While lipomas are common in the rest of the body, intracranial lipomas are rare condition which are usually found in the midline of the brain. The majority of these lesions show few or even no symptoms and hardly ever produce alarming neurological defects. We experienced a case of corpus callosum lipoma in a 7 year old boy, who has had headache and loss of consciousness twice. He was diagnosed by skull x-rays and brain CT. We made a brief review of literatures. @PG 428.

MDCT has recently been used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate coronary artery stenosis and to detect coronary artery anomalies. The accuracy of MDCT has improved the assessment of stenosis as the number of detectors has increased. In addition to its excellent role in evaluating coronary artery stenosis, MDCT can provide information regarding the left ventricular function without having to perform additional scanning, and the myocardial viability of the left ventricle can be assessed on a delayed scan. MDCT has several disadvantages such as the amount of radiation exposure and the use of an iodine contrast medium, which might cause an adverse reaction, when combined with the reconstruction of the systolic and diastolic phases and the delayed scan. Yet MDCT may provide the opportunity to evaluate the coronary anatomy, the left ventricular function and the tissue characterization in one single imaging session that lasts less than 15 minutes.

We selected 123 cases of general anesthesia and 227 cases of local anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery, which were divided into three age groups, and checked pulse rate changes in various states: before anesthesia, during operation, and after operation. The results were as follows; 1) Marked decrease was seen in pulse rate during operation in all groups. 2) Pulse rate decrease was seen in 72,4 of all cases during operation, compared with before operation. 3) They revealed a marked pulse rate decrease in general and regional anesthesia, 874J and 68% respectively. 4) Children and the elderly group showed a more marked pulse rate decrease than the adult group during operation. 5) Extraocular operation showed pulse rate decrease more markedly than in ocular procedures.

Pleomorphic adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland is a rare malignant epithelial tumor. It is commonly metastasize to regional lymph node at early stage and sometimes to the lungs and bone. A 64-year-old man visited with complaints of progressive orbital protrusion and visual disturbance on his left eye for five months. CT scans demonstrated a huge mass on the superotemporal portion of the left orbit. Histopathological diagnosis of pleomorphic adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal gland was made. Bone scintigram and chest CT scans demonstrated distant metastases to the bone and lungs. We report a case of malignant mixed tumor of the lacrimal gland with mltiple distance metastases.

We have experience with one case of peroneal nerve palsy following ureterolithotomy in a 63-year old male patient who has suffered from diabetes and hypertension since 5 years ago. He also has suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis for 30 years. On admission, he had pain, numbness, and burning sensations in the lower extrernities. Blood pressure was 200/100 mm Hg and fasting blood glucose was 165 mg/100 ml. Urinary glucose was ++ by Klini test. Premedication was done by chloropromazine(39mg) and atropine(0. 6mg) intramuscularly. General anesthesia was begun with thiopental, pancuronium and SCC, and maintained with halothane and N2O by semi-closed circle system. Ureterolithotomy was performed with the patient in right kidney position for 3 hours and 20 minutes, Two days post-operatively, we noticed right foot-drop and limitation of dorsiflexion of the great toe. The patient recovered after physiotheraphy for 3 months. The incidence of nerve palsy is very low in patients without complications but we note that diabetes can be a factor in nerve palsy.
