The times of passage of the first stool and urine in the newborn infant are important because delayed micturition may indicate urinary tract pathology and failure to pass meconium may be an early sign of intestinal obsturuction. Times of first void and first stool in 180 consecutive low birth weight, premature infant born at Seoul National University Hospital during 44 months from January 1976 to August 1979 were recorded. Available data were gathered with regard to gestional age.The aim was to determine the relation of the first void and first stool to gestational age, mode of delivery, initial feeding and Apgar score. All infants voided by 34 hours with a tendency for preterm woid early. There was a delay in the passage of the meconium by the low birth weight, premature infant as compared with full term infant.Smaller gestational age group tended to pass the meconium late in all groups and early feeding group tended to pass the first meconium and the first void early. But there was no differences of the time of the first meconium and first urination between Apgar score or mode of delivery.If meconium passage did not occur within 24 hours after birth, close observations were needed.But Failure of low birth weight infants to pass meconium by 36 hours shoul call for examination to determine the cause of delay of meconium passage. Similarly, close observation of all premature who have not voided for 24 hours is indicated.

The author have statistically observed growth pattern of LBW infants born at NMC obstetric ward for 4 years form Jan. 1972 rtrough Dec, 1975. LBW infants were divided ino 2 groups, preterm and small-for-date infants and compared with normal full-term delivered infants group for height and weight. Following results were obtained 1) As compared with NFD infants group, preterm infants group revealed ststistically meaningful difference in height and weight until 5-6 months of age. Thereafter no difference was noticed. But, SFD group showed difference in height and weight until 1 year of age. 2) Preterm infants group was found to have a greater growth velocity than SFD group in 4-7 months of age, SFD group showed relatively similar increment of height and weight with NFD group. 3) Mean heght and weight of LBW infants were below NFD gronp until 1 year of age. Growth velocity ws similar with NFD group, so handicaps of LBW infants were not overcome statistically during 1 year after birth.

Neurofibromatosis, or von Recklinghausen's disease, is a hereditary, harmartomatous disorder that primarilyinvolves neuroectoderm and mesoderm. The estimated incidence is 1 in 2,500 to 3,000 births. The clinical featuresare skin manifestations such as cafe-au-lait spots, skeletal manifestations primarily in volving vertebrae,central and peripheral nervous manifestations, and other associated abnormalities with increased risk ofmalignancy. The authors analysed the radiologic findings of 18 cases of patients with neurofibromatosis whovisited Pusan Kosin Medical Center and Taegu Dongsan Medical Center during the last five years. All were proven bysurgery, biopsy and other diagnostic criteria. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The male ot female ratiowas 11:7 and the age ranged from 11 months to 51 years. 2. All the cases fulfilled the diagnotic criteria of Croweand associates. 3. Bone manifestations were present in 44% of the cases. The other radiologic findings wereintrathoracic meningocele, bilateral acoustic neurinomas, mediastinal or chest wall mass shadows, and peripheralsoft tissue masses. 4. One of the soft tissue masses was proved to be malignant.

Transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly in which both testes descend through one inguinal canal and are in the same side of the scrotum. A case report of transverse testicular ectopia with incomplete regression of Mullerian duct in a 11 months old boy is detailed with a brief review of literature.
