Cavernous sinus hemangioma (CSH) is a rare vascular malformation, arising from the cavernous sinus. Because of its anatomically complex location, a large lesion can cause a variety of symptoms due to cranial nerve compression. A 69-year-old woman with an unsteady gait was admitted to our hospital, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extra-axial giant tumor in the cavernous sinus and enlarged ventricles. A radiographic diagnosis of CSH was made. As the risk of surgical removal was considered high, the patient underwent intensity-modulated radiation therapy of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions. The size of the tumor decreased markedly over time, and the symptoms improved soon after treatment. A 61.8% reduction in tumor size was confirmed immediately after irradiation, and a 75.9% reduction was revealed at a follow-up visit one year later. We reported a case of a giant CSH with hydrocephalus, where tumor shrinkage was confirmed immediately after radiation therapy, and the symptoms of hydrocephalus improved without surgical intervention.

In the joint research and development of treatment systems of cooling water for cutting asphalt pavement surface with our authors' group, the liquid-solid separation technology by flocculating and settling technology, and the flocculants for the use of systems were developed. In this paper, the developed flocculating and settling technology and the flocculants are discussed first. Next, the demonstration tests of decontamination technology on the contaminated water in swimming pools in an elementary school located at Motomiya City, Fukushima Prefecture had been conducted by use of the stationary purification system of contaminated water and the flocculants compounding with or without iron ferrocianide developed by the preliminary test. It was clarified from the results that ionized cesium (Cs) rarely exists in the stagnant water in pools, ponds, lakes and so on at the time when nine months have passed since Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accidents. Further, it is necessary to use the flocculants compounding iron ferrocianide in the case where ionized Cs exists in water. From the above-mentioned results, the following problems were pointed out: One problem was cyanide dissolution in the purified water and the other one was the dissolution from the dehydration sludge. Finally, the high-performance mobile purification units of contaminated water which is capable for carrying with trucks have been developed, and the demonstration test was performed in Minami-soma City, Fukushima Prefecture to purify the contaminated water in a pond and generated by the high-pressure water washing in a Public Hall. From the test results, it was made clear that the dehydration sludge separated by liquid-solid settling of the contaminated water of around 1,000Bq/l became a high radiation dose of about 185,000Bq/l.
