The pulmonary sequestration is rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a part of lung tissuewhich is supplied by an aberrant systemic artery from the aorta or its branch and usually has no communicationwith the normal bronchial tree. The authors present 3 cases of intralobar pulmonary sequestration, studied by CTand /or US. Typical CT features of intralobar pulmonary sequestration are homogenous or unhomogeneous, relativelylow density lung mass near the diaphragm, having feeding artery from the aorta or branching vessels within themass during bolus injection or dynamic CT.

Of several possible configurations of pin fixation of a displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children, the medial and lateral crossed pinning technique has been known to provide the greatest resistance to gross rotational displacement. A new technique with ipsilateral two lateral crossed pins was devised so as to avoid the ulnar nerve injury with good stability for fracture site. During the period from 1992 to 1994, 18 children with displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus were treated by closed reduction and ipsilateral two lateral crossed pinning. Eighty nine percents of the final results were satisfactory. There were no ulnar nerve injuries and fixation loss in all cases from the treatment. This is a safe, simple and reliable technique for providing the good stability of fracture site as well as avoiding the ulnar nerve injury.

Uterine papillary serous carcinoma is a morphologically distinct variant of endometrial carcinoma that is associated with an aggressive behavior with rapid progression and high recurrence, and poor response to salvage treatment. The most common type of malignancy developing in the uterus after radiation therapy is the malignant mixed mullerian tumor, however, the papillary serous carcinomas have rarely been reported.Here we report a case of uterine papillary serous carcinoma which had developed 7 years after radiation therapy for invasive cervical cancer.

We have experienced a case of pericardial tuberculoma, a very rare disease, with massive pericardial effusion in a 63-year-old veteran. He wdimensional echocardiography. Computed tomographic scans confirmed the presence of a pericardial mass and clinically unsuspected "lung mass". The presence of the lung mass led us a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Surgery confirmed the pericardial mass which revealed tuberculosis by patholohy and loculated pleural effusion at the major fissure, so-called "phantom tumor", not a lung mass.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: The authors performed a retrospective chart review of 13 eyes of 13 patients who developed RPE tears after intravitreal anti-VEGF injection between February 2009 and June 2013. We investigated continuation of the treatment after tear, visual acuity, presence of cystoid macular edema, and central macular thickness (CMT) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) before and after treatment and visual outcomes depending on foveal sparing. RESULTS: After RPE tear, 12 of 13 patients continued injection of an anti-VEGF agent. The average number of injections was 6.08 +/- 5.18. Mean visual acuity immediately after tear was 1.65 +/- 0.8 log MAR, and that at the last visit was 1.82 +/- 0.88 log MAR. Nine eyes with macular edema in OCT continued receiving injection, and improvement of macular edema was observed in four eyes at the final visit. The final visual acuity of patients with foveal involvement was 2.17 +/- 0.49 log MAR, which was worse than the 1.51 +/- 1.06 log MAR in patients without foveal involvement, although the difference was not significant (p = 0.295). CONCLUSIONS: When anti-VEGF injections were continued after RPE tear, no improvement in visual acuity was observed, although better anatomical outcomes did result. Patients with foveal involvement had worse visual acuity than patients without foveal involvement, but the difference was not significant.

A 69-year-old-male patient was admitted because of left upper quadrant (LUQ) abdominal pain He had hard palpable mass (abaut 15x l0cm) in LUQ abdomen and mild elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (349 IU/L) and amylase (216 U/L) levels at the admission time. Abdominal CT scan revealed huge, well-marginated cystic mass in enlarged spleen with increased densities in dependent portion of cystic mass, about 8x13cm in size. Another small well-capsulated. cystic mass in anterior aspect of spleen was also seen. After ERCP, urgent surgical intervention was done. Final diagnosis was chronic pancreatitis with large intrasplenic (l2x9.5 cm) and retroperitoneal pseudocysts. So we are reporting above case with pertinent review of literatures.

Intraventricular cysticercosis is the rest form of cerebral cysticercosis and almost all are within the fourthand third ventricles. Authors have experienced a case of pathologically proven giant intraventricular cysticercalcyst involving the lateral ventricle, studied by conventional CT and metrizamide CT, and report with brief reviewof literature.

PURPOSE: To investigate the visual and anatomical results of surgical treatment for symptomatic lamellar macular hole. METHODS: Ten eyes of ten patients with decreased visual acuity and lamellar macular hole were diagnosed using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Pars plana vitrectomy, epiretinal membrane removal, internal limiting membrane peeling, and gas tamponade (5 eyes) were performed for the treatment of lamellar hole. The resolution of the lamellar hole was assessed in relation to each OCT image at baseline. RESULTS: The mean postoperative follow-up duration was 7.5 months, and best corrected visual acuity improved from log MAR 0.67 +/- 0.38 to log MAR 0.30 +/- 0.28. Central foveal thickness decreased from 441 +/- 184 microm to 291 +/- 64 microm. The OCT of all eyes demonstrated improvement in macular contour. However, retinal detachment in one eye occurred at two months after the operation and was reattached with gas tamponade and photocoagulation. CONCLUSIONS: Vitrectomy, epiretinal membrane removal and internal limiting membrane peeling showed benefit in the treatment of symptomatic lamellar macular hole. However, large and prospective studies are necessary regarding the surgical indication, time and procedure for lamella macular hole.
