    Notes: Abstract Our aim was to elucidate the factors which determine the MRI signal intensities of pituitary adenomas. We examined 51 patients with surgically-confirmed pituitary adenomas. Using a spin-echo pulse sequence (SE 500/15), coronal and sagittal images (3 mm slices) were obtained. Signal intensities on T1-weighted images were measured in the parenchyma of the adenoma and in normal grey matter. The relative intensity of the adenoma was assessed by calculating the ratio of its signal intensity to that of the normal grey matter of the same patient. Parafin-embedded sections were used for haematoxylin and eosin staining. The number of cells in a prescribed area was counted, and the mean of five such counts was taken as the cell density. Immunohistochemically stained sections using antibodies for various pituitary hormones were similarly examined; the ratio of the total number of hormone-positive cells to the overall total number of adenoma cells was calculated. Four independent variables were used in the analysis: the age of the patient, the maximum diameter of the adenoma, the cell density and the proportion of hormone-positive cells in the adenoma and, with the signal intensity ratio as the dependent variable, a multiple regression analysis was performed. This revealed that the the greatest influence upon the signal intensities on T1-weighted images was the proportion of hormone positive cells.

    Notes: Summary An immunohistochemical study was made of ten cases of asymptomatic and three cases of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst. The cysts in the asymptomatic cases had monolayer columnar or cuboidal epithelium. Within the epithelium, cells which were positive for at least one of the pituitary hormones were found. The rate of positive reactions for these six pituitary hormones was between 70% and 100%. In contrast, the cysts in the symptomatic cases had an epithelium which was partly stratified squamous and partly squamous epithelium, and none of the pituitary hormones were found in them. Therefore, when a Rathke's cleft cyst enlarges to the extent that clinical symptoms are produced, we consider that changes have already occurred in structure and function of the cyst epithelium. In addition, we believe there is a tendency for monolayer epithelia to undergo squamous metaplasia and for cells which are positive for pituitary hormones to change into non-granulated cells.

    Notes: Summary A case of multiple large Rathke's cleft cyst within a pituitary adenoma presenting with acromegaly is reported. Rathke's cleft cyst within a pituitary adenoma is rare condition, and this is the first report of such a case presenting with acromegaly. An electron microscopic and an immunohistochemical analysis proved that the cyst within the pituitary adenoma of this case differs from cysts found in the embryonic stage of the pituitary gland.

    Notes: Summary The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a known potent intrinsic cerebral vasodilator, is contained in the sensory nerves from trigeminal ganglia that inervate the cerebral arteries. We previously reported that human α CGRP (hCGRP) dilates spastic cerebral arteries after experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits. In the present study, we investigated the prophylactic potential of a sustained higher cerebrospinal fluid level ofhCGRP against experimental cerebral vasospasm. AnhCGRP slow-release tablet (hCGRP s-r tablet) was developed for cisternal implantation. Experimental SAH was induced by percutaneous cisternal injection of autologous arterial blood. Angiography was initiated on day 1 (before SAH) and performed everyday. ThehCGRP s-r tablet was implanted into the cisterna magna on day 2 in the treated groups. The spastic response of the basilar artery was maximized on day 4 in the non-treated (80.7% of day 1) and the placebo-treated (79.3%) groups. In contrast, the arterial diameters on day 4 were 96.1% and 90.5% of day 1 in the groups implanted withhCGRP 24 μg and 153 μg s-r tablets, respectively. We also measured the concentration ofhCGRP in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) following implantation of thehCGRP 24 μg s-r tablet in the cisterna magna. The hCGRP concentration before implantation was below the dectable level. Following implantation, thehCGRP level in the CSF was 23.12 nmol/L on the second day and remained at elevated levels until the fifth day. These experiments suggest that the intrathecal single implantation of thehCGRP s-r tablet could produce an elevated concentration ofhCGRP in the CSF over five days and have prevented the cerebral vasospasm after SAH in the rabbit. ThehCGRP s-r tablet may be clinically applicable in the treatment of patients with SAH against cerebral vasospasm.

    Notes: Summary This report describes our retrospective evaluation of CT features of the acute phase in 34 cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms of the posterior cranial fossa. The results are as follows. 1. Examination of cisternal haematoma distribution revealed that SAH had extended to the supra- and infratentorial cisterns in 28 cases (82%). There were only 6 cases (18%) in which SAH was confined to the posterior cranial fossa only but even when there was subarachnoid haematoma in both the supra- and infratentorial cisterns, thick haematomas were seen at the periphery of the brain stem. In cases of vertebral artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms (VA-PICA AN), haematomas in the ambient cistern were thicker on the aneurysm side. In addition, in cases of basilar arterybifurcation (BA-Bifurcation AN) and basilar artery-superior cerebelli artery aneurysms (BA-SCA AN), there were many thick, highdensity haematomas in the interpeduncular cistern. 2. The rate of intracerebral haemorrhage was extremely low (1 patient). 3. The rate of intraventricular haemorrhage was high, and these haemorrhages demonstrated a reflux pattern. 4. The rate of hydrocephalus was high (76.5%) in comparison with that noted in association with SAH due to the rupture of anterior circulation aneurysms.

    Notes: Summary The authors report their experience with the surgical treatment of carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms in 29 cases, and describe their surgical technique. The technique can be summarized as follows. When dissecting the aneurysm, temporary vascular occlusion of the common carotid artery and external carotid artery is done in the neck under the administration of cerebral protective substances. Through a bifrontal craniotomy, wide dissection of the Sylvian fissures and the interhemispheric fissure is performed. When necessary, the anterior clinoid process and the roof of the optic canal are removed. This approach allows for observation of the neck of the aneurysm from various angles, thus facilitating clipping of the neck. There have been no previous reports of direct surgery on carotidophthalmic aneurysms using an interhemispheric approach, but this approach provides a much larger operative field and a better exposure of the aneurysm than other surgical approaches.

    Notes: Summary A case of repeated subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) caused by rupture of a dissecting intracranial vertebral aneurysm is reported. The clinical manifestations, angiographic findings, pre-operative assessment with neurophysiological monitoring, and surgery are presented. A review of the literature suggests that this type of intracranial aneurysm is being recognized with increasing frequency in SAH and fatality, and therefore exploration and treatment of vertebrobasilar (V-B) dissecting aneurysms is necessary. We emphasize that a balloon Matas test with monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), auditory brain stem responses (ABR), and its wedge pressure in occluding the vertebral artery before operation are objective assessments of treatment for dissecting intracranial vertebral aneurysm.
