    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A 27-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with an isolated but complete axillary nerve palsy after excessive squash playing. When repeated electromyographic investigations showed no signs of reinnervation in the deltoid muscle, surgery was performed in order to restore nerve function. Intraoperatively, the nerve showed a short segment of thinning about 2 cm distally the nerve's origin from the posterior fascicle. As intraoperative electrophysiological testing was also negative (no electrically evoked nerve action potentials across the lesion) the suspicious nerve segment was resected and nerve continuity restored by sural grafts. Histologically, no intact nerve structures could be found at the site of the thinning. Most likely the lesion was caused by traction forces. Follow-up studies showed reinnervation of deltoid function over time.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nach exzessivem Squash-Spielen entwickelte ein 27jähriger, sonst gesunder Mann eine isolierte, vollständige Axillarisparese. Als sich nach 3 Monaten weder klinisch noch elektrophysiologisch Zeichen der Erholung der Nervenfunktion fanden, wurde der Nerv operativ freigelegt. Dabei zeigte sich nach der Epineurotomie eine sanduhrförmige Ausdünnung des N. axillaris kurz nach dessen Abgang aus dem Fasciculus posterior. Da auch die intraoperative, elektrophysiologische Testung negativ war (kein Nervenaktionspotential über die Verletzungsstelle ableitbar), wurde das auffällige Nervensegment reseziert und die Nervenkontinuität mittels autologer Suralisinterponate wiederhergestellt. Die histologische Aufarbeitung ergab den vollständigen Verlust nervaler Strukturen im Bereich der Ausdünnung. Als Ursache dieser Nervenläsion kommt am ehesten eine Überdehnung in Frage. Postoperative Verlaufsuntersuchungen zeigten eine zunehmende Reinnervation.

    Notes: Summary Biopsy specimens of 66 medulloblastomas were investigated by means of S-antigen and rod-opsin immunocytochemistry. The patients were operated between 1969 and 1988 and the medical records were retrospectively evaluated to correlate the immunocytochemical features of the tumors to the course of the disease. S-antigen- and rod-opsin-immunoreactive tumor cells were found in 19 out of 66 cases. Since in the normal non-neoplastic state immunoreactive S-antigen and rod-opsin are restricted to retinal photoreceptors and a class of pinealocytes derived from photoreceptor cells, the occurrence of these proteins in certain tumor cells of medulloblastomas suggests a differentiation of these cells along the photoreceptor cell lineage and allows the identification of a special subtype of medulloblastoma displaying photoreceptor-specific characteristics. This subtype appears to be closely related to retinoblastomas and pineal cell tumors. The incidence of this subtype corresponds to approximately 30% of all medulloblastomas. Correlation between the demonstration of immunoreactive S-antigen and rod-opsin and the course of the disease revealed a 10-year survival rate of 50.6% for patients with medulloblastomas displaying photoreceptor-specific characteristics and maximally 11% for patients suffering from medulloblastomas devoid of these markers. Although the statistical evaluation does not provide a significant result, the estimatedP-value of 0.085 indicates a distinct trend toward a better prognosis for patients suffering from medulloblastomas with photoreceptor-specific features. The validity of this trend needs to be proven in further studies with a greater number of patients.

    Notes: Summary A pineocytoma was investigated by means of immunocytochemistry with the use of a polyclonal antibody against bovine retinal S-antigen. Several cells of this tumor displayed strong S-antigen-like immunoreaction in analogy to certain pinealocytes in normal human pineal organs. This study indicates that S-antigen immunocytochemistry may be applied to characterize tumors of the pineal region.
