[Primary solitary malignant schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve, Report of a case and review of the literature].

We present the case of a primary solitary malignant schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve. A total of 55 cases have been described in the literature; however, in these cases two tumors were affecting the supraorbital branch. This nerve-sheath tumor usually affects men in the fifth decade of life. The main clinical sign of malignant schwannomas of the head and neck is an indolent swelling. Hematogenic or lymphogenic metastasis has not been described. Because of the pleomorphism of the tumor cells immunohistochemical study is important. The treatment of choice is radical resection, possibly with adjuvant radio- or chemotherapy. The 5-year survival rate of malignant schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve is 41.7%.

[Atrial double-rhythm with total intraatrial block (author's transl)].

Report about a 52-year old patient with hypertension, who showed a transitory atrial double-rhythm and a total intraatrial block. The actions of one atrium with a frequency of 55--60/minute were transmitted regularly to the ventricles; the actions of the other atrium had a frequency of 90/minute and were not transmitted. In later controls of the ECG this phenomenon could not be seen again; at this time the rhythm was changing between a sinusrhythm with polytope ventricular extrasystoles and an absolute arrhythmia due to atrial fibrillation.
