As part of the localized encephalic contusions, the cerebellar contusion, by its etiopathogenic, clinic, paraclinic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects represents a distinct individuality. Studying a series of 30 cases of cerebellar contusions the authors notice the increased incidence in children (28 cases), the cerebellar vulnerability in children being explained by the high site and increased elasticity of the occipital bone as well as by the nape muscles thinness. The clinical syndrome, more common of archicerebellar type, can occur alone or associated with a minor or mild diffuse mental shock. The paraclinic investigation is reduced to lombar puncture, cranial radiography and EEG. The evolution, especially in children, is towards healing in 2-3 weeks of conservative treatment.

Out of a series of 364 patients, 56 cases of essential trigeminal neuralgias operated upon by retrogasserian radicotomy by intradural temporal route are presented. Pointing out that we are in a period of confrontation between the great surgery, classical or micro-neurosurgery of the trigeminal nerve and the drug therapy or percutaneous surgery, the authors conclude that the indication of great surgery is restricted but has not disappeared--taking into account the good permanent results obtained (89%) and the reduced rate of failures and recurrences (11%). In the conditions of a general anesthesia with intracranial hypotension and correct surveillance the surgeon has gaine an extra security when performing these operations.
