True hermaphroditism is a rare disorder or sexual development in which both ovarian and testicular tissue exist in a same individual. Author experienced a case of true hermaphroditism in a 15 years old patient, reared as a male who had an ovotestis in the right side and ovary in the left, managed by resection of testicular tissue and feminine genitoplasty.

Twenty newly admitted acute schizophrenic patients were treated with haloperidol for 6 weeks. HVA and 5-HIAA were sampled at baseline, 3days after initial neuroleptic dose, and after 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 weeks of treatment. Nine patients were classified as responders in this prospective haloperidol treatment trial. They had a score of change in the BPRS total scores of 25% or greater. Eleven patients were classified as nonresponders, based on a score of changes in the BPRS total scores of less than 25%. 1) There was no significant difference in plasma HVA/5-HIAA ratio between responder and non-responder before and after haloperidol treatment. 2) There was no significant correlations between plasma HVA/5-HIAA ratio and BPRS total scores. This study could not support the hypothesis that neuroleptic treatment would be effective by changing dopamine and serotonin function and/or by altering their interaction.

A study was done to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonography on acute scrotum patients. During the last three years, 25 patients were managed at Cheju Medical Center, eight of them were testicular torsion patients including one cryptorchid testicular torsion. one torsion of appendix testis, 11 acute epididymitis and 5 testicular rupture due to blunt scrotal trauma. Ultrasonography revealed enlarged testis and epididymis in all of the 8 testicular torsion patients and 7 of them showed inhomogeneously decreased echogenecity of the testis and epididymis. All acute epididymitis patients showed enlargement of the epididymis, and inhomogeneously decreased echogenecity was found in 8 of them. But testicular echogenecity was normal in all of the acute epididymitis patients and enlargement of the testis was found in two. All of the 5 testicular rupture patients showed irregular hypoechoic portions in the testicle and distorted testicular morphology, and linear fracture lines of the testis were found in two. We could suggest that scrotal ultrasonography is useful for the early differential diagnosis of the acute scrotum, especially when scrotal radioisotope scan is not available.
