    Abstract Study of dendritic morphology through Golgi impregnation techniques has significantly furthered our understanding of neuronal development, maturation, and senescence. It has also provided insight into the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of disease processes ranging from brain malformations to degenerative disorders. Golgi impregnation remains virtually the only method for demonstrating dendritic morphology. It delineates the profile of the individual neuron and its dendritic ramifications with unsurpassed clarity. Although it has been widely applied to experimental neuroscience involving animal tissue, its application to human material has been limited. This review summarizes the information on dendritic development and pathology in the human brain revealed by the use of the Golgi method.

    Abstract Intellectual impairment associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy is well recognized, although no consistent anatomic central nervous system lesions have been reported. The autopsy findings of 13 patients, ages 13-18 years, were reviewed. Intelligence quotients, ascertained in 5 patients, ranged from 46-79. Gross and microscopic examinations of brain and spinal cord revealed no consistent pattern of abnormalities. Neuropathology included neuronal loss and gliosis in spinal gray matter and tegmental brainstem, extensive Purkinje cell loss, mononuclear perivascular cuffing with cortical and subcortical gliosis, and cerebral heterotopia. Quantitative analysis of rapid Golgi impregnations of the visual cortex revealed significantly reduced dendritic length and branching of apical and basal dendrites from pyramidal neurons in 1 patient and less striking attenuation of dendritic arborization in 2 others. The literature suggests that the intellectual deficit in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is nonprogressive and unrelated to age or severity of muscle disease, although performance intelligence quotient may deteriorate with progressive muscle weakness. Golgi analysis suggested that abnormal dendritic development and arborization may underlie intellectual impairment. Although the pathogenesis of the cellular defect is not fully known, the coexistence of central nervous system and muscle pathology raises the possibility of a common molecular mechanism.

    Abstract Cerebral edema is a well-known complication of malignant astrocytoma and metastatic brain tumour. Though far less frequent, the association of cerebral edema with meningioma is also recognized; this is unpredictable and sometimes out of proportion to tumour size. We describe three cases where the mass effect was due to severe edema, rather than the tumour itself and was responsible for a catastrophic clinical presentation. The mechanisms responsible for the development of severe edema with meningioma which have been previously proposed are reviewed. They include tumour size, location, histologic subtype, cellularity, mitotic activity, vascularity and the presence of excretory-secretory activity. None of these consistently correlate with cerebral edema. Our cases suggest that spontaneous hemorrhage into the tumour may be the common factor responsible for severe cerebral edema. It is stressed that though a decidedly rare complication, cerebral edema secondary to meningioma should be entertained in the differential diagnosis of acute neurologic deterioration of these patients.

    Abstract Massive fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage maximal in the posterior fossa following minor trauma to the head and neck was first attributed to rupture of a vertebral artery (VA) in 1971. Typically, a young, healthy, but intoxicated man receives a minor blow and immediately collapses and dies within minutes. Early reports suggested an extracranial site of rupture with upward tracking of blood into the subarachnoid space. In few cases has this site of rupture been histologically verified, and more recent reports have drawn attention to intracranial rupture of the VA. We describe herein six cases in which the intracranial segment of the VA was the site of traumatic rupture, a site which can be demonstrated by careful examination of the most proximal segment of the VA attached to the brain in the course of routine brain removal.
