[Development of intracerebral hydatid cyst evaluated with x-ray computed tomography. A case report]. / Croissance du kyste hydatique intracérébral évaluée par tomodensitométrie. A propos d'un cas.

In a study of a double cerebral hydatic cyst developed in a patient operated for another intracranial neurosurgical affection, the authors have determined the rate of growth of these cysts by repeated C.T. scan examinations. This rate was 4.5 cm a year, a value which is higher than other values classically accepted.

[So-called benign intracranial hypertension and Behçet's disease]. / Hypertension intracrânienne dite "bénigne" et maladie de Behcet.

Five cases of Behcet's disease with pseudo-tumor cerebri are reported and discussed. The authors put the emphasis on three main points : - this morbid association is not rare; - it explains the hypothesis suggested that pseudo-tumor cerebri is secondary to the alteration of intracranial venous system and CSF resorption disturbance; - the visual prognosis is poor in this entity.
