Berry syndrome is a rare association of congenital heart anomalies which consists of a distal aortopulmonary window with aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery and hypoplasia or interruption of the aortic arch. This defect can be corrected only by immediate surgical intervention, so accurate preoperative diagnosis and detailed anatomic depiction of this syndrome are important in prognosis. We experienced a case of Berry syndrome in an 8-day-old male, who had presented with multiple malformation such as syndactyly, high arched palate and brain hemorrhage. The diagnosis was made by two-dimensional echocardiography. The case is presented with a brief review of related literatures.

Hemangiopericytomas is a rare malignant tumor of the central nervous system having an incidence of 1-3.8% of all primary intracranial meningeal tumors, and the occurrence of cystic hemangiopericytomas is even rarer. We report our recent experience of a case of cerebral hemangiopericytoma associated with a large cyst in a 38 year-old man. The patient presented with 1-month history of headache. Computerized tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance image(MRI) showed a huge-sized, cystic tumor in the left frontal region. Histopathological report of the excised tumor confirmed cystic hemangiopericytoma. Over the years, the issue of classifying hemangiopericytoma as a form of meningioma has been controversial. Since hemangiopericytoma differs from that of ordinary meningiomas because of its extremely malignant behavior and different histological and ultrastructural properties, the author suggest that hemangiopericytoma classified not with meningiomas. Regardless of classification, total surgical removal of this tumor is crucial due to its tendency for local recurrence despite aggressive resection.

We analyzed 20 cases of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula(CCF) during the recent 10 years The results are summarized as follows: 1) In 18 cases(90%), the clinical symptoms & signs of CCF occurred within 2 months after trauma. 2) The sites of fistulae were common in horizontal segment(40%) and at the junction(30%) between horizontal segment and posterior ascending segment of cavernous portion of internal carotid artery. 3) The main draining veins of CCF were the superior ophthalmic vein(90%) and the inferior petrosal sinus(70%). 4) The methods of treatment were occlusion of fistula with balloon(9 cases), occlusion of cavernous ICA with balloon(2 cases), ligation of cervical ICA with Poppen's clamp(4 cases) and trapping(2 cases). Two patients were not treated and another patient was healed spontaneously. 5) The frequency and severity of complication was significantly decreased in cases treated by detachable balloon occlusion than by direct cervical ICA ligation or trapping procedures. 6) The procedure using the self-sealed goldvalve balloon was simple, but had a risk of premature separation and premature deflation.

The authors reported the cases of 23 patients with aneurysms measuring 2.5 cm or greater in diameter found during 7 years period in which we performed 596 operations for aneurysm of the 23 patients, 14 were treated by direct operation, 3 by internal carotid ligation with or without bypass surgery, 2 by trapping, 1 by wrapping and the other 3 by conservative therapy. The overall incidence of giant aneurysms was 3.9% but varied according to location; 9 cases were located on the internal carotid artery; 8 were on the anterior communicating artery; 5 were on the middle cerebral artery. 14 patients had hemorrhagic attacks, 7 had mass effects from the aneurysm, and 2 had ischemic events. Overall favorable outcome was 65% and the mortality was 13%. Based on the review of the literature, the appropriateness of surgery and surgical methods are discussed.

The incidence of intracranal aneurysm is rare in childhood and adolescence. During the period from January 1982 through December 1989, 793 aneurysms were operated on the our department. Of these 8 aneurysms occurred 8 patients under age of 18 years. The average age was 11.6 years(range 4 to 18 years). There were 6 male and 2 females. Presenting sings and symptoms included SAH in 6 aneurysms and focal neurologic deficits in 2 aneurysms. All aneurysms were surgically treated : direct clipping was performed in 6, aneurysmorraphy in 1, trapping alone in 1. The postoperative result were excellent in 5, good in 2, and fair in 1. The rarity of such lesions in childhood and adolescence and their pathogenesis are reviewed briefly.
