This case report describes a patient who had a foreign body in transverse sinus. A 35-year-old Korean-Chinese man visited the emergency room with lacerated wound in left eyelid and a foreign body which was stumbled upon in the skull. On examination, there was right side hemianopsia in his left eye. He did not complain any headache or show any abnormal neurological signs, but there was a foreign body at left transverse sinus in computed tomography which was taken at another hospital. There was no intracranial abnormality except the foreign body in computed tomography. Because of the financial problem, additional evaluations were not possible. We herein report a strange case in which the pathway of a foreign body to locate in transverse sinus was ambiguous, and suggest that the foreign body located in transverse sinus might have been the penetrated along the anterior fontanelle and passed through the superior sagittal sinus.

Magrjetic resonance (MR) imagings with 0.15 Tesla resistive magnet developed by Korea Advanced Institute of 5cience were performed in 27 patients with various neurologic diseases and compared with X-ray computed tomography (CT). The purpose óf the paper is to evaluate the image quality, the diagnostic value and limitation, and the optimal pulse sequence of MR imagings with a resistive magnet. The MR images were obtained by using a variety of pulse sequence with spin echo technique includïng saturation recovery, T2-weighted spin echo, and/or inversion recovery with various pulse repetition(TR) and echo delay (TE) times. The M R imaging demonstrated the capability of detecting the lesions shown on CT in all cases and also detected an additional finding in one case (multiple sclerosis) which was not seen on CT. The MR imaging appeared to be more useful than CT in the evaluation of syringomyelia of spinal cord and white matter disease, while it failed to demonstrate small calcific lesion or inflammatory nodule (less than 1 cm) shown on CT and has shown somewhat poor contrast resolution in the case of meningioma. The spatial resolution of saturation recovery images was similar or superior to CT, whereas the contrast resolution of saturation recovery was inferior to CT. While the saturation recovery images have shown false negative findings in 5 patients (19%), the inversion recovery and T2-weighted spin echo have shown consistently positive findings. The inversion recovery and T2-weighted spin echo images demonstrated better contrast discrimination between normal and pathologic conditions than the saturation recovery images, but somewhat poorer spatial resolution. Authors suggest that the MR images of both the saturation recovery with 300/30 and T2-weighted spin echo with 1000/90 be used as a routine procedure and additional iversion recovery of 1300/300/30 sequence as a option if white matter disease is suspected.

A notching deformity of the vermilion is one of the most common secondary lip deformities following unilateral cleft lip repair. It is due to inadequate approximation of the orbicularis marginalis muscle, vertical scar contracture, and inappropriate adjustment and suturing of the vermilion. During the primary repair, symmetric construction of vermilion is difficult. This is because the thickness and shape of the vermilion is different on both sides of the cleft. To prevent notching deformity of the vermilion, authors designed the incision line such as Tongue-in-Groove on the vermilion and has been utilizing this technique for the last several years and obtained quite satisfactory results. Hereby we present the technique and result.
