Pineal gland is structured by special morphology of neural cells. The tumor originates from the gland or its surrounding tissnes therefore these tumors have histologically different origins. They are in deep location with narrow path inward. Pineal tumor has not specific symptoms and usually diagnosed lately. The removal surgery comfuses of 2 stages - first: brain ventricular-abdomen drainage, second: tumor removal within 2-3 weeks after the first stage. There are 5 methods to approach the tumor, with own advantages and short comings

Objectives: Introduction of the operative technique, creteria of indication for the operation and results. Subjects: 75 patients in 2000 (male: 56; female: 19) The results: the cerebral haemorrhage due to cerebro-vascular accident sometimes were intervented by surgery (specific indication) which helped improving the internal treatment. The procedure of operation involved the drilling the skull and aspiration of the blood. The creteria for surgery by experiences of 100 operations were no limitation of age, Glasgow score: 6; diameter of the blood aggregation : 2 cm. Position of the blood aggregation: any position excluding the cerebral stem. The internal treatment was continued and rehabitation (if having paralysis).

A study on 65 patients with the blood aggregation in brain due to the cerebrovascular accident operated in Saint-Paul hospital during 1999-10/2000 (male: 48, female: 17, youngest: 17, eldest: 74) has shown that the cause of disease: hypertension (65%), the position of blood aggregation: temporal area: 37; frontal area: 15; occipital area: 10; behind hollow: 2 ventricle of cerebrum: 1; the blood aggregation focus runs in to the ventricle of cerebrum: 21/65. There is no different between the right and left of hemisphere, 33,84% patients were indicated the emergency operation and 56,92% patients operated after accident 5 -15 days.

The cerebral-ventricular apoplexy is not common complication. Among 158 patients with intracerebral blood clot, there were 5 cases of the cerebral-ventricular apoplexy (male: 2; female: 3) between the ages of 19 and 42. The clinical manifestations were usually poor. These manifestations in the young people included headache, stroke and coming to coma. The disease mainly discovered by CT scanner. The internal treatment indicated for patients with the cerebral ventricular apoplexy with Glasgow score above 8. The surgical intervention indicated for patients with gradual reduction of Glasgow score and immediate coma after apoplexy.

In 6 years period (1993-1998) 243 cases of brain tumor in children have been operated at the Dep. of Neurosurgery of Hanoi Saint-Paul hospital. The author presents a study of localisation and anato pathology of tumors, methods of treatment and operative results.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excelent explorating method for possibility of early and precise diagnosis, especially in the brain tumors and medullary lesions. The author presents special 9 cases of brain tumors and medullary lesions, which have been diagnosed by MRI, and operated at the department of Neurosurgery Hanoi Saint-Paul Hospital in 1997

During 3 years over 400 cases with neurological diseases in infants were operated on at the Dep. of Neurosurgery of Hanoi Saint-Paul hospital. Among them, there were only 16 cases with meningocele and meningo-encephalocele (congenital malformations). These patients were from 2 days to 16 months of age. To obtain good results, the diagnosis and treatment must be made early in the first days of life of the children. Results: among 16 cases: good:15, death:1

Cranial joint overlap (usually occurs in frontal parietal and parietal occipital joints) is one cause of craniostenosis. Cranial joint overlap is a sequela of meningeal hemorrhage and tends to occur on the children who are laid on back during treatment period for meningeal hemorrhage. To prevent, the children should be changed position during treatment period. Treatment for cranial joint overlap includes resection of overlapped joint, separating the frontal bone (or event occipital bone) from dura mater of brain and from parietal bone, corrects the bone if it was deformed

During 3 years, more 400 cases of the brain diseases in children have been operated at the department of neurosurgery of Hanoi Sain - Paul hospital. Among of them, only 16 cases of meningocele and meningoencephalocele who were congenital malformations of neurology with age of 2 days- 16 month of age. The author have presented the clinical and paraclinical manifestations, the indication, and the method of choice for the treatment, and the use of modified technique in the operation. For good results of postoperation, the diagnosis and treatment must be made early in the first days of life of children. Results: among of 16 cases: good 15, death: 1
