Gerota versus Zuckerkandl: the renal fascia revisited.
In the medical literature, Gerota fascia is frequently used as a general term to describe both the anterior and posterior pararenal fascia. However, Zuckerkandl's name is also often used to describe either the anterior or posterior fascia. To resolve this confusion, the authors reviewed the original works by Gerota and Zuckerkandl. In 1883, Zuckerkandl described the posterior renal fascia but did not recognize the presence of the anterior renal fascia. In 1895, Gerota documented the presence of the anterior renal fascia and clearly assigned Zuckerkandl's name to the posterior renal fascia. Thus, the terms Zuckerkandl fascia and posterior renal fascia are synonymous, as are Gerota fascia and anterior renal fascia.

Gustav Schimmelpenning and the syndrome bearing his name.
Gustav Schimmelpenning was born in 1928 in Oldenburg (Germany). From 1971 until 1994 he was head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Kiel. In 1957, while training in neurology and psychiatry, he comprehensively described a case of sebaceous nevus involving the head, with ipsilateral ocular lesions including coloboma of the upper lid, increased density of cranial bones, epileptic seizures and mental retardation. He concluded that this combination of anomalies represented a new 'phacomatosis'. Subsequently this phenotype was reported by other authors under many different names, such as 'Schimmelpenning syndrome', 'Feuerstein-Mims syndrome', 'Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome', 'epidermal nevus syndrome', 'Solomon syndrome', 'linear sebaceous nevus syndrome', 'organoid nevus phacomatosis', or 'Jadassohn nevus phacomatosis'. As a consequence of this confusing terminology, Schimmelpenning syndrome even has two different OMIM entries (no. 163200 and no. 165630). The term 'Schimmelpenning syndrome' is both historically justified and practically sufficient to distinguish this phenotype from other epidermal nevus syndromes.

On the legacy of Joseph Babiński.
Joseph Babiński pioneered development of French neurosurgery and world clinical neurology. Although he was best known for his discovery of the extensor plantar response, his foundations in the modern semiology of neurology are unequivocal. He introduced the concepts and terminology of cerebellar symptoms and discovered a reflex asymmetry as the sign of organic disease. Although he considered the development of French neurosurgery by his pupils as his greatest accomplishment, it is 'the sign' that has dominated his legacy over the years. This sign will also celebrate a centenary in 1996.
