Permanant ileostomy is necessary in the case of a total proctocolectomy for a cancerous change in the distal rectum due to ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis coli, but the fecal content after a conventional ileostomy is usually liquid or semiliquid. Sometimes, this resultes in dehydration and some nutrient loss. Nahm-gun Oh has designed an antiperistaltic ileostomy for formed stool evacuation. About a 25 cm length of the most distal ileum is cut, this segment is reversed, and then the antiperistaltic ileostomy is performed. The authors have performed antiperistaltic ileostomies in 6 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis or ulcerative colitis with a cancerous change in the low rectum. During the past 5 years and 7 months at the Department of Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital, we found that the profuse ileostomy discharge of the conventional ileostomy was decreased in the antiperistaltic ileostomy group, and that the antiperistaltic ileostomy discharge had a liquid component which was markedly decreased compared to that of the conventional ileostomy discharge. In addition, the antiperistaltic ileostomy discharge appeared to be much more solid and less voluminous. In conclusion, the antiperistaltic ileostomy should be considered for creating the effect of a reservoir by producing intestinal stasis proximal to the segment. The antiperistaltic ileostomy is effective in reducing the daily amount of ileostomy discharge and is convenient for stoma care due to the diminished water content in the discharge.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease with medication as the treatment of choice. However, surgical treatment is recommended when no improvement is noted despite aggressive conservative treatment. Synovectomy provides desirable outcomes for RA patients in the early stage with a glenohumeral joint of Larsen grade II or less; conversely, arthroplasty is recommended for patients with a glenohumeral joint of grade III or higher. RA patients often have attenuation and dysfunction of the rotator cuff, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty has been proven to provide favorable outcomes in some patients. RA is often complicated with osteoporosis and bony deformity; therefore, close attention is necessary to prevent fractures during shoulder arthroplasty.

The congenital cataract is the relatively common cause of the blindness in childhood, and its etiology is multiple but most of etiology is unknown. The inheritance is the largest single category of cause of congenital cataract. The modes of the inheritance are autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked. The autosomal dominant inheritance is the most common type. We experienced hereditary congenital cataract, which transmitted with autosomal dominant inheritance. So we reported this patients with review of literatures.

Double elevator palsy(DEP) is rare paralytic anomaly of ocular motility due to monocular paresis of both elevator muscles. Clinically, DEP is classified into the pure paralytic, restricted and mixed types. The authors describe the clinical experiences of 2 cases of purely paralytic type of DEP and 2 cases of restricted type of DEP treated at Department of Ophthalmology, Pusan Pail, Hospital, Inje Medical College from January 1988 to January 1991. The results were as follows: 1) In the pure paralytic type of DEP, the hypotropia was below 30 prism diopters in the primary position and in the restricted type, greater than 60 prism diopters preoperatively. 2) Preoperatively, the pseudoptosis was shown in 2 cases of purely paralytic type of DEP and it was disappeared postoperatively. The Bell's phenomenon was shown the negative result in 2 cases of restricted type of DEP. 3) For the pure paralytic type, the both vertical and horizontal deviation were corrected completely in primary position by the transposition and recession of the horizontal rectus muscles at one surgery and the limitation of ocular motility remained more and less in the elevation postoperatively but no limitation in the adduction and abduction. For the restricted type, the tenectomy of the inferior rectus muscle corrected about 40 prism diopters of hypotropia without the limitation of the infraduction.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of CT and MR imagings in the diagnosis aortic dissection and differentiation between the true and false lumen. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied forty patients with aortic dissection(AD) diagnosed imagings or surgery. Of the forty patients, 19 were examined with only CT, 14 with CT and MR, and 7 with MI~: Our points of view were(1) the classification of AD according to configuration of intimal flap by cross-sectional imaging, (2) differentiation between the true and false lumens, (3) the course of the false lumen, and (4)! detectability of the origin of major branch vessels of the abdominal aorta. RESULTS: The classification by corss-sectional imaging were crescentic(65%), circumferential(15%), flat(12%), and irregular(8%) type, in which false negative diagnosis was made in 1 case of crescentic and circumferential type, respectively. In 2 case of flat type and 1 case of irregular type, the differentiation between the true and false lumen was impossible with CT. The course of the false lumen in descending thoracic aorta revealed countrclock wise rotation(66%), clockwise rotation(5%) or fixed(29%) apperance. MR imaging was superior to CT in the detection of the origin of major branch vessels of the abdominal aorta. The determination of the origin of major branches of abdominal aorta arising from the true and false lumen were impossible in 2 cases in which only CT was done. CONCLUSION: Diagnosis of crescentic and circumferential types of AD with narrow and thrombosed false lumen was problematic in both CT and MR with no difference of diagnostic accuracy between the two modalities. The differentiation between the true and false lumen was difficult in flat and irregular types with only CT. Therefore, when surgical treatment is considered as in type B aortic dissection, MR imaging is recommended in order to determine the origin of major branch vessels.
