    Notes: Summary Stereoscopic structures of cancellous bone of human vertebral bodies were studied with a scanning electron microcope at autopsy of 2 cases of primary and 4 of secondary hyperparathyreoidism. One principle finding are enlarged resorbing surfaces all over numerous bone trabeculae. There is a compensatory activity of forming surfaces, which brings about mineralizing fronts and extended active osteoid seams. Active fiber osteoid predominates in cases with secondary (renal). HPT. No morphological differences can be demonstrated on bone trabeculae of dialyzed or non-dialyzed patients. These results are in a certain contrast to SEM findings in rat parietal bone after experimental PTH administration, which showed a striking increase of resting surfaces. These short-term animal experiments, however, are not really comparable to human chronic hyperparathyreoidism. The osteocytes of lamellar compact bone prove to be enlarged in cases of primary and secondary hyperparathyreoidism as compared to specimens of normal compact bone. The difference is slight but is statistically significant. We explain this not as periosteocytic osteolysis but as an effect of the disturbed maturation brought about by defective mineralization of the osteocyte capsules.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im M. tibialis anterior eines 68 Jahre alt gewordenen Mannes, der 1/2 Jahr vor seinem Tode am Herzinfarkt eine rasch progrediente neurogene Muskelatrophie in den Beinen entwickelte, fanden sich außerordentlich zahlreiche unifokal-konzentrische Muskelfaserveränderungen wie Target-, Targetoid/Core- und Targetoidfasern. Außerdem sah man große vacuolisierte Faserquerschnitte mit multiplen fokalen Veränderungen in der Randzone, die an die früher beschriebenen „cytoplasmic bodies“ erinnerten; im vorliegenden Zusammenhang wurden sie allerdings als Fasern mit multizentrischen Target- und Targetoidformationen interpretiert. Die Targetfasern zeigten eine weitläufige Variation in der äußeren Erscheinungsform, die in der Zusammenschau kontinuierliche Übergänge zu Targetoid/Corefasern (mit dichter Zentralzone) und Targetoidfasern (mit zentraler Auflösung und Vermehrung aquösen Sarkoplasmas mit wenigen fibrillären Strukturen) erkennen ließ. Wenige Fasern mit einer zentralen Verdichtung fibrillären Materials mit oder ohne schmaler Intermediärzone waren Corefasern des Central-Core-Disease auffallend ähnlich; andere glichen mehr dem Typ von Targetoidfasern mit strukturdichtem Zentrum, wie sie in der früheren Literatur beschrieben wurden. Beide Formen wurden wegen ihrer großen Ähnlichkeit von Engel et al. (1966) unter dem Begriff „Targetoid/Core Fibers“ zusammengefaßt. Das gleichzeitige Auftreten der verschiedenen Formen konzentrischer Faserveränderungen in einem Muskel legt die Annahme nahe, daß zwischen allen eine enge Beziehung im Sinne unterschiedlicher Manifestationsstufen des grundsätzlich gleichen pathogenetischen Prozesses besteht. So wäre unter dieser Annahme beispielsweise das Central-Core-Disease eine Erkrankung mit einer Generalisation konzentrischer Faserveränderungen, die im frühesten morphologischen Entwicklungsstadium zum Stillstand gekommen sind.
    Notes: Summary In the m. tibialis anterior of a 68-year-old man with rapidly developing denervation atrophy in the legs since 1/2 year prior to death from heart stroke, abundant unifocal concentric fiber changes, such as target, targetoid/core, and targetoid fibers could be observed. Besides, large vacuolized fibers with multiple changes resembling cytoplasmic bodies in the peripheral zone were present as well; they are interpreted as fibers with multicentric target or targetoid formations. The target fibers displayed a broad variation of their outer appearance suggesting a continuous transition to targetoid/core fibers (with a dense center) and targetoid fibers (with a central change to aquous sarcoplasm showing a paucity of fibrillar structures). Very few fibers with a central densification of fibrillar material with or without a thin intermediate zone were fairly akin to core fibers of central core disease; others were more alike the type of targetoid fibers, previously described in the literature, showing a dense target-like center; both were summarized under the term, inaugurated by Engel et al. (1966), “targetoid/core fibers”. Simultaneous occurence of the different kinds of concentric fiber changes suggested a strong relation between all of them in the sense of representing different developmental stages of the same pathogenetic process. Thus, the central core disease, for instance, might be a disorder with a generalization of concentric fiber changes having come to arrest in the earliest stage of development.

    Notes: Summary Various observations of diffuse meningocerebral angiomatoses, which cannot be satisfactorily classified with the common phakomatoses, have been reported. They may occur at any age, with familial accumulation or sporadically. Divry and van Bogaert were the first to draw attention to such conditions in adults, where meningo-cerebral angiomatoses seemed to be combined with sudanophilic leukodystrophy. However, subsequently the latter was considered to be due to hypoxic damage to the white matter. In other observations, the severe damage to the grey matter was more evidently of hypoxic origin. Observations on two newborn individuals, sporadic examples of diffuse meningo-cerebral angiomatosis and with severe necrotic changes in the grey and white matter, are reported and discussed. Published reports on the various age-related forms are summarized and a general designation is suggested, which includes the various observations under a general heading. A parallel will be drawn between the meningo-cerebral angiomatosis and Foix-Alajouanin's disease.

    Notes: Summary The generalized form of von Winiwarter-Buerger's disease (WBD) occasionally involves the brain. However, pure cerebral forms of the disease were also described by Spatz and Lindenberg (“Spatz-Lindenberg's disease”, SLD). Both, the type I, which involves the large basal arteries, and the type II, which results in a sickle-shaped granular atrophy of the cerebral cortex, are often accompanied by (“vascular”) dementia, which Lindenberg and Spatz mainly attributed to the bilateral involvement of the second frontal gyrus by granular atrophy. Recently, synaptic deprivation of the cortical gray matter has been shown to occur in the dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) and other neurodegenerative disorders. In DAT, the synaptic loss highly correlated with the degree of the mental impairment. We wanted to examine whether similar changes also occurred in dementia of vascular origin, for which SLD, although infrequent, is a typical example. In fact, we found that in three cases of typical SLD type II the synaptophysin immunoreactivity of the cortical neuropil in areas without overt infarcts or scar formation was as much reduced as in Alzheimer's disease. Although it must be taken into account that in the present cases the synapse loss might, at least in part, be due to secondary (Wallerian) degeneration as a result of the neuronal loss in the “watershed” regions of the arterial blood supply, it cannot be excluded that a decline of cortical synaptic contacts in areas without necroses or scars may occur as a primary event, contributing to the pathogenesis of the dementia. Final conclusions can only be expected from investigations into further cases of cerebro-vascular disorders with and without dementia.

    Notes: Summary Bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis (neurofibromatosis 2, NF2) accounts for less than 10% of all cases of neurofibromatosis and manifests itself with bilateral acoustic schwannomas, multiple schwannomas of spinal nerve roots, meningiomas, glial tumors and hamartomatous CNS lesions. We have observed dysplastic foci of immature neuroectodermal cells in the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia of six patients afflicted with neurofibromatosis 2, ranging from occasional clusters of immature, dysplastic cells to numerous, confluent lesions. These cells, although often polymorphic and multinuclear did not show mitotic acitivity or a tendency for neoplastic transformation. To determine the histogenesis of these foci, extensive immunocytochemical reactions were carried out with antibodies to a variety of glial, neuronal and nonneural cell lineages. With the exception of S-100 protein, no immunoreactivity was detectable. S-100 was consistently expressed in these foci, irrespective of their size, location, and degree of polymorphism. On the basis of cytological appearance, distribution and immunoreactivity we tentatively designate these foci as glial micro-hamartomas. Although we did not systematically analyze the CNS of patients with von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (neurofibromatosis 1, NF1), the present study strongly suggests that these micro-hamartomas constitute a morphological hallmark of bilateral acoustic neurofibromatosis (NF2).

    Notes: Abstract Two cases out of a sample of 41 fetuses and infants with prosencephalic malformation, observed at the Institute of Pathology and Department of Neuropathology of the University of Heidelberg, are described here in detail. These cases presented grossly with microcephaly and missing forebrain, appearing to be cases of aprosencephaly. However, in one of these cases glio-mesenchymal membranes with an ependymal outline, consistent with the microscopic appearance of the dorsal sac membrane in holoprosencephaly and obviously representing remnants of a collapsed primitive prosencephalic vesicle, could be demonstrated. In the other case only hindbrain structures, with the exception of the cerebellum, were present without any demonstrable remnants of a prosencephalon. We propose that the microscopic specification of a primitive prosencephalic vesicle in the first case and similar cases does not justify the diagnosis of atelencephaly/aprosencephaly because the prosencephalon was not really missing (pseudo-aprosencephaly). The prosencephalic anlage had been formed but remained vesicular without further differentiation of a holospheric brain mantle as in common holoprosencephaly (‘vesicular forebrain’). We believe that pseudo-aprosencephaly represents the most primitive form of holoprosencephaly, in which the forebrain remains as a complete sac, linking classical holoprosencephaly with ‘true’ aprosencephaly, i.e., defective prosencephalic anlage due to developmental arrest. The ‘vesicular forebrain’ allows one to extend the classification of Probst by an additional category which might be termed complete sac category, intercalated between the dorsal sac category and ‘true’ atelencephaly/aprosencephaly.

    Notes: Summary Report of a 33-year-old man with a yearlong historory of low-back pain radiating into the left leg. Neurologic examination upon admission tto the hospital revealed a spinal compression syndrome at the lovel L5. Laminectomy at L4/5 revealed an encapsulated intradural tumor measuring 4×2.5×2.5 cm. The tumor was attached to the dorsal root L4 and extended downward to the conus region. Light and electron microscopy revealed features mostly consistent with a mixed chemodectoma and ganglioneuroma.

    Notes: Summary Two oases of upward displacement of parts of the brain stem and the cerebellum are discussed. In both cases shunts for a hydrocephalus had been operating for a long time (three and a half years in one and seven months in the other). One infant had a meningomyelocele but no complete Arnold-Chiari malformation. The cause of the hydrocephalus in the other case was doubtful, but was thought to be transtentorial displacement of the brain stem and the cerebellum causing traction on the pons and consequent meningeal fibrosis with obstruction of the cisterna pontis. In this case osseous hypoplasia of the posterior fossa was excluded by craniometry, so the upward displacement must have been due to hypoplasia of the tentorium cerebelli and its low attachment to the occiput, bringing about a narrowing of the infratentorial space. The authors believe the condition to be a primary malformation, and reject the hypothesis of secondary herniation following long standing supratentorial decompression. The concept of a primary malformation is supported by previous descriptions of the condition in cases with spina bifida, Arnold-Chiari malformation, and hydrocephalus without shunting, as well as by other features in the cases which have been recorded.
