[Postpartum cerebral thrombophlebitis. Apropos of a case].

In reference to one new case of post-partum cerebral thrombophlebitis, the authors stress the difficulty of the clinical diagnosis. Because of its great reliability, conventional arteriography occupies a place of choice among the medical imaging techniques. Heparin therapy at isocoagulating doses has permitted to improve the very poor prognosis of this disease.

[Intracerebellar schwannoma].

Only some rare examples of schwannomas localized in the medullary parenchyma are cited in the literature. The first was described by Kernohan in 1933; 9 cases were rapported in the thirty following years. For Brain a few observations about one case were cited by David (1965), Gibson (1966), New (1972) and Ghatak (1975).
