Rheumatoid arthritis is a kind of collagen diease and involves many joints and extra-articular systems-heart, respiratory system, central nervous system, skin and reticuloendothelial system. The peripheral corneal ulcer is a rare chracteristic ocular finding in rheumatoid arthritis. Generally this ulcer is combined with minimal inflammation and vascularization. The local corticosteroid therapy is of no value and may be harmful. Collagenase inhibitor, hydrophylic contact lens. heparin therapy, limbal conjunctivectomy have been tried for treatment of this ulcer. The authors experienced a case of peripheral corneal ulcer in rheumatoid arthritis which responded to systemic corticosteroid therapy.

We have analyzed utrasonographic finding of 55 cases of hydronephrosis and 34 cases of renal maasses. The results are as follows; 1. 55 cases of hydronephrosis revealed renal enlargement in 55 cases, separation of central echo complex in 27 cases, multiple anechoic areas radiating from the center in 25 cases and dilated renalpelvis in 24 cases. 2. Among the renal masses in 34 cases, simple renal cyst were 15 cases, polycystic kidney in 8 cases, hypernephroma in 8 cases, Wilms' tmor in 2 cases and angiomyolipoma in 1 case. 3. Simple renal cystrevealed single in 14 cases (93%) and well defined anechoic mass with posterior enhancement in all cases. 4. Polycystic kidney revealed bilateral irregular shaped renal enlargement and multiple anechoic cysts throughout the kidney. 2 cases (25%) involved liver. 5. 6 cases (75%) of hypernephroma revealed ill defined modarately echogenicmass without posterior enhancement. 6. All cases of Wilms' tumor revealed well defined large mixed echogenic massin right kidney. 7. Angiomyolipoma revealed bilateral dense echogenic mass with large hemorrhagic cyst in rightkidney. 8. The ultrasonography is useful noninvasive diagnostic modality of evaluation of renal masses and hydronephrosis.

BACKGROUND: Intermittent rhythmic delta activity (IRDA) is classified as a nonspecific abnormal EEG pattern. IRDA is clinically associated with alteration of consciousness, hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, deep midline lesions, subcortical lesions, and tumors of the posterior fossa and the third ventricle. Frontal IRDA(FIRDA) is usually seen in patients over age 15 years, whereas occipital IRDA(OIRDA) occurs mainly in children. We have investigated the clinical feature and significance of IRDA in children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 36 children with IRDA of EEG concerning diagnosis, neurologic examination, classification of epilepsy, and CT & MRI findings. RESULTS: 1) The location of the IRDA was frontal(FIRDA) in 11 of 36(30.5%), occipital(OIRDA) in 20 of 36(55.6%) and mixed in 5 of 36(13.9%) patients. 2) Thirty of 36(83.3%) have epilepsy (including 1 each with MELAS and tuberous sclerosis), 4 of 36(11.1%) have migraine and 2 of 36(11.1%) patients have meningitis. 3) Sixteen of 30(53.3%) have partial or partial with secondary generalized seizure, 10 of 30(33.3%) have generalized seizure and 4 of 30(13.3%) patients with epilepsy have absence seizure. 4) Neuroimaging studies (CT or MRI scan) were performed in 27 cases. Among 27 cases of studies, 6 cases(22.2%) were abnormal including; two cases of infections, and each case of infarction, venous angioma, arachnoid cyst, cortical atrophy, and tuberous sclerosis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: IRDA may be considered an epileptiform pattern in childhood and FIRDA is frequently seen in children than previous reports.
