[Urolithiasis in children: an analysis of clinical cases].

The authors on the basing on clinical observation of 116 children with urolithiasis, in aged between 3 and 17 years have concluded the following: among the patients of the pediatric ward urolithiasis amounts to 9% of patients. It has been concluded that to diagnose urolithiasis ultrasounds are necessary, but in treatment and prevention an assay of crystallization components is indispensable. In all cases of children with urolithiasis, besides an infection, one must look for coexisting defects in the urinary tract.

Middle superficial cerebral vein.

The microanatomical study present the anatomy of the middle cerebral vein. On the basis of the anatomical data we distinguished concentric and nonconcentric types of tributaries of the middle superficial cerebral vein. The nonconcentric type prevails.

Meningiomas and gliomas in juxtaposition: casual or causal coexistence? Report of two cases.

Two cases of meningioma and glioma established in biopsy material from one or more than one operation are reported. In these cases, an originally benign meningioma was followed by the development of anaplastic astrocytoma in close juxtaposition to the site of first operation. The close juxtaposition of two histologically different tumors suggested that one of them might lead to local proliferation and independent growth of the other.

Microcystic meningioma--a rarely occurring morphological variant of meningioma.

Two cases of microcystic meningioma are reported. They were found by retrospective study of 124 human intracranial meningiomas. Both of the examined tumors were characterized histologically by a great number of cysts of various size intermixed with nests of neoplastic tissue of meningothelial meningioma type. Nevertheless, there were two kinds of cystic changes in these tumors. In the first case, numerous microcysts within the tumor were surrounded by stellate-shaped processes of meningioma's cells. The microcystic space were empty or rarely contained eosinophilic material. The latter tumor demonstrated small agglomerations of microcysts and many macrocystic changes, some of them filled with eosinophilic, PAS and mucicarmine negative material. Additionally, in focal areas of the tumor, single mitotic figures and giant cells with hyperchromasia were present. The authors discuss morphologic variability of the examined tumors and its possible clinical consequences. The pathogenesis of microcystic changes in meningioma is discussed with a brief review of the literature.

[Transplantation of fetal dopaminergic cells in Parkinson disease].

Four patients with severe form of Parkinson's disease received transplantation of fetal dopaminergic cells into the caput of the caudate nucleus. The operation was done by an original method using a device designed specially for this purpose. In all cases the duration of the disease was 10 to 15 years, and the predominating signs were tremor, bradykinesia, and markedly pronounced side effects of the treatment (on-off syndrome and involuntary movements). One patients died 5 weeks after the operation. Autopsy demonstrated good survival of the transplanted cells with good integration with the brain of the recipient and traces of positive immunocytochemical reaction for tyrosine hydroxylase. In the other patients a significant clinical improvement was noted after the operation, with reduced intensity of parkinsonian symptomatology, shortening of the duration of the off phase, improved motor ability and reduced intensity of the involuntary movements. The longest follow-up was 24 months.

[Extensive bifocal location of ependymoma of the spinal cord].

Spinal cord ependymomas belong to rare tumours of the central nervous system. Their malignancy is usually low although anaplastic forms are known also to occur. Surgical treatment is the method of choice supplemented often with radiotherapy. An exceptionally rare form of ependymoma with two foci of origin in the spinal cord is reported. The large extent of the tumour caused that laminectomy at 15 levels was necessary. The mechanism of ependymoma development at two levels is discussed.

[Favorable outcome of decompression of the trigeminal nerve in a case of bilateral neuralgia].

A case of the bilateral trigeminal neuralgia produced by compression of the V cranial nerve roots by the branch of the anterior lower cerebral artery and post-hemorrhagic aggregates is presented. Complete recovery was obtained in the result of 2-stage, intracranial relief of the right and left trigeminal nerve roots. Neurologists share the opinion that intracranial surgical relief of the V cranial nerve root produces favourable result in case of trigeminal neuralgia resistant to pharmacotherapy.
