Seventy-two cases of acute non-traumatic myelopathy in which walking became impossible within one week after the onset of paralysis were investigated. Fifty-one cases (71%) consisted of mass lesions requiring surgery, such as metastatic spine tumors, hemangioma of spinal cord and hematoma within the spinal canal. Others were 6 cases of anterior spinal artery syndrome and 15 cases of undetermined diagnosis. Pain preceding paralysis or paralysis itself was the initial symptom in 64% of the spinal metastases. Severe pain followed by rapidly progressive paralysis was associated with the vascular lesions. Myelography was generally the most useful diagnostic tool of mass lesions and angiography was also useful in vascular lesions. Walking ability was recovered in 23 of 47 cases after spinal decompression. Postoperative recovery was especially marked when operation was done in the stage of incomplete paralysis. Locating the mass lesion and timely decompression were the most important approaches for handling these conditions.

Subperiosteal hemangioma (SPH), an exceptionally rare lesion, was diagnosed in a 68-year-old man. SPH is usually small and is most commonly located in the midshaft of a long tubular bone such as the tibia or fibula. A wide range of age groups is affected. SPH may present with mild pain or local swelling unassociated with trauma. Radiologically, it usually appears as a shallow cup-shaped depression surrounded by cortical thickening. Several other periosteal and intracortical lesions must be considered in the differential diagnosis, but the final diagnosis rests on microscopic evaluation. The treatment of SPH is marginal excision; local recurrences have not been reported after such treatment.

We report a case of sudoriparous angioma on the dorsum and plantar aspect of the left foot which increased in size on standing, and which was accompanied by sweating in the overlying epidermis and throbbing pain. The lesion regressed considerably following intravascular injection of 1% aethoxysclerol.

Hemangioendothelioma is seldom seen in adults. Its severe evolution is due, not so much to the exceptional transformation into hemangiosarcoma, but mainly to haemorrhagic complications by rupture or consumption coagulopathy and to severe cardiac insuffficiency secondary to arteriovenous shunts. The case reported here concerns a 64 year-old woman presenting pain in the left hypochondrium and splenomegaly. A splenectomy was performed and the histological findings were compatible with the diagnosis of hepato-splenoganglionic hemangioendothelioma. The evolution was unfavorable. The patient died a few months later in a picture of haemorrhagic syndrome and cardiac insufficiency. Histological findings on autopsy specimens indicated a cavernous hemangioma. The treatment of these diffuse hemangiomas is a difficult one. Hepatic artery ligation has been advocated in certain desperate situations. Nevertheless, because of a collateral circulation, recurrences are frequent.

Telangiectatic osteosarcoma, being a subtype of osteosarcoma, is rare. In this paper, one case is reported. The patient, a sixteen year old man, was admitted into our hospital in 1983 because of swelling and pain in the left knee for 3 months. On physical examination, a mass, 7 x 5 x 5 cm in size, was found in the distal end of the left thigh. A misdiagnosis of hemangioma of the bone was made by puncture biopsy before operation. After three months, the disease progressed and amputation had to be performed. The pathological diagnosis of telangiectatic osteosarcoma was established after operation. Finally, clinical and roentgenographic manifestations, histological and ultrastructural findings, biologic behavior, diagnosis and differential diagnosis are discussed. In particular, the differentiation from aneurysmal bony cyst and hemangioma of the bone is emphasized.

The authors have reviewed 100 cases of trigeminal neuralgia operated upon at the cerebello-pontine angle using microsurgical techniques, i.e. 20% of their total series of 513 patients with tic douloureux, 413 of them having been submitted to percutaneous R.F.--thermocoagulation. In 10 of the above 100 patients, a tumour or an angioma have been found and with its removal a total relief of pain has been obtained. In all but three of the other 90 patients, a neurovascular conflict has been revealed. In 17 of them a selective section of the trigeminal root had to be performed, as its cross-compression could not be eliminated. A total cure was achieved in all but three cases in which the result was only partial. In 70 patients a microvascular decompression (MVD) was performed and in 68 of them a follow-up of 1 to 5 years has been analyzed. In 82.4% the results were excellent. Further 7.3% thought to be benefited by the operation; although they still had some pain, they were well controlled by medical treatment. In 10.3% an unsatisfactory improvement, failure or recurrence were noted. Then a critical study of the whole material has been made in search for the causes of unsatisfactory results and for the possibilities of making the efficacity of MVD ascertained in a higher percentage of patients. The results of this study lead to definite conclusions, a part of which is quoted below: Some of clinical findings showed to be of paramount importance for the prognosis. The most evident has been a highly significant difference in the percentage of a total cure in patients with attacks of tic douloureux only (94.5%) and in those with the same type of attacks, but associated with permanent pain (58.3%). The analysis of the operative findings and of the details of the surgical procedure indicated to a necessity of restitution of the normal shape and course of the trigeminal root from the petrous ridge up to the entry-zone and of an adequate root protection (for instance with Dacron), after the Vth nerve had been detached from the conflicting vessel. A correlation of the above findings with the angiographic ones has been made. A measurable method has been used to make available data which could be informative as to the presence of a conflict, as well as to its anatomical cause. But this still needs a further critical elaboration.

Over the past 27 years cavernous hemangioma of the liver has been diagnosed in 12 nonoperated patients and in 16 patients who had resection of the lesion at Strong Memorial Hospital. In almost all patients the diagnosis was suggested by an imaging procedure. In the 12 nonoperated patients the average size of the tumor was 4.7 cm (range: 3-8 cm). No problems related to the tumor occurred during the follow-up period. The average size of the resected lesion was 10 cm (range: 4-32 cm). The usual indication for resection was pain, mass, or a combination of these manifestations. Five lobectomies, five left lateral segmentectomies, two trisegmentectomies, two segmentectomies, and two enucleations were performed. There were no postoperative deaths. Review of the literature indicates that although rapid growth of the lesion occurred during pregnancy in one patient, the effects of pregnancy or contraceptive drugs on growth are inconsistent. Spontaneous rupture occurs infrequently, and the potential for rupture should not constitute an indication for resection, which should be performed selectively. Intraoperative blood loss may be appreciable, but a mortality rate near 0% has been reported in all institutional series.

Haemangioma is an extremely rare tumour of the middle ear. A case of a 60-year old woman patient who complained of a hearing loss for about a year, is reported. Microotoscopy showed a blue pulsating mass behind the tympanic membrane. Angiographic and computer-tomographic investigations led to the suspicion of a glomus tympanicum tumour that was removed bitemporally. The histological preparation showed a capillary haemangioma. Only few cases have been reported in the literature of the last few decades. The symptoms may be loss of hearing, pulsating tinnitus, bleeding, pain and, in extreme cases, paralysis of cranial nerves. Besides treatment by surgery the therapeutic aim should be to preserve the function of the middle ear.

A 52-year-old man was referred to the department of neurosurgery of our hospital for evaluation of left occipital pain on September 27, 1982. Brain CT and arteriography showed midcerebellar tumor and an operation was performed on October 7, 1982. Histopathologically, the tumor was hemangioblastoma (solid type). His whole-body CT showed bilateral multiple renal tumors but no angioma retinae were found. Angiography revealed that the lesions were bilateral multiple (more than 20) renal tumors, bilateral adrenal tumors and left retroaortic renal vein. The patient underwent bilateral radical nephrectomy and lymphadenectomy on December 15, 1982. Renal cell carcinoma (grade II greater than III) with adrenal and left renal vein involvement were noted on the pathologic specimen. Postoperatively, he received supplement therapy with hydrocortisone and hemodialysis, but died of bleeding from the recurrent hemangioblastoma on July 7, 1983.
