Survival of a multiple skull trauma: the case of an early neolithic individual from the LBK enclosure at Herxheim (Southwest Germany)
The Early Neolithic enclosure of Herxheim yielded the human remains of more than 450 individuals mainly represented by cranial vaults and numerous fractured cranial and post- cranial bones. The skulls were shaped post-mortem into skull caps by intentional separation of the cranial base and facial bones. One of these calottes revealed four ante-mortem traumatic lesions and additional cut marks.The defects of this individual were analysed in detail to obtain information on the chronology and consequences of the traumata and manipulations and their probable intention. Four marks could be attributed to at least two violent incidents because of their different stages in the healing process. Ther…
Radiologie des gastrointestinalen Stromatumors (GIST). Gleichzeitig ein Beitrag zum Carney-Syndrom
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) represent an extremely rare group of tumors, which are mostly of smooth muscle origin like leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas and leiomyoblastomas. With the introduction of immunohistochemical analysis an epitheloid and an autonomic nerve variant can be distinguished. The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the image morphological appearance of these rare tumors together with the pathology based upon a retrospective analysis of five of our own cases since 1997. There are no pathognomonic imaging findings for characterizing a gastrointestinal stromal tumor; however, it should be included in the differential diagnosis if one or multiple large, round or ova…
