A case of an intrathoracic meningocele associated with vertebral scalloping, enlarged intervertebral foramina and scoliosis in neurofibromatosis without spinal or nerve root rumors is described. A markedly attenuated dura mater anteriorly was present at autopsy and may have predisposed to meningeal herniation and scalloping.
A case of dysplastic gangliocytoma, or Lhermitte-Duclos disease, of the cerebellum is reported. The patient was the seventh reported survivor of this rare disease. A review of the known biology of the disease allows some optimism. The treatment of choice appears to be surgical resection only.
A species of Labyrinthula that causes 'rapid blight' and death of turfgrass has been isolated and studied. We name this new species Labyrinthula terrestris and briefly summarize morphological characteristics and growth patterns of this pathogen of turfgrass.
