    Notes: Summary Proliferative angiopathy represents the morphological basis of delayed cerebral vasospasm. The initial vasoconstriction and endothelial damage of the vasospastic arteries leads to an exaggerated response of the smooth muscle cells within the media leading to subintimal thickening and myonecrosis. Heparin reduces the exposure of the media to platelet derived growth factor, a mitogen from aggregating platelets responsible for the migration and proliferation of the myofibroblasts. Since systemic heparin in the setting of a subarachnoid haemorrhage would be unacceptable, we have tested the effect of heparin on proliferative angiopathy by injecting autologous non-heparinized blood into two groups of rats (N=12 each) and then inject the heparin into the spinal fluid of one group after one hour. We were able to show histologically that intracisternal heparin injection after the subarachnoid haemorrhage has reduced the vascular wall changes to a great degree. Heparinization of the cerebrospinal fluid carried out in conjunction with early operation for aneurysms may be a promising approach to prevent the morbid complications of SAH in the clinical setting.

    Notes: Summary The clinical, radiological and surgical features of 14 patients who presented with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and had undergone surgical treatment during a three-year period are given with special reference to pre-operative evaluation by CT cisternography. The merits and demerits of this technique are discussed.

    Notes: Summary A case of epidermoid cyst in the cerebellopontine angle which appeared as a hyperdense mass on CT is presented with clinical and radiological features. The preoperative tentative diagnosis proved erroneous. The literature is reviewed on this exceptinally rare radiological finding of epidermoid cysts and highlights of preoperative diagnosis are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract There are few population-based studies of intracranial tumours in children. This study examines 93 brain tumours in children up to 18 months of age from over 800 childhood central nervous system tumours reported to the Manchester Children's Tumour Registry during the period 1953–1987. The incidence was 1 per 25 000 live births. Of these tumours, 85% were malignant. The three most common tumours were medulloblastoma, ependymoma and juvenile astrocytoma. Eighteen percent of the tumours were in the axial region. Twenty-five percent were connected to the ventricles. The tumour was supratentorial in two-thirds of the children under 6 months of age. A high incidence of tumours in the families of these children was found; tumours were noted in two sets of siblings.
