Acute cerebral infarctions are rare in children, however, they can occur as a complication of a Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection due to direct invasion, vasculitis, or a hypercoagulable state. We report on the case of a 5-year-old boy who had an extensive stroke in multiple cerebrovascular territories 10 days after the diagnosis of MP infection. Based on the suspicion that the cerebral infarction was associated with a macrolide-resistant MP infection, the patient was treated with levofloxacin, methyl-prednisolone, intravenous immunoglobulin, and enoxaparin. Despite this medical management, cerebral vascular narrowing progressed and a decompressive craniectomy became necessary for the patient's survival. According to laboratory tests, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and clinical manifestations, the cerebral infarction in this case appeared to be due to the combined effects of hypercoagulability and cytokineinduced vascular inflammation.

Ligamentum flavum cysts (LFCs) are rare but clinically significant lesions in the lumbar spine. These cysts, often found incidentally, can mimic the symptoms of intervertebral disc herniation and cause radiculopathy. This article details a case involving an 80-year-old woman with severe lower back and radicular pain due to an LFC at the right L5/S1 facet joint that was unresponsive to conservative treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging and neurography confirmed that the cyst compressed the right S1 nerve root. Surgical excision via partial hemilaminectomy resulted in complete symptom relief and nerve decompression. Histopathological analysis identified the cyst as degenerative without a synovial lining. This case underscores the importance of considering LFCs in the differential diagnosis of neurogenic leg pain and highlights the efficacy of surgical excision for symptom resolution and preventing recurrence.

Meconium peritonitis is the chemical inflammation or foreign body reaction of peritoneum resulted from the prenatal bowel perforation associated with or without obstructive lesion during late intrauterine or early neonatal periods. Prenatal ultrasonographic findings of meconium peritonitis are intraperitoneal calcification, ascites, and pseudocyst. These provides the preparation for proper management which should reduce mortality and morbidity of neonate. We have experienced a case of meconium peritonitis in utero diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and present this case with a brief review of literatures.

PURPOSE: Although there are more than a hundred techniques, including the transabdominal and the perineal approaches, for the repair of the rectal prolapsed, none of them is perfect. The best repair should be chosen not only to correct the prolapse but also to restore defecatory function and to improve fecal incontinence throughout the patient's lifetime. The aim of this retrospective review is to evaluate clinical outcomes of the Delorme's procedure for the management of the complete rectal prolapse. METHODS: A total of 19 patients (13 females and 6 males) with complete rectal prolapses were treated by using the Delorme's procedure in St. Vincent's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, from February 1997 to February 2007. Postoperative anal incontinence was evaluated using the Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score. RESULTS: All 19 patients had incontinence to liquid stool, solid stool, and/or flatus preoperatively. Three (15.8%) patients reported recurrence of the rectal prolapse (at 6, 18, 29 months, respectively, after the operation). Information on postoperative incontinence was available for 16 of the 19 patients. Twelve of the 16 patients (75%) reported improved continence (5 [31.3%] were improved and 7 [43.7%] completely recovered from incontinence) while 4 patients had unchanged incontinence symptoms. One (6.3%) patient who did not have constipation preoperatively developed constipation after the operation. CONCLUSION: The Delorme's procedure is associated with a marked improvement in anal continence, relatively low recurrence rates, and low incidence of postoperative constipation. This allows us to conclude that this procedure still has its own role in selected patients.

Typical vasculitic neuropathy commonly manifests as a subacute multiple mononeuropathy, symmetrical or asymmetrical sensori-motor polyneuropathy. Various clinical presentations of peripheral neuropathy may confuse the diagnostic approach sometimes. A 76-year old man presented progressive areflexic ascending paralysis. gait ataxia, severe vibration and position sense impairment for 1 month. We initially considered as subacute demyelinating polyneuropathy. Electrophysiologic studies showed mainly axonopathy with some evidence of demyelination. We performed sural nerve biopsy and diagnosed as vasculitic neuropathy. No laboratory data or clinical findings favored systemic vasculitic involvement. So we concluded vasculitis confined to the peripheral nerves. Vasculitic neuropathy rarely presented as large myelinated nerve fiber disease. It should be considered the clinical variability of vasculitic neuropathy so extensive studies are needed in the case of peripheral polyneuropathy with indefinite cause.

PURPOSE: This study aims to determine the correlation between the fracture patterns and the complications in patients with femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study comprises 45 patients with femoral neck fracture treated with multiple screws or compression hip screw between May 2008 and April 2012. The mean age was 48 years at the time of the surgery and the mean duration from initial injury to surgery was 20 hours. The fracture patterns were identified according to the anatomical location, the Garden classification and the Pauwels classification. The occurrence of nonunion and avascular necrosis were reviewed with clinical results including Harris hip score and Lunceford hip function test. The correlation between the fracture pattern and occurrence of complications were analyzed. RESULTS: Fracture site union was achieved in 40 hips with the average union time of 17 weeks. Five nonunions occurred which showed high likelihood to occur in subcapital type, displaced (Garden stage III or IV) and Pauwels type III fractures (P<0.05). Avascular necrosis was developed in 10 hips which was mostly in subcapital type and Pauwels type III fracture but no statistical significance was found (P>0.05). The mean Harris hip score was 91 points, and Lunceford functional results were excellent in 15 hips, good in 24, fair in 4 and poor in 2. CONCLUSION: There was high risk of nonunion in subcapital type fracture, displaced fracture (Garden stage III and IV) and vertically oriented fracture (Pauwels type III). Careful attention is needed in these fracture types.
