1.Two Cases of Conjunctival Cyst Following Retinal Detachment Surgery.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1980;21(4):603-605
Traumatic implantation cyst of the conjunctiva has often been reported. We have observed two cases of conjunctival cyst following surgery of retinal detachment. A small vesicular lesion developed at the operation site of the conjunctiva about 5 weeks after the surgery. The cyst filled with clear fluid was located deep in the subconjunctival connective tissues. The wall of the cyst consisted of a few layers of epithelial cells very similar to the conjunctival epithelium and had not any direct connection with the overlying conjunctival epithelium. In order to prevent it a great care must be taken during surgery. A careful accurate apposition of the conjunctival wound will be required. An excessive and forceful retraction of the conjunctival flap for exposure of the operation field should be avoided. And also, an appropriate suture material (i.e. a round, tapered needle with smooth surfaced suture) seems to be necessary.

The authors performed a retrospective review to find out optimal treatment plan in infantile fistula-in-ano. There were seventy-one patients in a 2-year period. All were male and other clinical characteristics were similar to previous reports. The onset in 60 patients(97%) of the cases was in the first 1 year of alee, especially in the first 3 months(52%). We investigated patterns of disease progression in multiple-lesion cases(19cases 29%). In 5 out of 9 cases of which we could identify the patterns, new lesion developed from 1 month to 4 months after index lesion. Fifty Patients underwent fistulotomy under principle of early surgical intervention, No recurrence was found except 2cases who needed second operation during 30 months of median follow-up(23~48 months). In 21 patients whose parents did not want operation, we performed simple drainage and followed-up. Six out of 12 patients who could be communicable had no fistula-related symptoms from 20 months to 31 months. This suggests that simple drainage has therapeutic effect in some portion of infantile abscess. We conclude that simple drainage should be initial treatment of choice in infantile perianal abscess. We suggest that definite operation for recurrent abscess and fistula with relatively mild symptoms should be delayed until 1-year of age because of interval ccurrence of multiple lesions and therapeutic effect of simple drainage.

Amyopathic dermatomyositis is defined by characteristic cutaneous manifestation of dermatomyositis without evidence of muscle involvement. There is no clinical difference between dermatomyositis and amyopathic dermatomyositis. Pulmonary involvement of dermatomyositis is so frequent than aggressive dianostic and therapeutic approach is needed. Early steroid or immunosuppresive treatment in pulmonary involvement of dermatomyositis gets better prognosis. Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment is an effective and safe alternative when the steroid or immunosuppresive treatment is ineffective or intolerable. We are reporting a case of amyopathic dermatomyositis with interstitial lung disease. This patient was improved with intravenous immunoglobulin treatment.

It is well known that the mortality rate is very high in the patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD). The most common cause of death in the ischemic CVD patients is myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic significance of myocardial perfusion SPECT for coronary artery disease (CAD) in ischemic CVD. We studied in 64 patients with transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke diagnosed by means of the clinical history and brain CT and MRI. Electrocardiography, myocardial perfusion SPECT and coronary angiography were performed. We checked hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcohol drinking and hyperlipidemia as the risk factors in ischemic CVD and CAD. The myocardial perfusion SPECT was abnormal in 37 out of 64 patients(57.8%) with ischemic CVD. There was a increasing tendency in the prevalence of myocardial perfusion abnormality in the elderly patients (more than 65 years old). The incidence of abnormal myocardial perfusion SPECT was not significantly different among TIA, lacunar infarction, minor infarction and major infarction. The long standing hypertension and hyperlipidemia were siginificant risk factors in the ischemic CVD and CAD as having the abnormal myocardial perfusion SPECT (p<0.05). There were not significantly different between resting EKG and myocardial perfusion SPECT results. Coronary artery stenosis was identified in 5 out of 7 patients receiving coronary arteriography. The results suggested that ischemic stroke is frequently associated with coronary artery disease. So myocardial perfusion SPECT as an active investigation for CAD in Ischemic CVD should be considered in order to optimal management.

Kimura's disease is an uncommon, chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It is an important category of reactive lymphadenopathy in the oriental population. The most common sites are the subcutis of the head and neck, and parotid gland. It's clinical course is benign nature. The treatment modalities for this disease are steroid therapy, radiation therapy and surgical excision. We experienced a case of soft tissue mass in the left arm. It was slightly tender and relatively movable. We excised the mass, which was turned out to be Kimura's disease on microscopic examination.

Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus, but it still occurs rarely, as compared with the incidence of cacinoma. There are no geographic or racial differences and manifestations are unusual and inconsistent. About 97% of the esophageal leiomyoma may oecur in intramural type and 1 of the tumor may be polypoid type. Considerable diagnostic problems may arise as well as problems of proper surgical management. We experienced a case of a 47-year old female with esophageal leiomyoma in the mid- point of the esophagus. The patient complained of substernal discomfort for 1 month and routine examinatian and gastrofiberscope were performed. The gastrofiberscopic finding was asmoothly protruded, round bean-sized polypoid mass in the midpoint of the esophagus which was removed by polypectomy. There were no other complications. So we reported this case with review of literature.
