[Neuroradiologic diagnosis of space compression processes caused by orbital tumors or pseudotumors]. / Neuroradioloska dijagnostika spaciokompresivnih procesa orbite tumorske i pseudotumorske etiologije.

In thirty-year period are presented 110 patients with spatio-compressive orbital processes diagnosed by ophtalmoradiological methods. Out of those, 100 patients were surgically treated and histopathologically verified in our institution. All the entities of spatio-compressive processes are presented, benign and malignant tumors as well as pseudotumors of inflammatory and vascular nature. All the methods known in the world up to day are chronologically alleged, from classic to modern digital methods, as well as their diagnostic efficacy. The most efficacious algorhitm is established in the choice of radiological examination procedures on the basis of former experience. The collaboration of neuroradiologist, ophthalmologist and neurosurgeon was of the utmost significance in solving the spatio-compressive orbital processes.

[Closed intracranial extradural traumatic lesions of the internal carotid artery]. / Zatvorene traumatske intrakranijalne ekstraduralne lezije unutrasnje karotidne arterije.

Closed intracranial lesions of the internal carotid artery are severe complications of craniocerebral trauma. Intradural lesions of branches of this artery are common and well known while extradural lesions are less frequently found. This is illustrated also by a small number of lesions found in our patients within the twenty-year period, namely 8/1000 compared to intradural lesions of branches of the internal carotid artery. Traffic accidents are dominating in their etiology and the causative mechanism is transsphenoidal fracture of the skull base. Due to difficult surgical approach inadequate methods of ligature of the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery have been used before but it has not led to cure. Contrarily to this, modern direct microsurgical approach or balloon embolisation successfully solve this problem.

[The present surgical status in the diagnosis and treatment of acute traumatic intracranial hemorrhage]. / Savremeni hirurski stav u dijagnostici i lecenju akutnih traumatskih intrakranijalnih krvavljenja.

The development of acute traumatic intracranial bleedings after severe head injuries is a dramatic manifestation. A great part in the timely discovery and successful treatment is equally played by the surgeon and by the radiologist, who make an inseparable diagnostic and therapeutic team. Therefore, they have an equal share in the glory of success and disappointment of failure.
