There are several EKG changes in cerebrovascular disease(CVD). The wide prominent of inverted T wave is frequently developed in patients with CVD. There were case reports for CVD in patient with ST-segment elevation without myocardial infarction, but the exact mechanism is unknown. EKG abnormalities associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage were first described by Byer et al, in 1947.1 We report the case of 72 years old female patient who developed subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage with ST-segment elevation.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence of orthopaedic injuries and develop guidelines for routine radiologic examinations in patients with traumatic brain injury in order to reduce the incidence of delayed diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For this study, 175 out of 720 traumatic brain injury patients, who were treated at Sun General Hospital from May 1994 through December 1997, were analyzed. The incidences of musculoskeletal injury and delayed diagnosis were checked. RESULTS: Clavicle fracture occurred most frequently, followed by tibia-fibular fracture, femur fracture, pelvic fracture or hip fracture-dislocation, axial spine fracture, radius-ulnar fracture, knee ligament injury, fracture of the hand and humerus. The overall incidence of delayed diagnosis was 14 percent (24 patients) . And multiple (more than 2) injuries occurred in 43 patients (24%) . CONCLUSION: The data of this study suggest that a radiologic survey, including X-rays of chest, long bones of the lower extremites, pelvis (both hips) and entire axial spine, should be obtained in patients with traumatic brain injury. Also careful examination of the knee should be included.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of the surgical treatment through the comparison of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) and Intramedullary (IM) nailing in the treatment of the tibial shaft fractures expended to metaphysis retrospectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with proximal or distal third fracture of tibial shaft from May 2003 to Aug. 2006 were divided into two groups depending on the surgical method. Group A consisted of 30 patients treated with IM nailing, Group B was 29 patients treated with MIPO. The clinical outcomes were evaluated retrospectively from the time for bone union and callus formation confirmed by X-ray, functional score of knee or ankle joint, and complications including nonunion, malalignment and infection. RESULTS: Bone union was seen radiologically at a mean of 17.4 weeks in group A, and 17.0 weeks in group B. In postoperative complications, group A showed two nonunion, two delayed-union, six malalignment, and two wound infection while group B showed only one delayed-union and one wound infection. CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the time for bony union and functional score between IM nailing and MIPO. Conventional IM nailing with only interlocking technique showed higher incidence of malalignment and deformity than MIPO for the treatment of the proximal or distal third fracture of the tibial shaft.
