Brain abscess formation was studied experimentally in rats to determine the effect and the mechanism of hyaluronidase action in the treatment of brain abscess by applying different combinations of hyaluronidase, Myeobaeterium bovis (BCG), ascorbic acid and antibiotic sensitive to the inoculated bact...

Intratumoral local chemotherapy was applied as adjuvant treatment to 20 patient with recurrent types of anaplastic astrocytoma (AGH) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). A multiport catheter was implanted into the tumour and a portable ommaya reservoir was placed under the scalp over the open cranioto...

The present study aimed the biochemical relationships between human brain tumours and serum lipid peroxide, ascorbic acid and total iron levels. Tissue lipid peroxide levels in tumour tissue itself and in the surrounding tissue were also measured. Serum lipid peroxide levels were found to be signifi...

Eight operations were done on four formalinfixed cadavers to assess the technical feasibility of an approach which provide remove more than half of the clivus via extradural drilling out of the petrous apex. This approach also provides exposure of the mid and lower parts of the basilar artery, its b...

Chordomas are rare tumorus arising from notochord remnants. Most cases are encountered in adult life, but rare cases have been reported in childhood. In this report. a six-year-old boy with a chordoma in the craniovertebral junction presenting with isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy is reported.

A 10 year-old child presenting with subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to the rupture of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm and concomitant coarctation of the aorta followed up by periodic transcranial doppler is reported and literature on the subject is briefly reviewed.

Intracranial meningiomas rarely present extracranial manifestations. As new and more precise radiodiagnostic tools are designed. early diagnosed make such cases are extremely rare. We present a case with a large extracranial extension meningioma and typical radiological findings.

A patient harboring a distal posterior cerebral artery aneurysm is presented. The aneurysm located on the right calcarine artery was totally excised. So far only two cases with such a distal aneurysm of PCA have been published. This very rare anatomic site for an aneurysm and the related literature ...

Encapsulated intracerebral haematoma (EICH) is an interesting and rare entity. In this paper: a chronic encapsulated intracerebral haematoma without vascular malformation is reported, Although the clinical course and radiological appearances suggested a brain tumour histopathological examination dem...
