- Two patients-6 and 14 years old-with tuberous sclerosis are presented. Both developed a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma from nodules located near to the foramen of Monro. They caused obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid pathways. Signs of raised intracranial pressure were detected in both patients, and one of them had also developed infantile spasm-Blitz-Nick-Salaam seizures. Cutaneous stigmata being characteristic for this entity were observed in both cases, but their mental development was unaffected. Diagnosis was based on computed tomography. Angiography did not reveal pathological vessels. The tumours were completely excised through transcallosal exposure in both cases. The patients have been symptom-free during the follow-up time of 1 and 2 years. Although the incidence of malignant transformation of tuberous sclerosis is less than 15% the disease generally has a poor prognosis which can be ascribed to sudden increase of intracranial pressure caused by obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid pathways by paraventricular tumours. However, regular follow-up of paraventricular nodules and maintenance of patency of cerebrospinal fluid pathways by microsurgical methods in patients suffering from mild cerebral disorders offers a better chance of survival.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Traumatic brain injury is putting an extreme burden on societies all over the world. While surgical and neuro-intensive treatment is traditionally aimed at space occupying or focal lesions, traumatic brain injury is frequently associated with diffuse axonal injury, which significantly contributes to its morbidity and mortality. Current taught appreciates that diffuse axonal injury is a progressive event gradually evolving from focal alterations in axolemmal permeability and the underlying axonal ultrastructure to axonal disconnection, a process amenable of therapeutic interventions. This review is primarily focusing on the clinical/neuroradiological manifestation and our contemporary knowledge of the pathobiology of traumatically evoked (diffuse-) axonal injury with particular emphasize on recent- to date, primarily experimental-therapeutic approaches that in the future might offer potential aid to the head injured.
