2.Development and future of epilepsy surgery in Korea
Neurology Asia 2007;12(Supplement 2):13-16
Epilepsy surgery in Korea began as early as in the 1940s and continued to develop through the second
half of the 20th century. Introduction of neuroimaging modalities, establishment of epilepsy monitoring
units and the epilepsy team approach contributed to the rapid development. �or about 300�- 400 operations

neurosurgeons in Korea. However, Korean neurosurgeons should adapt themselves to changing recent
trends. Etiologies of epilepsy have dramatically changed from head trauma and infectious diseases to
tumors and developmental abnormalities. Although traditional resective surgery still constitutes the
main bulk of the operations, new therapeutic procedures based on neuro�modulation are emerging as
alternative treatments. There should also be participation in basic science research which would
leads to future innovations in treatment of epilepsy.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior and interest. Sleep problems are not uncommon in children with autism spectrum disorders. Symptoms of insomnia are the most frequent sleep problems in individuals with ASD. Sleep problems can cause significant difficulties in the daily life of children with ASD and their families. Genetic factor, deregulations of melatonin synthesis, extraneous environmental stimuli and psychiatric and medical conditions may cause sleep problems. The first line treatment of sleep problems in ASD includes managements for potential contributing factors and parent education about sleep hygiene care for child and behavioral therapy. Supplementation with melatonin may be effective before considering other medications, such as risperidone, clonidine, and mirtazapine.

Reconstruction of the auricle is one of the most fastidious fields in plastic and reconstructive facial surgery, because the ear is made up of complex cartilage framework arid its thin skin envelope. Insertion of carved rib cartilage is the most popular method for framework fabrication. But it has some disadvantages such as donor site morbidity, lesser flexibility of rib cartilage, difficulty in carving structure and distortion of cartilage after calving. Furthermore surgeon's talent and sufficient practice are necessary for a satisfactory result. So we introduced the concept of perichondral graft to improve the framework fabrication. In 1972 Skoog and associates reported that free perichondral grafts could be used to produce new cartilage. And several other reports supported the chondrogenesis of free perichondral graft. We molded the human ear using silicone rubbed impression material. And the eat mold was wrapped up in perichodrium of rabbit ear and placed in a subcutaneous pocket in formes of graft and flap. Six and eight weeks later, rabbits were sacrified and the newly formed cartilage framework was harvested. Grossly it showed the same appearance as the human eat and elastic property of normal cartilage. In histologic examination, it showed mature structure of normal cartilage; large lacunae containing spherical chondrocytes surrounded by well defined capsule.

For many years, healing membranous bone fractures have been known to show a persistent lucency at the fracture interface. Radiographic follow-up has proven to be of little value as a guideline for healing of mandibular fractures. Recently, a fracture has been treated by rigid internal fixation by metallic plate and screws rather than closed reduction and wire fixation, we expected that some difference in the radiographic features of fracture healing. To investigate these questions we undertook a retrospective radiographic and clinical analysis of 33 followed patients with fractures of the body and angle of the mandible from 1993 to 1997. There were 26 male and 7 female patients ranging in age between 5 and 74 years, with an average of 29.7 years. All patients were managed by open reduction with metallic plates and screws. The length of follow-up ranged from 9 to 187 weeks. Total 81 radiographic follow-up films were obtained and divided into 3 grades according to the degree of radiolucency of fracture lines; grade 0 radiolucent fracture line and no evidence of fracture interface calcification, grade 1 decreased radiolucent area and evidence of fracture interface calcification, and grade 2 disappearance of fracture line.Until follow-up of 8 weeks, all of the radiographs showed grade 0. From 8 weeks to 16 weeks, 62.5 percent showed grade 0 and 37.5 percent showed grade 1. From 16 weeks to 48 weeks, 38.5 percent showed grade 1 and 61.5 percent showed grade 2. After follow-up of 48 weeks, all showed grade 2.In this study we have shown that the radiographic disappearance of mandibular fracture lines was usually accomplished by 48 weeks. We feel that radiographic union of the mandible is lagging well behind clinical union, but disapperance of the fracture line in rigidly fixated mandibular fracture was occurred earlier than healed by fibrous union. We propose that radiographic union of the mandible by approximately 1 year can be a guideline for the normal mandibular bone healing.

10.Generalized Chorea-Ballismus Associated with Nonketotic Hyperglycemia in Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report.

Even though the nonketotic hyperglycemia is a metabolic disorder, it complicates hemic- horea-hemiballism rarely. Moreover, generalized chorea-ballism associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus is very rare, so it has not been reported in Korean literature. Although the precise pathophysiologic mechanisms of these disorders are still poorly understood, deficiency of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in nonketotic hyperglycemia or reduced GABAnergic inhibition by striatal lesion may increase inhibitory output to subthalamic nucleus. These result loss of pallidal inhibition and produce contralateral hemichorea-hemiballism. The striatal lesions, such as transient ischemia with reactive astrocytosis or small amount of petechial hemorrhage, are related with changes of magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings presumably. We report a diabetic old woman who developed generalized chorea-ballismus as a very rare complication of nonketotic hyperglycemia. Her brain MRI showed high signal intensity in left lentiform nucleus and right pallidum on T1 weighted images and low signal intensity in bilateral putamen on T2 weighted images with highly enhanced corresponding lesions on T1 weighted enhancement images.
