The capillary hemangioblastoma, as originally defined by Lindau and by Cushing and Bailey, is widely regarded as being of Vascular origin and relatively uncommon. The most frequent site of this neoplasm is the cerebellum and second frequency is the spinal cord. We experienced a case of capillary hemangioblastoma arising at the upper thoracic spinal cord with the paraplegia and the sensory disturbance below the nipple line. The total laminectomy with mass excision was taken and the patient have shown good improvement of the neurological defecits in postoperative period.

To determine the comparative accuracy of two Doppler tests, the findings of 38 patients who had undergone a complete evaluation by supraorbital Doppler test, frontal Doppler test and angiography were studied. When stenosis of 60 percent or more in diameter was considered as a true positive finding, the Doppler tests of 76 internal carotid arteries of the 38 patients showed the following results. Supraorbital Doppler test: eight false positive, three false negative, and 65 correct findings, with an overall accuracy of 85%. The authors, therefore, concluded that the suprorbital Doppler test was more sensitive and accurate than the frontal Doppler test in screening the patients with possible carotid artery occulusive diseases.

Authors reviewed the clinical features and diagnostic approaches in 70 patients of cysticercosis who had been diagnosed at Seoul National University Hospital from 1978 to 1982. The ages of the 70 patients ranged from 4 to 65 years at the time of the diagnosis (mean age 36.9years) with 62.9 percent between the age 20 and 50 years. Male were more frequently involved than female (2:1). Forty-seven patients (67.1%) presented with neurological symptoms and signs, among which epileptic seizures (66%) was the most common one. Subcutaneous nodules were observed in 36 patients (50.1%) and 24 patients of them had no abnomal clinical findings other than subcutaneous nodules. Computed tomography (CT), employed in 46 patients, showed multiple low densties in 31 patients (67.4%).
