Neuroectodermal tumours in the cerebellum in two sisters.

Two sisters, one 5 years and the other 2 years old, with intrinsic tumours of the cerebellum are reported. One of the tumours was interpreted as being a ganglioneuroma with neuroblastomatous change. The other was a desmoplastic medulloblastoma.

Recurrence of astrocytoma of optic nerve after 48 years.

A tumour presumed to be a juvenile glioma of the optic nerve was removed by a Kronlein procedure from a 4-year old boy in 1925. In 1973 a severe proptosis made it necessary to remove the atrophic eye and a large retro-ocular tumour. Histological examination, supported by electron microscopy, showed the second tumour to be an anaplastic pilocytic astrocytoma. The possible histogenesis and this unusual behaviour pattern are discussed.

Patients with head injury who talk and die.

Of 66 patients with head injuries who had talked at some time after injury, 25% did not have intracranial haematoma at necropsy. Most of these had raised intracranial pressure (I.C.P.), and the commonest finding was local swelling related to contusions. Almost half of the non-haematoma cases had ischaemic or hypoxic brain damage, usually without contusions; 3 were children who had had status epilepticus. Fatality without raised I.C.P. was most often due to meningitis. In deteriorating patients without haematoma mortality and morbidity might be reduced by more diagnosis and treatment, particularly of raised I.C.P.

The classification of microgliomatosis with particular reference to diffuse microgliomatosis.

In 13 of 14 autopsied cases of microgliomatosis, there was macroscopic evidence of tumour in the brain. In 11 of these 13 cases, microscopical examination disclosed many other small foci of microglimatosis. In the brain which appeared normal macroscopically, there was only diffuse microgliomatosis. This was histologically indistinguishable from that found in the cases with distinct masses of tumour.

Acquired hepatocerebral degeneration: report of an atypical case.

A case of acquired hepatocerebral degeneration secondary to biliary cirrhosis is described. It differs from the conventional type because of the clinical predominance of cerebellar symptomatology and because the principal neuropathological abnormalities were restricted to the pallidum and to the cerebellum.
