The effects of endothelin administered intravenously and intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) into the haematoma on arterial pressure, heart rate, other physiological parameters and intracerebroventricular haematoma were studied in the conscious rat. Control and intravenous (i.v.) endothelin-treated a...

Endothelial injury during microaterial anastomosis typically results in mural thrombus formation. However, endothelial cells produce various substances which suppress thrombus formation and maintain normal vascular wall architecture by pereventing muscular proliferation. Therefore, in order to reduc...

In this study end-to-end anastomoses were made in the left carotid arteries of 90 adult rats, in 45 of which the classical suture technique was used and in the remaining 45 the C02 laser technique. Anastomoses made with C02 laser and classical suture techniques were compared in the 1st, the 3rd, and...

The time course of angiogenesis and the status of the BBB within solid and cell suspension grafts of fetal CNS tissue following intracerebral transplantation is studied. Adult rats (n=40) received fetal forebrain tissue as either solid or cell suspension grafts to their corpus callosun bilaterally. ...

Diagnostic potential of dermatomally stimulated somatosensory evoked potentials (DSSEP) in radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniation is investigated. Normative data were estimated by statistical analysis of the values obtained by bilateral stimulation of the L4, L5 and S1 dermatomes of 28 healthy ...

Lipomas of the corpus callosum are rare congenital conditions. These lesions are often asymptomatic but may present as epilepsy, hemiplegia, dementia or headache. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging make the diagnosis of lipomas feasible at any site of the intracranial space, beca...

We report another case of upward shunt migration in a newborn boy suffering from hydrocephalus caused by aqueduct stenosis. Several hypothesis trying to explain this dysfunction are presented. Measures to prevent this complication are suggested.

A/21-year-old man presented with headache, left hemiparesis and hypertension. Xantochromic cerebrospinal fluid was obtained by lumbar puncture. Aortic coarctation and two aneurysms in the bifurcation of the left internal carotid artery and one in the bifurcation of the right internal carotid artery ...

Pseudomeningocele formation is a rare complication after lumbar disc surgery. In the present paper, we report a case of sympromatic postoperative lumbar pseudomeningocele diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and treated surgically.

A case is reported of large intracranial plasmacytoma arising from the dura mater and involving the dura of the left cerebral convexity, tentorium cerebelli and the dura of the posterior fossa in a 7year old girl is reported.
