ABSTRACT
The case of a 31 years old woman with multiple intracranial mycotic aneurysms in association with subacute bacterial endocarditis is reported. The authors discuss the clinical and pathological aspects of such lesions. The complete regression of all the aneurysms after antibiotic therapy favours an approach aiming at adequate control of the infection prior to any consideration of surgical treatment.

ABSTRACT
Two cases are reported of pupillary sparing in oculomotor palsy from temporal lobe astrocytoma. In one of them it was the first manifestation of recurrence of tumour. Tumour infiltration with resultant nerve ischemia is suggested to be the responsible pathological process.
