The capillary hemangioblastoma, as originally defined by Lindau and by Cushing and Bailey, is widely regarded as being of Vascular origin and relatively uncommon. The most frequent site of this neoplasm is the cerebellum and second frequency is the spinal cord. We experienced a case of capillary hemangioblastoma arising at the upper thoracic spinal cord with the paraplegia and the sensory disturbance below the nipple line. The total laminectomy with mass excision was taken and the patient have shown good improvement of the neurological defecits in postoperative period.

To determine the comparative accuracy of two Doppler tests, the findings of 38 patients who had undergone a complete evaluation by supraorbital Doppler test, frontal Doppler test and angiography were studied. When stenosis of 60 percent or more in diameter was considered as a true positive finding, the Doppler tests of 76 internal carotid arteries of the 38 patients showed the following results. Supraorbital Doppler test: eight false positive, three false negative, and 65 correct findings, with an overall accuracy of 85%. The authors, therefore, concluded that the suprorbital Doppler test was more sensitive and accurate than the frontal Doppler test in screening the patients with possible carotid artery occulusive diseases.

Mandibular retrusion showing the facial problem with a marked maxillarry incisors protrusion and chin deficiency, resulting in a highly convex profile is uncommon in Korea.. The large incisor overjet and deep-bite create functional limitations and unpleasing esthetic result. The majority of theses cases are susceptible to correction by orthodontic therapeutic methods. But severe Class II retrognathic cases in which orthodontic treatment alone has not been capable of achieving good results. Orthognathic surgery offers several approaches. In this case, mandibular advancement by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy and augmentation genioplasty has a special surgical problems. The suprahyoid muscle gorup are lengthened if the body of the mandible is surgically repositioned anteriorly. Instability of results and relapse return to original position shoud predicted during post-surgical muscular readjustment.. To maintain maximum correction with this technique, it is suggested that the mandibular body be well rotated forward at time of surgical intervention and overcorrected anteriory as much as possible. So, the authors report the case with review of concerned literature.

Authors reviewed the clinical features and diagnostic approaches in 70 patients of cysticercosis who had been diagnosed at Seoul National University Hospital from 1978 to 1982. The ages of the 70 patients ranged from 4 to 65 years at the time of the diagnosis (mean age 36.9years) with 62.9 percent between the age 20 and 50 years. Male were more frequently involved than female (2:1). Forty-seven patients (67.1%) presented with neurological symptoms and signs, among which epileptic seizures (66%) was the most common one. Subcutaneous nodules were observed in 36 patients (50.1%) and 24 patients of them had no abnomal clinical findings other than subcutaneous nodules. Computed tomography (CT), employed in 46 patients, showed multiple low densties in 31 patients (67.4%).
