[Pneumoencephalography in the diagnosis and complex treatment of traumatic epilepsy].
Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova
December 1981
Pneumoencephalographic examinations (after endolumbar injection of 60 ml of air) were carried out in 84 patients who developed epileptic seizures after closed brain injuries. In all the patients diffuse cysto-adhesive arachnoiditis, open inner hydrocephalus, and delayed resorption of air from the cerebral ventricles were revealed roentgenologically. A therapeutic effect that manifested itself in a subjective improvement, abatement of the organic signs, cessation, diminution on the frequency, or transformation of the seizures into milder ones was noted in 77% of the patients.

J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry
June 1979
Five patients suffering from dementia paralytica who failed to improve or deteriorated after one or several high dosage courses of penicillin, had pneumoencephalographic patterns suggesting communicating hydrocephalus. Measurements of the ventricular index, ratio of cella media to width of the temporal horn, and the callosal angle differed from that in seven cases of dementia paralytica with associated cerebral atrophy. An isotope cisternogram in three cases with communicating hydrocephalus further confirmed a blockage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the parasagittal subarachnoid space.

The brain size was assesed by ventriculography prior to initial surgery and by computer tomography (CT-scanning) at the time of investigation 6--11 years after operation. The intellectural development was evaluated by psychological investigation of the children and by evaluation of their social adaptation.

The pre- and postoperative parameters were compared with clinical information, ophthalmological and neuroradiological findings with a view to an evaluation of their prognostic value.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFComputer-aided sterotactic neurosurgery can be improved and simplified by using craniocerebral parameters for the calculation of subcortical target points and avoiding an air-filling of the ventricles. This was achieved by selecting 403 pneumo-encephalographic studies at random, measuring the craniocerebral parameters according to age and sex. There is a correlation between the bony cranium and the brain axis.
