Note: annotated on the back of the drawing is "Mr. Shaw, Wd. 20, June 1960". Mr Shaw was a...

Scope and Contents Drawing showing coronal section of a brain undergoing a drainage procedure, depicting how the posterior circulation of the brain can become disrupted. Posterior coronal section of the head depicting resolution of secondary ventricular enlargement and bilateral uncal herniation with the use of a ventricular drain (in the right anterior horn of the lateral ventricle) via burr hole and a spinal injection (which exerts an upward pressure on the herniated brain tissue, thus correcting the...

Scope and Contents Black and white line drawing, showing the side profile of a head with detail of a brain with a tumour and the spinal cord, which is undergoing a procedure. Sagittal view of the head and neck, depicting a cerebellar tumour causing foraminal impaction; whereby the cerebellar tonsils have herniated downwards through the foramen magnum due to an increase in intracranial pressure caused by the tumour.
