Congenital anomalies of the hand were reviewed, which were treated at Seoul National University Hospital from 1973 to 1982. The Conclusions are as follows. 1. Polydactyly is the most common congenital anomaly of the hand in this series. The next common congenital hand anomalies are trigger digit, syndactyly in that order. 2. Better results had been obtained with early reconstructive surgery within one year after birth. 3. Authors propose a new classification of polydactyly. In Joint type (type 1), the extradigit has its own epiphysis in its origin,and in Epiphyseal plate type (type 2) the extradigit do not have its own epiphyseal plate and seems to be derived from the physis of the more developed adjacent digit. We observed 22 cases of joint type and 10 cases of epiphyseal plate type. 4. 6 cases of macrodactyly had been observed. The complicated reconstructive surgery such as Tsuge and Barsky operation resulted in digital necrosis. So more simple and effective operation such as symphalangization would be attempted.

It had heen emphasized the necessity for upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examinations in patients. Who has had gastrectomy and presents persisting gastrointestinal symptoms. This study was conducted to evaluate endoscopic findings and clinical symptoms in patients following gastrectomy. (continue...)

Craniofacial clefts are rare among facial anomalies with an incidence of 1.5 to 5 per 100,000 births, and 1 per 100 cases of cleft lip and palate. The Tessier No. 7 clefts are unusual lesions that result from failure of the embryonic mandibular and maxillary processes to properly fuse and form the corners of the mouth. We experienced a case of Tessier No. 7 craniofacial cleft in a 1 day-old female patient who presented with a macrostomia and auricular malformation. The diagnosis was established by clinical and radiographic findings. A brief review of literature was made.

A patient had total occlusion of the left main coronary artery that was proved by coronary arteriography. Patients with total occlusion of the left main coronary artery have a varying clinical presentation and may have prolonged survival. In patients with good collaterals, left ventricular function may be preserved. This report reveiws the clinical and angiographic findings of a patient with occlusion of the left main coronary artery with symptoms of unstable angina pectoris but without congestive heart failure or EKG evidence of myocardial infarction.

The usual form of neurofibromatosis is characterized by cafe-au-Iait skin pigmentation and pedunculated fibrous skin tumors but in the severe form, malformations and tumors of the central nervous system may be associated with von Recklinghausen's disease. Schwannoma of the spinal sensory roots, of the vestibular part of 8th cranial nerve, and of the sensory root of the 5th cranial nerve are particularly common. Outside the central nervous system, other neuroectodermal tumors may develop including renal, pancreas, and suprarenal tumors. Recently, neurofibromatosis is subdivided into type 1 and 2, according to the site of involvement. Type 1 is classic von Recklinghausen's disease, and type 2 represents bilateral acoustic neurinomas. The authors experienced 2 cases neurofibromatosis type 1 and 1 case of neurofibromatosis type 2 in which neurofibromas involve both cerebello-pontine angles, multiple levels of spinal cord and cauda equina.
