  Case Reports

  Extradural tumor causing spinal cord compression in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.

  Myelopathy in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is uncommon but has been reported secondary to spinal vascular malformations. ⋯ This association has not been reported previously but is consistent with the segmental vascular abnormalities observed in Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome.

  Diagnostic significance of serum neuron-specific enolase and myelin basic protein assay in patients with acute head injury.

  Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and myelin basic protein (MBP) in the peripheral venous blood (PVB) have been reported to be sensitive markers for judging the prognosis of patients with head injury. However, to our knowledge, the levels of NSE and MBP in the internal jugular venous blood (IJVB) have never been studied. ⋯ The assay of serum NSE and MBP levels provides a reliable laboratory indicator of the degree of brain damage and allows early prediction of the prognosis in patients with acute head injury.

  Intracerebral hematoma in patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms.

  Intracerebral hematoma from ruptured aneurysms is one of the unfavorable factors for outcome in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this study, the clinical characteristics of intracerebral hematoma in patients with ruptured aneurysms were examined. ⋯ There was a close correlation between the site of hematoma and that of the ruptured aneurysm. Poor outcome in patients with intracerebral hematoma seems to be related to severity of clinical grade on admission.
