    Notes: Summary  A comparison was made between factors influencing survival in patients operated on for acute spontaneous subdural hematomas (ASSH) and other groups of patients operated for acute, post-traumatic, subdural hematoma reported in the literature.  The data of 17 patients operated on for ASSH were collected. Four variables: early surgical treatment, high Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission, pupillary reactivity and age were statistically analyzed.  The most significant factors for good outcome, in order of importance, were early surgical treatment, a high Glasgow Come Scale score on admission, good pupillary reactivity and younger age.  The prognostic factors in non-traumatic and traumatic acute subdural hematomas were found to be identical.

    Notes: Summary This retrospective study focuses on 14 patients with ganglioglioma of the cerebral hemispheres who received surgical treatment in the Neurosciences Department/Neurosurgery of “La Sapienza” University of Rome between 1953 and 1990. The data are analyzed together with those on 98 published cases of ganglioglioma confined to the cerebral hemispheres. These tumours have no sex preference but a decided preference for the young (mean age 18 years). They are characterized by a history of epilepsy often of long standing and sometimes refractory to drugs. The most frequent site is the temporal lobe (61%). At operation the tumour proved to be solid in 52% of cases and the satellite cyst at the tumour wall in 48%. Removal was total in 65% of cases. Even after subtotal removal, the prognosis is good in terms both of survival and of seizure control. Radiotherapy seems to have no role in the treatment of these tumours.

    Notes: Abstract A “dural tail” on Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI has been often observed adjacent to meningiomas and considered to be useful in distinguishing meningioma of the cerebellopontine angle from acoustic neuroma. However, demonstration of a dural tail adjacent to an acoustic neuroma indicates that this sign is not specific.
