“…Besides chromosome abnormalities [14], viral infections [3,6,11], intracranial foreign bodies [10] and radiation [12,13], severe head injury is assumed to be a rare but possible cause of meningioma development [1,9]. In particular a traumatic event in the past history can result in a forensic assessment of a causal connection with considerable financial consequences for insurances or the patient's relatives.…”

The case of a 41-year-old pregnant woman is reported who was found dead in her apartment 5 months after she had suffered a severe head injury due to a car accident. An autopsy, a meningioma (4 cm in diameter) was found localized in the right parieto-temporal region which had probably caused an epileptic seizure leading to central dysfunction and to death. The criteria concerning the diagnosis of a traumatic meningioma are discussed. In the present case, a causal connection between a former head trauma and the development of the tumor had to be refuted.

By using an appropriate scheme, various combinations of losses and gains of chromosomes I and II arising in oocytes of Drosophila melanogaster were obtained. The frequencies of these combinations can be arranged as special sequences or patterns which we call "aneuploidy patterns." Aneuploidy patterns were established for spontaneous, colchicine-induced, and X-ray-induced exceptions and were shown to be highly specific for the agent tested. Such patterns can be obtained very quickly, because only exceptional progeny survive. By establishing aneuploidy patterns for chemical agents one would get information of the "aneuploidizing" action of the compounds tested.
