✓ Shortly after birth, an otherwise healthy infant developed eye deviation and ptosis due to a hamartomatous lesion of the interpeduncular segment of the right oculomotor nerve. The left nerve became similarly involved when the child was 1.5 years of age. Direct nerve repair was not possible. Instead, the trochlear nerve was divided and its proximal end was attached to the distal end of the third nerve. Elevation of the upper eyelid and partial adduction of the eye developed gradually over the ensuing 3 to 5 months. Both functions were lost after an additional 2 months, presumably as a result of tumor recurrence or neuroma formation. This case report shows that surgically created fourth—third cranial nerve communication is feasible and may merit consideration under similar circumstances.

The concept of functional interaction between mast cells and intestinal afferents is gaining support. We have therefore characterized the action of histamine on jejunal afferent discharge in the anesthetized rat. Whole nerve mesenteric afferent discharge was recorded in conjunction with intestinal pressure in response to a range of histamine agonists and antagonists. Histamine at 2, 4, and 8 μmol/kg (iv) evoked a dose-dependent biphasic increase in afferent discharge together with a biphasic rise in intestinal pressure. However, these two events were mediated independently, since nifedipine (1 mg/kg) substantially reduced the intestinal pressure increase but not the afferent discharge. These responses were completely inhibited by pyrilamine (5 mg/kg) but unaffected by ranitidine (5 mg/kg) or thioperamide (2 mg/kg). Neither the selective H2receptor agonist dimaprit nor the selective H3receptor agonist R-α-methylhistamine caused any modulation of afferent discharge. We conclude that histamine stimulates an H1receptor-mediated increase in mesenteric afferent discharge that is independent of intestinal motor events. This suggests that histamine potentially acts as a mediator in mast cell-to-afferent nerve communication in the small intestine.
