Zimmerman Radiology Department Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, School of Medicine Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA Department of Radiology Scripps Memorial Hospital 9888 Genesse Avenue 92037 La Jolla CA USA Summary A knowledge of the normal anatomy and anatomic relationships of the carotid and vertebral arteries, as well as the biomechanics by which traumatic injury occurs to these vessels, is important both in the interpretation of diagnostic arteriograms and in the clinical assessment of the injured patient.
Observation on peritumoural oedema in meningiomaStevens, J.; Ruiz, J.; Kendall, B.

234 25 25 2 2 J. M. Stevens J. S. Ruiz B. E. Kendall National Hospital for Nervous Diseases Queen Square London England, UK Summary The distribution of oedema detected by computed tomography in 46% of 160 patients with cerebral meningiomas was studied. Oedema occurred most frequently in the centrum semiovale and deep white matter around the ventricular trigones and frontal horns, the distribution reflecting mainly the size of the interstitial spaces adjacent to the tumour. Other theoretically relevant factors such as hydrocephalus and cerebral atrophy did not influence oedema distribution. Cyst like spaces of various types were observed in 20% and their aetiology is discussed. Oedema usually resolved after surgery, but in at least 13% it persisted after 3 months. Atrophy related to tumour size and not to presence or extent of oedema. Increased oedema after surgery was never of vasogenic type and could nearly always be ascribed to a definable complication.

234 25 25 2 2 Inge M. Anke Department of Radiology University Hospital of Tromsoe Tromsoe Norway Roentgenavdelingen Regionsykehuset N-9012 Tromsø Norway Summary Cisternography of the cerebello-pontine angle was performed with metrizamide using pluridirectional motion tomography on the Polytome. Lateral puncture between C1-C2 with a low pressure technique was used with the patient in lateral decubitus position. In a series of 20 patients all examinations were conclusive and small acoustic neuromas were seen in three patients. The investigation is easy to perform and sufficient contrast-mediumfilling of the cerebello-pontine cistern and the internal auditory canal was obtained with 2ml metrizamide (300 mg I/ml).

234 25 25 2 2 E. Teasdale P. Macpherson Department of Neuroradiology, Institute of Neurological Sciences Southern General Hospital Glasgow Scotland, UK Summary After cervical myelography by direct puncture at C 1/2 level, 120 patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups, in one the patients were allowed to be fully ambulant and in the other the regimen was bed rest for 24h. Questionnaires recording the frequency and severity of side effects were completed at intervals after the examination. Headache, nausea and vomiting were common; fits and mental changes occurred also but were uncommon. The incidence and severity of these side effects did not differ significantly between the two groups.
Neuroradiology of primitive neuroectodermal tumorsHinshaw, D.; Ashwal, S.; Thompson, J.; Hasso, A.

Hasso Department of Radiation Science, Section of Neuroradiology Loma Linda University School of Medicine Loma Linda California USA Department of Pediatrics, Division of Child Neurology Loma Linda University School of Medicine Loma Linda California USA Summary The neuroradiological findings in four cases of primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the cerebrum are described. These highly malignant neoplasms of childhood present as large, enhancing cerebral masses with extensive neovascularity. Cerebrospinal fluid seeding is common and distant extraneural metastases may occur.
Hamartomas of the tuber cinereumDiebler, C.; Ponsot, G.

234 25 25 2 2 C. Diebler G. Ponsot Department of Neuroradiology Hôpital Foch Suresnes France Department of Neuropaediatrics Hôpital Saint Vincent de Paul Paris France Summary The hamartoma of the tuber cinereum, a midline dysraphic syndrome, corresponds to a mass of normal neuronal tissue implanted in the area of the mamillary bodies. It has no evolutionary potential, but association to other cerebral malformations has been observed. On the basis of 18 personal cases and a review of the literature, the authors evaluate the actual diagnostic criteria and the incidence of different clinical signs such as precocious isosexual puberty, seizures, and mental impairment.
Computed tomography demonstration of a hypothalamic metastasisChakeres, D.

Chakeres Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Hanover New Hampshire USA Neuroradiology Section Department of Radiology University of Texas HSC at San Antonio 7703 Floyd Curl Drive 78284 San Antonio TX USA Summary This case report describes a patient who presented with panhypopituitarism secondary to hypothalamic metastasis. A primary hypothalamic abnormality was suggested by computed tomographic (CT) demonstration of a small enhancing circular mass centered within the hypothalamus. Sellar radiographs and cerebral angiography were normal.
