. Syphilis had been treated 15 years earlier but the serological tests were inconclusive on this admission. The CT-scan showed oedema surrounding a contrast enhancing tumour. Angiography showed displaced but otherwise normal vessels. Histologically the lesion proved to be a gumma.
