    Notes: Abstract We examined 72 patients with 89 angiographically confirmed intracranial aneurysms, using transcranial colour-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) to determine the location and size of the aneurysm. The patients were admitted for coil embolisation of their aneurysm following subarachnoid haemorrhage or because of a cranial nerve palsy. Using a 2/2.25 MHz transducer, 42 aneurysms (47%) were seen satisfactorily through the temporal bone window or foramen magnum. In 24 cases (27%) image quality was insufficient as a result of a poor bone window, of the aneurysm having a diameter of less than 6 mm or of its being in an unfavourable location. In 23 other cases (26%) it was not possible to detect the aneurysm. Thrombosed structures could be demonstrated using TCCD in 8 of 12 giant intracavernous or basilar artery aneurysms, and in 15 of 19 aneurysms treated by platinum coil embolisation. TCCD offers a noninvasive method for monitoring progressive intra-aneurysmal thrombosis following coil embolisation and for follow-up of patients with untreatable fusiform aeurysms, should this be required. Detection of small aneurysms is limited by spatial resolution and insonation angles.

    Notes: Abstract. This is a report of clinical, CT and MRI findings in a patient with toxic spongiform leucoencephalopathy after heroin ingestion. The disease is observed in drug addicts who inhale pre-heated heroin. The clinical onset, which usually occurs some days or even longer after the last heroin consumption, is characterized by a cerebellar syndrome. The cerebellar hemispheres, the cerebellar and cerebral peduncles and the pyramidal tract may be affected. Spongiform demyelination is the morphological substrate of the lesions, which are not contrast enhancing, hypodense on CT and hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI. The frequently perfect symmetry of the affection of functional systems points to a toxic and/or metabolic pathophysiological mechanism.
