A rare case is reported in which a symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst was studied by light and electron microscopy and tissue culture. The findings are compared with those of a craniopharyngioma studied in the same way. The patient was a 26-year-old woman presenting with headache, chiasmatic syndrome, and hypopituitarism. A cyst containing a mural nodule was partially removed and an Ommaya reservoir placed in the operative site for further treatment. The cyst wall was composed of connective tissue and three kinds of epithelial cells: non-ciliated squamous, ciliated columnar, and mucous-secreting cells. The morphology of these cells in vitro was similar to prickle cells seen in craniopharyngioma and the epidermis. It is concluded that both Rathke's left cyst and craniopharyngioma originate in remnants of Rathke's pouch, but at times may show some histological differences.

Since October 1967 we have performed 76 microsurgical STA--cortical MCA bypass operations. Recently we have had two cases, who died from intracerebellar hematoma following bypass operation. Intracerebellar hematoma is reported primarily due to hypertension (50-80%), and to comprise 10% of all spontaneous intracranial hematomas. Diagnosis of this lesion is frequently missed but can be made by the typical clinical picture (respiratory irregularity, pinpoint pupils, absence of oculovestibular responses, loss of consciousness), and the CT-Scan. If the correct diagnosis is made and operation promptly performed, many patients with subacute or acute intracerebellar hematoma can be saved. The 2 cases presented here had a history of hypertension and anticoagulation (including Colfarit), but had sustained the bypass operation well and showed no neurological deficit immediately after the operation. They had received Rheomacrodex intra- and postoperatively. Quite soon postoperatively, however, the systolic blood pressure rose to 210 mmHg and the patients complained of severe headache. They were treated symptomatically with analgesics and antihypertensive drugs. A short time later they became comatose and died. In order to prevent this complication after bypass surgery, postoperative management of hypertension is mandatory. The combination of antithrombic agents, Colfarit and Rheomacrodox, might have played a role in inducing the hemorrhages. Furthermore strong analgesics should be withheld to prevent their masking neurological deterioration. Intracerebellar hematoma must always be considered in hypertensive or anticoagulated patients, especially because it can be cured with prompt diagnosis and operative treatment.

A woman, born in 1923, suffered since menarche of pain of the vertebra and has had a headache during menstrual periods. 1963 she developed a transverse lesion of the cord with an incomplete paraplegia because of an endometriosis externa of spinal canal. After a 12 years symptomless interval, she complained again of a transverse lesion. Histological examination disclosed an endometrioid carcinoma with infiltration of vertebral bodies. The rare occurrence of malignant transformation in endometriotic tissue is pointed out.
