    Notes: Summary Clinical, histopathological, and ultrastructural features of an extended intracranial malignant neoplasm are presented. Following incomplete extirpation of a large epidural tumor at the temporal base of the skull, the 21-year-old male patient suffered from several local recurrences and died at the age of 27. The neoplasm was defined by its histopathological and ultrastructural characteristics and by the pattern of its antigenicity as a malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT). Considering previous publications on MRT, this case may be the first of primary intracranial MRT appearing in an adult.

    Notes: Summary With regard to meningioma grading and the recently introduced “atypical” meningioma, we evaluated 160 cases retrospectively by conventional histology and image analysis. For that, the cell nuclei were stained with a Ki-67 (MIB1)/Feulgen-method on paraffin sections, thus enabling the assessment of both the Ki-67 proliferation index and nuclear morphometric features, such as tumour cell arrangement, nuclear pleomorphism, and cellularity. It could be demonstrated that the Ki-67 proliferation index is the most important criterion for distinguishing anaplastic meningiomas (WHO “grade” III) (mean Ki-67 index: 11%) from those of common type (WHO “grade” I) (mean Ki-67 index: 0.7%). The parameter for the “relative volume weighted mean nuclear volume” is another valuable morphometric feature. The “atypical” meningioma (WHO “grade” II) which should represent an intermediate category between common type and anaplastic meningiomas is characterized by a mean Ki-67 proliferation index of 2.1%. Common type meningiomas which comprise almost 50% of the cases of this series have a relapse rate of 9%. “Atypical” and anaplastic meningiomas recurred in 29% and 50%, respectively. Since the term “atypical” meningioma is confusing in the context of tumour grading, the term “intermediate type meningioma” is proposed. Furthermore, the results of cytogenetic analyses of 142 cases of this series were evaluated and compared with the meningioma grades. Thereby, 25 cases disclosed, independent of the typical loss of one chromosome 22, cytogenetic features assumed to be progression-associated, e.g., the gain or loss of different chromosomes and the deletion of the short arm of one chromosome 1 (hyperdiploidy, increased hypodiploidy, Ip-), when correlated to the histological and morphometric findings or the high relapse rate. For meningioma diagnosis and grading, a practical guideline is proposed based upon histology, morphometry (Ki-67), and cytogenetics.

    Notes: Summary The authors describe a unique case of complete lesion of the radial nerve at the level of the upper arm as a result of compression by the fascia of the lateral portion of the triceps. The lesion was atraumatic. The histological examination clearly showed neuritis. After autologous interfascicular nerve grafting good recovery of radial function was observed.

    Notes: Summary Two cases of acute hydrocephalus 34 and 27 years after hemispherectomy are presented. Both were examined by intracranial pressure recordings and treated with shunting procedures. The recordings gave evidence of raised baseline values of intracranial pressure and showed pathological B-wave activity in over 80% of the recording time. The problem of free communication between the different compartments after hemispherectomy and different surgical approaches to solve the problem are discussed. Open surgery is not advocated.

    Notes: Summary CT scanning was carried out in 508 patients with acute head injuries. Retrospective analysis of the findings revealed intracranial air in 49 cases (9.7%). Air may be situated in the extradural, subdural or subarachnoid spaces or intracerebrally. A pneumocephalus was detected in 40 out of 49 (82%) of head injury patients within 6 hours of the accident. Injuries associated with a pneumatocele or a single intracranial air bubble have a good prognosis, as do frontobasal lesions. Injuries associated with multiple air bubbles have a bad prognosis. Intracranial air was a sign of a frontobasal or laterobasal fracture. In cases with a depressed skull fracture, extracerebral haematoma or pneumocephalus acting as a space occupying lesion, an operation should be performed as soon as possible. If associated with a persistent rhinorrhea the CSF-fistula should be operated according to the generally accepted rules13. In other post-traumatic cases intracranial air may be disregarded, although its presence may influence the choice of treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The purpose of this study was to compare the initial stiffness of two techniques for posterior interbody lumbar fusion (PLIF) by a finite element approach. Thus a finite element model of a human L3/4 spinal segment was generated. Stiffness of the intact model was tested under compression (600 N), torsion (25 Nm) and shearing forces (250 N) without preload. The results were compared to the stiffness following simulation of PLIF with two BAK-Cages and PLIF with two Harms-Cages and additional posterior screw-rod-osteosynthesis. PLIF with two BAK-Cages resulted in a loss of stiffness in compression, torsion and shearing. PLIF with two Harms-Cages and posterior osteosynthesis resulted in an increase of stiffness in compression, torsion and shearing.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ziel dieser Analyse ist der Vergleich der Primärstabilität nach PLIF mit 2 interkorporal implantierten „threaded cages“ mit der PLIF-Technik nach Harms (interkorporale Implantation von 2 Titankörben und hintere zuggurtende Osteosynthese, MOSS-MIAMI-System). Zum Vergleich der beiden Methoden wurde ein Finite-Elemente-Modell eines Segments L3/4 entwickelt. Die Initialsteifigkeit des intakten Modells wurde durch Computersimulation untersucht: axiale Kompression (600 N), Rotation (25 Nm) und Schub (250 N) wurden ohne Vorlast eingeleitet, der Bewegungsumfang und hieraus die Steifigkeit des intakten Präparats bestimmt. Danach wurden die Implantate über die Simulation eines dorsalen Zugangs in das Modell eingefügt, die Messungen mit den gleichen Kräften und Momenten wiederholt und die Steifigkeit des operierten Segments berechnet. Das MOSS-MIAMI-Modell wies sowohl unter Kompression, Rotation und Schubbelastung eine Zunahme der Initialsteifigkeit im Vergleich zu dem intakten Modell auf, während das „Threaded-cages-Modell“ eine deutliche Abnahme in Kompression, Rotation und Schub im Vergleich zum intakten Modell zeigte.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Meningiomas account for the most frequent primary intracranial neoplasms in adults. In 1993, the so-called atypical meningioma has additionally been introduced in the revised edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System and should characterize meningiomas with an increased propensity to recur. Since the given qualitative histological criteria apply both to the ”atypical” and anaplastic meningioma, mere histological grading appears somewhat critical. Therefore, additional parameters were tested for their contribution to meningioma grading: First of all, we succeeded in defining 3 meningioma ”grades” by calculating corresponding 95% confidence intervals for the morphometrically assessed Ki-67 indices of 160 meningiomas in total, the validity of which was proved by comparison with the ”recurrence”-free intervals. Histologically, atypical meningiomas were distinguished by a ”syncytial”, poorly structured growth pattern and macronucleoli. Only occasionally, nuclear pleomorphism, necroses and mitotic figures were found. Cytogenetics revealed, in 50% of the ”atypical” and anaplastic meningiomas, partial loss of the short arm of one chromosome 1 (1p-). Histochemically, we could demonstrate, that the tissue non-specific type of alkaline phosphatase (ALPL), which is coded on chromosome 1p, is a convenient recurrence- and progression-associated marker enzyme for meningiomas with 1p-loss (loss of enzyme activity in 30/39 of intermediate and 8/8 anaplastic meningiomas). We favor to address the WHO ”atypical” meningioma as meningioma of the intermediate type, since the attribute ”atypical” in the context of histological diagnoses is highly susceptible to misinterpretations.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Meningeome gehören zu den häufigsten intrakranialen Tumoren im Erwachsenenalter. Das sog. atypische Meningeom wurde 1993 in die revidierte Fassung der WHO-Klassifikation für Tumoren des zentralen Nervensystems zusätzlich aufgenommen und soll Meningeome mit einer gegenüber üblichen Meningeomen erhöhten Rezidivneigung bezeichnen. Da für dieses Meningeom die gleichen qualitativ-histologischen Kriterien angegeben werden wie für das anaplastische Meningeom, erscheint eine rein histologische Diagnose mit gewissen Unsicherheiten behaftet. Wir haben nach weiteren prognostisch relevanten Parametern gesucht: Mit Hilfe des morphometrisch ermittelten kernflächenbezogenen Ki-67-(MIB1-)Index ließen sich für Meningeome aller 3 Grade (N=160) 95%-Konfidenzintervalle berechnen, die sich im Vergleich mit den ”Rezidiv”-freien Intervallen als valide erwiesen. Histologisch zeichnen sich die sog. atypischen Meningeome durch ein wenig strukturiertes, ”synzytiales” Wachstumsmuster und große prominente Nukleolen aus. Fakultativ fanden sich Kernpleomorphie, Nekrosen und Mitosefiguren. Zytogenetisch wiesen die sog. atypischen und anaplastischen Meningeome, abgesehen von dem typischen Verlust eines Chromosoms 22 und unsystematischen klonalen Veränderungen, in 50% der Fälle einen distalen Stückverlust am kurzen Arm eines Chromosoms 1 (1p-) auf. Histochemisch konnte von uns gezeigt werden, daß bei Meningeomen die gewebeunspezifische Form der alkalischen Phosphatase (ALPL), deren Strukturgen auf 1p liegt, als progressions- und rezidivassoziiertes Markerenzym eingesetzt werden kann (Verlust der Enzymaktivität in 30/39 intermediären und 8/8 anaplastischen Meningeomen). Anstelle des Begriffes ”atypisch”, der im klinischen Alltag vieldeutig ist und im Zusammenhang mit dem Tumorgrading Anlaß zu Fehlinterpretationen geben kann, schlagen wir für diese zwischen den üblichen und den anaplastischen Meningeomen gelegene Gruppe relativ rezidivgefährdeter Tumoren die Bezeichnung Meningeome vom intermediären Typ vor.
