✦ Synopsis

By its ability to differentiate the densities of various intracranial tissues, computed tomography is an ideal tool to investigate the postoperative course and complications of neurosurgical patients. The most important immediate postoperative complications are intracerebral edema and epidural, subdural or intracerebral hematomas. The extent of surgical resection of neoplasms can also be studied easily by CT. The method of investigation and representative cases are described.

Cranial computed tomography (CT) was performed on 11 cases of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA (Morquio syndrome). Our results suggest that although the patients may have normal intelligence CT changes may be seen with increasing age. In two cases white matter low density was found and in a third the
