[Personal experience with surgical treatment of the lumbo-ischiadic syndrome].

A prospective investigation of 200 patients with lumboischiadic syndrome, who were operated in the Regional Institute of National Health, Banska Bystrica. Before operation 176 patients had CT examinations and 70 perimyelographic examinations. Only patients where the clinical finding and CT or perimyelographic finding correlated were indicated for operation.

Behavioural responses to cerebellar stimulation in cerebral palsy.

Stereotactic placement of stimulating electrodes (TESLA) into deep regions of the cerebellum (Fischer instruments) was analyzed in respect to its organization into sagittaly oriented zones. This was done after imaging of the trajectory and target area and verification of the position of electrodes by CT (Siemens). A correlation was observed between the position of the stimulating electrode from the midline laterally and localization of induced responses on the body--from bilateral to ipsilateral.

[Noninvasive imaging methods and angiography in the diagnosis of chronic viscero-visceral arterial collateral circulation in stenosis of the celiac trunk].

Stenosis or even occlusion of truncus coeliacus represents the most frequent cause in the development of collateral blood circulation with caudiocranial flow through extended pancreatic-duodenal arcades. In a group of 32 patients with such mesenteric-coeliacal collateral circulation their arteriographic picture was evaluated. The authors evaluated differences and specific diagnostic contribution of individual visualization methods for demonstration of arteries.
