Delayed haemorrhage in the splenium of the corpus callosum after aneurysm rupture.

Background And Object: Delayed haemorrhage in the splenium of the corpus callosum after aneurysm rupture is a rare finding. It can be defined as a haemorrhage not present at the initial diagnosis of subarachnoid bleeding, in the context of an aneurysm not located in the corpus callosum vascularization. Only three such cases have been reported, all with focal and circumscribed haematomas.

Cranial nerve injury after minor head trauma.

Object: There are no specific studies about cranial nerve (CN) injury following mild head trauma (Glasgow Coma Scale Score 14-15) in the literature. The aim of this analysis was to document the incidence of CN injury after mild head trauma and to correlate the initial CT findings with the final outcome 1 year after injury.

Methods: The authors studied 49 consecutive patients affected by minor head trauma and CN lesions between January 2000 and January 2006.
