Bilateral hypoplasia of the internal carotid arteries is a rare condition. The authors experienced two cases of bilateral hypoplasia of the internal carotid arteries. In one case, a 46-year-old female patient, presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Internal carotid angiograms showed right hypoplastic internal carotid artery and left agenetic internal carotid artery. An aneurysm, believed to be the source of the subarachnoid hemorrhage, took origin from the trunk of the basilar artery. In another case, a 48-year-old male, presented with semicomatous mentality. Brain CT demonstrated intracranial hemorrhage on the parasylvian area, and high density on the basal cistern, quadrigerminal cistern and temporal horn of left lateral ventricle. Initially, aortic arch injection did not visualized the origin of the common carotid arteries. It revealed only the vertebral arteries and both external carotid artery originating from each vertebral artery. A selective left vetebral artery study demonstrated a communication between the hypertrophied basilar artery and the posterior cerebral arteries. The anterior and middle cerebral vessels, in turn, were opacified through the circle of Willis, via the posterior communicating arteries. In addition, an aneurysm, believed to be the sourse of the subarachnoid hemorrhage, took origin from the posterior cerebral artery. The cases of the bilateral hypoplasia of internal carotid artery with intracranial aneurysm are reported as above, together with literature review.

The authors analyzed the radiographs(brain CT and cerebral angiograms) and medical & surgical records of 54 cases of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms resulted in operations at our hospital from January 1991 to December 1995. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The rate of incidence was found to be highest in sixth decade and the ratio of male to female was 1:1. 2) On the preoperative brain CT, ventricular or cerebral hemorrhage combined cases had high Hunt-Hess and Fisher grades. 3) Of 54 cases, hypertension was observed in 20 cases(37%). Hypertension had no effect on the admission Hunt-Hess and Fisher grades. 4) Classification of the anterior communicating artery aneurysms according to its directions were as follows; anterior direction in 57.4%, superior direction in 18.5%, posterior direction in 13%, inferior direction in 11.1%. 5) The afferent artery of anterior communicating artery aneurysms were as follows; left A1 in 38 cases(70.4%), right A1 in 12 cases(22,2%), bilateral A1 in 4 cases(7.4%). 6) The ranges of diameters of the aneurysm was as follows;6-10mm in 57.4%, below 5mm in 22.2%. 7) The posteriorly directing aneurysms showed less favorable preoperative state, and preoperative hydrocephalus was most common on the posteriorly directing aneurysms. 8) There was no significant relationship between direction of aneurysm and prognosis. However, better Hunt-Hess grades seem to correlate better prognosis. 9) The operation was performed by pterional approach in all cases, the approach side was selected for the presence of dominant feeding artery in 50 cases(92.6%). 10) Overall mortality rate was 1.8%, the patients who died are of the older age group and the cause of death was medical complication in 6 cases.

We have analysed 111 cases of subdural hygroma that were development after various neurosurgical conditions including head injuries. The results were summarized as follows. 1) The peak incidence was the age of 50's and occured most frequently in male. 2) Causes were head injuries(91 cases), traumatic intracranial hematoma removal(10 cases), operation for intracranial aneurysms(4 cases), hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation(2 cases), ventriculoperitoneal shunt(2 cases), brian tumor removal(1 cases), arachnoid cyst excision(1 cases), and cerebral infarction(1 cases). 3) Acute subdural hematoma was most often associated with complex subdural hygrom. 4) Clinical manifestations were headache, altered mental state, disorientation, nausea in order. 5) Operation were underwent in 27 cases and surgical complications were reaccumulation and pneumocephalus in order. 6) Mortality rate was 6.3%. 7) The prognois of the simple hygroma was very good, but the complex was not.

The present study was attempted to obtain the regional differences of development of the parvalbumin- and calbindin-ir neurons in the maturing rat hippocampus. Sprague-Dawley rats at 3, 7 days, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 weeks of age were transcardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde fixative. The hippocampus was cut into 30 or 40(m sections with a cryostat. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for the parvalbumin and the calbindin using ABC method. The parvalbumin-ir neurons and their axon plexuses achieved the adult patterns as following sequences;CA2 and CA3 at ghe second postnatal week, CA1 at the third week, and dentate granule cell layer by fifth postnatal week. In addition, the calbindin-ir neurons showed the adult patterns by second postnatal week in CA2, CA3, mossy fibers, and the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, the CA1 at the third week, and finally the dentate granular cell layer by fifth week. These results revealed that time course of the maturation of the parvalbumin- and calbindin-ir neurons in the rat hippocampus showed an area-specificity. The delayed maturation of CA1 and the latest maturation of the dentage granular cell layer suggested that the neurons in these locations seemed to exhibit differential responses to the conditions of increased intracellular calcium, when compared with other areas or with the adult hippocampus.

The authors have experienced a case of an arachnoid cyst within the cervical canal. The patient suffered from right upper extremity pain and numbness for 1 month. On cervical MRI, intradural extramedullary mass was detected. A total laminectomy of C5, C6 and C7 was performed. We could diagnose by radiological and pathological findings.
