While diverticulosis of the colon is a relatively common disease, a solitary giant colonic diverticulum is rare. Although there exist some theories about the formation of the giant colonic diverticulum, none is really conclusive. The preoperative diagnosis of giant colonic diverticulum is made radiographically with findings of a large, smoothly marginated, round homogeneous radiolucency in the abdomen that is in close apposition to the colon on barium enema examination. Early surgical treatment is necessary since the complication rate is high. One case of giant colonic diverticulum is presented, the clinical, radiologic and pathologic findings are discussed, and the etiology and differential diagnosis, reviewe.

Canaliculitis is an uncommon condition. It is often difficult to diagnose because of its chronicity and its multitude of clinical presentations. We reviewed the nature, the diagnosis and therapy of six patients of chronic lacrimal canaliculitis. Bacteriologic investigation showed one case of E. coli, one case of alpha-hemolytic streptococcus, two of coagulase-negative staphylococcus and no growth to be seen in two cases. On dacryocystography, canalicular diverticulum were found in three cases. Five patients were treated with conservation therapy and one case improved with surgical treatment. Canaliculitis can be diagnosed by clinical features and dacryocystography. Conservative therapy should take priority to surgical treatment.

A duodenal diverticulum is common in the second portion of the duodenum and can occur at any age. An obstruction, bleeding, perforation, diverticulitis are not an uncommon complicationa of duodenal diverticulum. As a rare complication, bleeding in the duodenal diverticulum may be massive, and duodenal diverticulum is resected primarily as a result of the difficulty in determining the site of bleeding. However, there has been a recent increase in endoscopic diagnosis and the treatment of diverticular bleeding. Band ligation increases the risk of duodenal diverticular perforation because of the thin diverticular wall. An endoscopic hemoclip is a preferable method for endoscopic sclerotherapy. We report a 48- year-old man with a giant duodenal diverticulum that was treated with a hemoclip. The duodenal diverticular perforation was treated effectively with supportive care.

Tuberculosis of the esophagus is rare. We experienced four patients with esophageal tuberculosis proven by esophagoscopic biopsy or surgical specimens. Case 1 was a patient with primary esophageal tabereulosis, case 2 was a patient with teberculous esophagobronchial fistula and case 3,4 were patients with esoyhageal perforation due to tuberculous traetion diverticulum of the esophagus. The clinical, radiological and esapbagoscopic findings may be nonspecific in diagnosis of esophageal tuberculosis. Therefore early diagnosis should be rested on a high index of suapieion and a cautious attention.

Esophageal diverticulum is a disease that occurs mainly in adults. According to its location, it is named as pharyngoesophageal, paratracheal and epiphrenic diverticulum. Epiphrenic diverticulum is especially accompanied with esophageal leiomyoma sometimes. In this case. esophageal leiomyoma is combined with suhphrenic diverticulum. The authors present the case with review of literature. The diagnosis of subphrenic diverticulum was confirmed by esophagogastroscopy with biopsy, esophagogram and abdominal CT. Postoperative findings showed it to be accompanied with esophageal leiomyoma.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a new method enabling noninvasive diagnosis of small bowel diseases. There have been few studies examining the possibility of interobserver variation according to proficiency. We evaluated the interobserver variability between expert and novice for reviewing CE images. METHODS: Among patients who were taken CE from June 2003 to July 2003, twenty patients were randomly selected. Captured images were assessed by an expert and a novice separately. The expert has experience of more than 150 CE interpretation and the novice only had experience in performing EGD and colonoscopy. The novice had trained on interpretation of the CE with 5 cases before this study. Interobserver agreement was evaluated using kappa coefficient. RESULT: CE findings were divided into normal/ abnormal groups. Abnormal groups were classified into small focal, large focal, multiple diffuse, structural deformity groups. Compared with the expert, the novice missed 2 cases (Meckel's diverticulum and angiodysplasia). There was no disagreement in other cases. CONCLUSION: There is 90% (18/20) interobserver agreement between the expert and the novice for the interpetation of findings CE (k=0.737). Normal findings and diffuse large lesions tended to have higher concordance, whereas small focal lesion and structural deformities were more likely to be a source of disagreement.
