The ophthalmologic signs in case of C1 neurinoma without hydrocephalus - case report.

Introduction: We present a case of the patient suffering from the tumor of cranio-spinal junction in whom a wide spectrum of ophthalmic and neuroophtalmic signs was noted.

Methods: The comprehensive neuro-ophthalmic examination were performed (pupillary reactions, visual activity, fundus ophthalmoloscopy, intraocular pressures, eye movements, visual field, MRI, MR angiography). Additionally immunohistochemistry and laboratory tests were made.

[Distal ventriculoatrial shunt catheter implantation under fluoroscopy guidance throught the left internal jugular vein as a rescue technique - a case report].

Revision of the distal ventriculoatrial shunt catheter is a rare challenge for the neurosurgeon. Its dysfunction associated with inflammation also binds to systemic complications. The paper presents a case report of a patient with bacterial colonisation of distal ventriculoatrial shunt catheter caused by separation of the layers of a old surgical wound.
