I tumori del sistema nervoso centrale indotti da radiazioni ionizzanti .Up-to-date sulla patologia e presentazione di un caso
No full textIonizing radiation-induced neoplasias are frequenly described in literature but only 100 cases about interested the central nervous system. The Authors add a possible personal observation and line the main features of this associatio
[Heart disorders secondary to cerebral ischemic infarct. A clinical study of 20 patients and diagnostico-therapeutic considerations].
No full textThe role of heart disorders in the onset of stroke has been examined in depth, but scarce attention has been paid to the relationship between cerebral ischemic stroke and subsequent heart disorders. The paper reports the results of a study of this relationship. The present state of knowledge is outlined together with the possible risk factors which might be useful in constructing a suitable therapeutic-prophylactic protocol to reduce the cardiological risks of "acute" neurosurgical treatment
L'idatidosi vertebrale:stato delle attuali conoscenze della lesione e presentazione di un caso clinico particolare
No full textVertebral hydatidosis is a rare localization of echinococcosis. In fact, its incidence is less than 1% of the cases in the literature. The authors report a personal observation and describe main features of the disease
Differential diagnosis of multiple gliomas, multicentric gliomas and the other main endocranial multifocal lesions. Presentation of a case
No full textMultifocal gliomas represent an uncommon lesion, particularly if the supra-tentorial and infra-tentorial spaces are involved. The Authors describe a particular case and they outline the main differences between multiple gliomas and multicentric gliomas. Then, they consider the various possibilities of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of multiple endocranial lesions
Tumors of the central nervous system induced by ionizing radiation. Update on their pathology and presentation of a case
No full textIonizing radiation-induced neoplasias are frequently described in literature but only 100 case about interested the central nervous system. The authors add a possible personal observation and line the main features of this association
Electrocardiographic changes in subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to cerebral aneurysm. Report of 70 cases.
No full textElectrocardiographic (ECG) alterations in the course of sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have frequently been reported. The most frequent anomalies reported were lengthening of the QT interval, very negative or positive deep T waves, elevation or depression of the ST segment and the presence of U waves. We report 70 cases of SAH secondary to rupture of intracranial aneurysm (part of a larger group of 150) with ECG changes. We review the literature with particular regard to discussion of the possible pathogenesis of ECG changes and to the way they may affect the general clinical course
A Report on Radiation-Induced Glioma
No full textRadiation-induced gliomas are uncommon, with only 73 cases on record to date.
The disease that most frequently occasioned radiation therapy has been acute lyrnphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Three more cases are added here, two after irradiation for ALL and one after irradiation for tinea capitis. In a review of the relevant literature, the authors stress the possibility that the ALL-glioma and the retinoblastoma-glioma links point to syndromes in their own right that may occur
without radiation therapy
Single brain metastases from breast cancer: remarks on clinical pattern and treatment.
No full textThirty-four breast cancer patients with single brain metastases were reviewed: 9 underwent surgical removal only and 25 surgical removal and radiotherapy. A longer survival was seen in patients who underwent surgical removal and radiotherapy, with a mean survival of 28 months. In the 9 patients who did not receive whole brain radiotherapy, the mean survival was 15 months and there was an higher frequency of brain relapse
