[Calcified chronic subdural hematoma complicated with subcortical hemorrhage: case report].

The patient was a 46-year-old male, who suffered from mild head trauma in January 2002, and general convulsions with unconsciousness on February 28. Slight right hemiparesis and aphasia were presented after the epilepsy attack. CT scan revealed a large lesion of mixed density occupying the left temporal space.

[Aseptic meningitis as a complication caused by an allergic reaction after microvascular decompression: two case reports].

We report here two cases of patients complicated with aseptic meningitis after microvascular decompression (MVD). The first case, a 56-year-old female complained of headache with high fever 18 days after the MVD for right trigeminal neuralgia. The amount of cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) had so much increased that bacterial meningitis was suspected.

[A dissecting aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery was reduced spontaneously during conservative therapy: case report].

We report here a case of a patient with a dissecting aneurysm of the anterior medullary segment of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) which presented with Wallenberg's syndrome. A 32-year-male presented with an unusual case of Wallenberg's syndrome due to a dissecting aneurysm of the PICA manifesting as a sensation of heaviness in the occipital region and vertigo. The occipital symptoms persisted and vertigo and vomiting developed after 6 days.

[The usefulness of 3D-CTA for the diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm at the origin of the duplicated middle cerebral artery: case report].

Duplication of the middle cerebral artery is known as a rare anomalous vessel arising from the internal carotid artery and an aneurysm at the origin of the duplicated middle cerebral artery is very rare. We presented a case of ruptured aneurysm at the origin of the duplicated middle cerebral artery and discussed the usefulness of 3D-CTA (three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography) for its diagnosis. A 34-year-old female suffered from severe headache and was admitted to our hospital.
