Brain chip: a hypothesis.

Abstract

This article is the English version of the Brain Chip hypothesis previously presented in the books "Brain Equation One Plus One (Kinokuniya, 2001)" and "Plus Alpha (Kinokuniya, 2002)." The concept in this article has been translated into English by the author himself in response to an overwhelming number of requests from colleagues outside Japan.

A case of congenital jejunal atresia associated with bilateral athelia and choanal atresia: new syndrome spectrum.

We present a case of bilateral choanal atresia, cleft of the posterior palate. Cardiac, respiratory and central nervous system examinations were normal. An examination of the chest revealed aplasia of the bilateral absence of the bilateral nipple-areola complex. Skin, soft tissue and bilateral pectoral muscles of the chest wall were normal. The patient did not have scalp nodules or abnormal ears. Four hours after birth, an X-ray examination showed the distended intestinal loops, suggesting small bowel obstruction. Exploration was performed and congenital jejunal atresia was surgically identified. A primary anastomosis was performed. At 3 years of age, the patient had mild mental and growth retardation. Chromosome analysis was normal (46,XX). Magnetic resonance imaging showed no abnormal finding in the spinal cord; however, mild atrophy of the left cerebrum was pointed out. An abdominal echo examination showed no abnormal findings in the kidney. These associations may represent a previously undescribed syndrome spectrum.

Congenital supratentorial hemangioblastoma as an unusual cause of simultaneous supra- and infratentorial intracranial hemorrhage: case report.

Congenital supratentorial hemangioblastomas are extremely rare tumors even in pediatric population. A 57-day-old female neonate presented with a pure motor seizure. On imaging studies, intracranial hemorrhagic lesions containing multiple cystic components in the cerebral and cerebellar areas were revealed, simultaneously. After the emergency surgical evacuation only to a fatal supratentorial lesion, an infratentorial lesion also regressed spontaneously. The authors report a case of full-term neonate presenting with supra- and infratentorial hemorrhagic lesions, which occurred as a result of congenital supratentorial hemangioblastoma bleeding.
