    Notes: Summary Peripheral benign nerve sheath tumours are infrequent tumours and affect major nerve trunks. Some authors have indicated a high and prohibitive incidence of neurological injury in resection of these lesions. The authors describe their findings in a retrospective study comprising 119 patients with spontaneous benign nerve sheath tumours of the peripheral nervous system. Seventy-three patients had a schwannoma, 41 had neurofibroma and 5 had plexiform neurofibroma; 25 of the 119 patients suffered from neurofibromatosis. All schwannomas were excised completely and the outcome of patients was 41.0% improved, 6.8% worsened, 52.0% unchanged. Twenty-eight neurofibromas were excised completely and 13 subtotally; the outcome for patients was 19.5% improved, 19.5% worsened and 61% unchanged. All plexiform neurofibromas were removed subtotally and the outcome for patients was 20% improved and 80% unchanged. The best surgical results at average follow-up of 6 years were observed in the patients with schwannoma, the worst in those with plexiform neurofibroma. Our results demonstrated that it is often possible to remove schwannomas as well as neurofibromas with an acceptable risk of injury to the nerve.

    Notes: Summary The authors present a series of 8 pure subependymomas of the central nervous system surgically treated between 1965 and 1987. The clinico-pathological features and the results of surgical treatment of these benign tumours are discussed in the light of the most important literature on this topic.

    Notes: Summary Lumbar and intraneural synovial cysts are uncommon lesions, although their incidence has increased since the introduction of MRI. The authors describe the results of a study comprising 23 patients with synovial cyst (5 lumbar, 19 intraneural). Neuroradiological investigations included CT scan and MRI; however, it was not always possible to diagnose the nature of the lesion. In 18 cases the lesion was removed totally including its capsule; in the other 5 cases it was removed subtotally. Seven of the 23 patients presented a total remission of symptoms/signs, 11 improved and 5 remained unchanged. The importance of treating synovial cysts as radically as possible is discussed together with their most significant clinical and neuroradiological aspects.

    Notes: Summary ¶ Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow is an important and relatively frequent pathological condition that may be related to diffent causes depending on individual or external factors. The cause of the nerve lesion is also idiopathic in about one-quarter to one-third of cases. This variable aetiopathogenetic presentation has often suggested different diagnostic and clinical approaches and, moreover, various surgical procedures. We present our 8-years surgical experience with 290 cases of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow analysing the salient clinical features and the results of the surgical treatment in the light of the relevant literature available on this topic.

    Notes: Summary The median nerve divides into its terminal branches at or proximal to the distal edge of the flexor retinaculum. An anatomy of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel is reported in two separate cases. Emphasis has been given to the value of direct vision when incising the flexor retinaculum in order to avoid injure of the median nerve.

    Notes: Summary The authors present a retrospective study of 15 patients with post-traumatic intracranial meningioma. The 15 cases were selected according to the criteria specified in the relevant literature. Assessment of clinical characteristics in these patients seems to confirm that in some cases head trauma may be a factor contributing to the development of meningioma.

    Notes: Summary The authors report 46 cases of primary supratentorial arachnoid cysts. Thirty-two patients presented with symptomatic arachnoid cysts, which act as space-occupying lesions and were surgically treated by fenestration. 14 patients presented with a scarsity of symptoms; for this reason they were kept under control by periodical neuroradiological examination. After a long follow-up period (median 11 years), 97% of the operated patients presented neurological improvement and a decrease in the size of the cyst; none of the patients who were not operated on showed any variation in either neurological status or size of the cyst. The authors discuss their findings in the light of the published papers.

    Notes: Summary Among German radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons Hermann Moritz Gocht (1869–1938) is one of the most prominent figures. In addition to his noteworthy contributions to the progress of orthopaedic surgery, in 1897 he introduced the use of radiotherapy for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Subsequently the value of this technique was widely recognized by radiologists and neurosurgeons, and it is still acclaimed as the most brilliant intuition of this famous pioneer of radiology. Gocht made also important contributions to the technical development of X-ray apparatus and to the definition of the radiological anatomy of the skeleton, as well as to orthopaedic surgical pathology. The aim of this paper is to celebrate the centennial of Gocht's introduction of radiotherapy in the treatment of neuralgic syndromes and to express our appreciation of the work of this eminent scientist.

    Notes: Summary Intradiploic epidermoid cysts, fairly uncommon lesions in neurosurgical practice, are, as a rule, benign and slow-growing. Some attain great size, producing major neurological signs. Correct radiological assessment and complete removal of the tumour and its capsule are essential for adequate surgical treatment and good long-term prognosis. We report ten cases of intradiploic epidermoid cysts of the skull, three of which were giant lesions and one malignant, and analyze the clinicopathological and radiological features and treatment of these lesions in the light of the most important published data.
