Abstract

Spastic Torticollis.8 the thalamus and internal capsule.The prolongation of the growth extended caudad from the thalamus towards the left occipital gyri for a distance of I5 millimeters.The anterior corpora quadrigemina were like bulbous projections dislocated forwards.The ventricles were enormously distended.The corpora striata were normal.There was no evidence of growth in the right thalamus.The tumor appeared to be a gliosarcoma involving the region of the pineal gland, and invading the left thalamus and posterior division of the left internal capsule.
