PURPOSE: The purposes of this study are to discribe the high-resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) findings of pulmonary histiocytosis X and to evaluate the relationship between the extent of the lesion on HRCT and pulmonary function test (PFT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the HRCT findings of 8 patients with pathologically proved pulmonary histiocytosis X. The morphological pattern and incidence of the lesions were evaluated. The extent of the lesions were correlated with the results of PFT by calculating Spearman correlation. RESULTS: The most common HRCT findings were thick-walled cysts (n=8) followed by nodules (n=7). Other associated findings were reticulation, ground-glass opacification, and conglomerate nodules. The extent of the disease on HRCT was correlated inversely with percent predicted value of functional vital capacity. CONCLUSION: Common HRCT findings of pulmonary histiocytosis X were cysts with irregular wall thickening and nodules. The extent of the disease on HRCT correlated with the severity of restrictive pattern of PFT.

Targetoid hemosideric hemangioma represents a distinctive, benign, vascular tumor. Histologically, it is a noncircumscribed vascular proliferation that may extend into the subcutaneous tissue. The superficial component is composed of ectactic dermal vascular lumina with intradermal papillary projections. The deeper component is composed of angular lumina dissecting collagen bundles. We present a case of targetoid hemosideric hemangioma which was presented as solitary nodule on left thigh.

Transcranial cerebral oximetry has been successfully used in a variety of neurosurgical conditions, primarily those associated with disturbed cerebral circulation. It has been also used in intraoperative monitoring of aortic dissection and surgical procedures performed under deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. During disending aortic arch exposure, sudden cerebral oxygen saturation change from 63% to 48% was detected. After therapeutic bypass, cerebral oxygen saturation was increased to 65%. During aortic arch repair, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion was applied for 130 min and cerebral oxygen saturation slowly decreased from 65% to 52%. Patient was discharged from hospital without neurologic complication and cognitive funtion disturbance.
