    Surg. Gyn. Obstetr., 101/ 2. - Chicago, August 1955, 8°, 9 pp., 1 Fig., orig. brochure. Rare Offprint! "From the Department of Neurological Surgery, University of California School of Medicine, and the Neurosurgical Service of the Franklin Hospital, San Francisco, California. Including Drs. John E. Adams, Edwin B. Boldrey, Howard A Brown, Edward Davis, Howard Fleming, O W Tones Tr Howard C. Naffziger, and Eugene M. Webb." "The present article constitutes a report of 172 eases of intrinsic pituitary tumors anti craniopharyngiomas seen at the University of California and Franklin Hospitals (the majority at the former) from 1913 to 1951. The scries consisted of 100 cases of chromophobe adenoma (77 verified by surgery, 12 presumptive diagnoses, and 11 asymptomatic at autopsy), 33 of acromegaly, 23 of craniopharyngioma, 4 of malignant adenoma, 4 of basophil adenoma, and 8 of metastases to the pituitary. The group does not reflect a uniform method of therapy, for the patients have been treated by different members of the attending1 and resident staffs of the two hospitals over this 38 year period, during which many refinements have taken place in the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions. This fact in itself, we believe, lends value to the series.".

    Arch. Neurol. Psychiat., 33. - Chicago, American Medical Association, May 1935, gr.8°, 18 pp., 11 Fig., orig. self wrappers. Rare Offprint! "Intradural epidermoid and dermoid tumors arising from the conus medullaris and cauda equina are uncommon. In reviewing the reports of large series of cases of tumor of the spinal cord one is impressed by the infrequent occurrence of tumors of this group. In the cases reported in the literature the growths have been classified variously as teratomas, teratoid and epidermoid cysts, cholesteatomas and dermoid tumors, according to the number of germ layers present. According to Ewing's classification teratomas are tumors composed of recognizable tissues and complex organs derived from more than one germ layer. Simple dermoids consist of epidermis, derma and dermal glands, while epidermoid tumors lack definite dermal structures. Tumors of the latter group are usually considered to be of traumatic origin, but certain well defined forms of embryonic derivation are classified as cholesteatomas."

    J. Am. Med. Ass., 136. - Chicago, Januar 10, 1948, 4°, 24 pp., orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint! From the Department of Neurosurgery, University of California Medical School. "Since the end of World War I impressive advances have been made in our knowledge of the biologic characteristics, modes of early diagnosis, and treatment of tumors affecting the nervous system. It is now recognized that these tumors, once considered rare, constitute 2 per cent of all cancers. The early diagnosis of this group has been materially aided by improvement in the knowledge of the physiology of the nervous system as well as by technical developments, notably pneumoencephalography, cerebral angiography, myelography and to some extent electroencephalography. Through improvement of surgical and anesthetic technic the operative mortality in brain tumors is at a Level comparable with that of major surgical operations elsewhere in the body. The percentage of surgically curable tumors is gradually being enlarged. Improvement in roentgen therapy is prolonging the useful life of increasing numbers of patients with nonremovable growths. The side effects of brain tumors have also become controlled more satisfactorily during this period of time. Convulsions, which are one of the most frequent complications of brain tumors, are reduced in frequency or are eliminated entirely by a variety of anticonvulsant drugs which have been developed in recent years. Improved knowledge of endocrine function has minimized the distressing effects of tumors of the intracranial endocrine glands and centers. Developments in these two particular lines have reduced the incidence of psychic disturbance resulting from the projection of endocrine or convulsive disease into the patient's life."

    Arch. Neurol. Psychiat., 29. - Chicago, American Medical Association, March 1933, gr.8°, 24 pp., 11 Fig., orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint! "In the cases of tumor of the spinal cord presented here we are including those which have an intraspinal portion, connected by a small neck with an extraspinal enlargement. While most frequently the communication is through an intervertebral foramen, it may occur through the interlaminal spaces. Intraspinal tumors which are both intradural and extradural, connected by a small constricted stalk through the dura, are placed also in this classification. Destructive metastatic growths are not included in this series. Hour-glass tumors may appear in any location from the atlas to the coccyx. They have received little consideration in the past, and it is the current impression that they are infrequent. Our particular reason for reporting this group is that these tumors appear with such frequency in our patients with compression of the spinal cord from a tumor that the possibility of an hour-glass tumor always must be considered.

"This presentation has to do with reconstructive work necessary to restore the power of swallowing in a patient who has sustained extensive cranial nerve injuries. In 1864. Hughling Jackson called attention to the homolateral paralytic association of larynx, soft palate, tongue and muscle of the neck, particularly the sternomastoid and trapezius. In 1891, Avellis wrote on palate laryngeal hemiplegia, a syndrome which sometimes bears his name. Since then additional articles by Schmidt, Tapia, Broeckaert, have stressed certain features resulting from involvement of the last cranial nerves. Particularly Vernet* and Collet * in 1915 have written on the syndrome of the jugular foramen characterized by involvement of the last three or four cranial nerves. In 1917 Villaret used his term, "the syndrome of the retroparotid space." and included lesions of the sympathetic together with the last four cranial nerves. From World War I similar injuries have been reported." Naffziger, Davis & Bell Naffziger's contributions to the field of neurosurgery were many.

    Surg. Gyn. Obstetr., 40. - April 1925, 4 pp., 5 Figs., orig. wrappers; somewhat stained. Offprint "In 1918, Naffziger went to France with his mentor, Harvey Cushing, as a member of the Allied Expeditionary Force. Cushing's surgical advances were brought to the field hospital by his young disciple. Naffziger summarized the success of battlefield neurosurgery in a manual published by the US Surgeon General at the end of the war. Naffziger returned to San Francisco as Chief of the Surgical Service of Letterman General Hospital, and later to a private practice of neurosurgery, and to the faculty of the University of California. In the 1920s he studied the nature and treatment of subdural hematoma, spinal injuries, and depressed skull fractures. In 1925, he described the phenomenon of the pineal shift on skull x-rays-an important sign for brain tumor localization. In 1935, Alton Ochsner, Mims Gage, and Michael DeBakey of the Tulane Medical School examined the symptomatology attributed to the presence of anomalous cervical ribs and came to the consensus that a hypertrophied or fibrotic scalenus anticus muscle could cause the characteristic shoulder pain and arm pain even in the absence of a cervical rib. Based on Naffziger's earlier explanation of the pathophysiology and his established series of scaleniotomies dating to 1929, the Tulane group dubbed the scalenus anticus syndrome the "Naffziger syndrome."

    No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. Image 5 3/4" x 3 3/4". Matted and framed, under glass. Very Good. The neurosurgeon Howard C. Naffziger (1884-1961) was an assistant resident at Johns Hopkins in 1911-1912, working under Cushing. He was offered a position at the Brigham Hospital in Boston when Cushing moved there from Johns Hopkins, but due to the illness of his mother, Naffziger was unable to accept. John Fulton, in his biography of Harvey Cushing, writes about the work Naffziger did with Cushing at Johns Hopkins: "In June [1913] his [Cushing's] only appearance was for his Shattuck Lecture before the Massachusetts Medical Society on diabetes insipidus (footnote 9). . . ." Footnote 9 reads: " 'Concerning diabetes insipidus and the polyuria of hypophysial origin.' Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, 19 June 1913, 168, 901-910. The material for this lecture was largely based on the experimental work of Goetsch and Jacobson carried out in the Hunterian Laboratory before they went to Boston. Dr. Howard Naffziger who had been on service as Assistant Resident during 1911-1912 (in succession to Goetsch) had worked up such data on diabetes insipidus as were available from the Hopkins pituitary cases. Although the material was not used as such in the Shattuck Lecture, Cushing makes reference to their clinical experience. 'It was my intention, in conjunction with one of my assistants, Dr. Howard C. Naffziger, to make a detailed report of our personal experiences in this direction during the past few years at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and to assemble the past clinical observations which had a bearing on the subject. This intent has been anticipated in large part by the publication, from Minkowski's clinic in Breslau, of an excellent article by E. Frank, in the Berliner klinische Wochenschrift.' Naffziger had been invited to go to Boston with the original Brigham group and had accepted, but the illness of his mother in July 1912 prevented him from going" (John Fulton, Harvey Cushing, pp. 365-366). During WWI in France, Naffziger and Cushing crossed paths in October 1918. In his journal Cushing wrote: "9-p.m. McCarthy and Naffziger from B.H. [Base Hospital] 115 here to-day--also Bagley. We powwow over the establishment of a real Neurological Institute to grow out of the war" (Cushing, From a Surgeon's Journal, p. 481). In May 1917 Cushing had begun to discuss a national institute of neurology. He continued to discuss it over the next two years, while in France during the war, as indicated by the passage quoted above, and after he had returned to the United States. He was prepared to give up his own position at Harvard in order to join such an institute. But by the end of 1919, it became clear there would not be such an institute.
