    Notes: Summary Two patients who developed what appeared to be a granulomatous reaction following muslin wrapping of undipped aneurysms are reported. They presented with cranial nerve palsies and at operation were found to have an abscess around the wrapped aneurysms. In one of these two patients Staphylococcus epidermidis was isolated from the pus. This, together with further evidence from reported cases in the literature, would suggest that infection may play an additional role at least in some cases in the onset of a foreign-body granulomatous reaction seen following wrapping of aneurysms.

    Notes: Summary We performed a randomised prospective double blind trial to study the effect of the calcium antagonist nimodipine on the outcome of head injured patients. The subjects were not obeying commands at the time of entry to the study, within 24 hours of injury. One hundred and seventy-five patients received nimodipine IV, 2 mg per hour for up to 7 days and 176 received placebo. The two groups were well matched for important prognostic features. Six months after injury 93 (53%) of the nimodipine group and 86 (49%) of the control group had a favourable outcome (moderate/good recovery). The relative increase in favourable outcomes (8%) was not significant but is compatible (95% C.I.) with an increase in favourable outcomes in treated patients by 33% or a decrease by 12%. Nimodipine was well tolerated and there were few adverse reactions; means of systolic and diastolic blood pressures and the intracranial pressure did not differ between the groups. It is unlikely that nimodipine has a marked effect on outcome (ie an increase in favourable outcome of 〉15%) after head injury of this severity but the study does not exclude a modest but clinically useful benefit.
