In the Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Hospital, Preoperative diagnosis as Ebstein anomaly was made on the 11-year old female through the preoperative examination including right cardioangiography and the Glenn Operation was performed to this patients as palliative treatment. During closure of the thoracic wall just after the anastomosis of S.V.C. and right pulmonary artery, sudden cardiac arrest developed. One day later after death, autopsy was performed in order to confirm the pathologic anatomy of the cardiac anomaly and to clarify the cause of death. Pathologic anatomy of the heart revealed the huge dilatation of right atrium, Patent Foramin Ovale, and the deformed and descended posterior and the septal leaflets of tricuspid value by which right ventricle was devided into the atrialized and the functional portion. The diagnosis of the autopsy showed (1) Ebstein Anomaly (2) bilateral total atelectasis of the lung, (3) multiple petechial hemorrhage and edema of the myocardium, brain and liver due to acute hypoxia, (4) fibrocaseous tuberculosis of the liver and tuberculous pericholangitis.

Enlargement of bone tunnels has been noted on plain X-rays following arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. The cause of this widening is unclear, but it has been hypothesized that it may be due to either mechanical or biological cases. Ishibashi et al. reported anatomical proximal fixation resulted in the most stable reconstructed knee, with increasing instability as the level of fixation moved away from the tibial plateau. The purpose of this study is to determine if any difference exists in the amount of enlargement of the femoral tunnel following arhotoscopic ACL reconstruction with position of interference screw fixation and instability, and to know the factors which affected to the enlargement of the femoral tunnels. Total 39 patients were retrospectively reviewed for tunnel measurements radiologically at one year post-operation. (27 patients received bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, 12 patients received bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft and Kennedy LAD-ligament augmentation device). The surgery was performed using an arthroscopic single and double incision technique. AP and lateral X-rays were obtained and the tunnels were measured by two independent observers using a digital caplper. The measurements were made at the widest part of the tunnel. Correction for magnification was performed by comparing the measured width of the interference screw used for fixation of the graft with its actual width. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and t-test. 1. Radiographic tunnel enlargement of femoral side was average 2.42 mm (bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft : 2.36 mm, Kennedy-LAD and autograft : 2.56 mm)(p>0.05). 2. According to the position of the interference screw, the femoral tunnel enlargement were 2.25 mm in anatomical fixation, 2.40 mm in mid-tunnel fixation, 2.62 mm in mid-tunnel fixation, 2.62 mm in outer-tunnel fixation(p < 0.05). 3. The femoral enlargement according to the overall results(Clancy, 1982) were 2.39 mm in above good result group and 2.50 mm in below fair result group(p < 0.05). Tunnel enlargement group of femoral side was related to a distance between femoral articular surface and the position of interference screw. We conclude that femoral tunnel enlargement following arthoscopic bone tendon-bone ACL reconstruction is related to the mechanical effect rather than the properties of grafts and the clinical results.

From March 1988 to August 1989, 51 knees with clinically suspected meniscus injuries were examined by both MRI and arthroscopy and compared their findings prospectively on the basis of arthroscopic findings to determine the accuracy of MRI in detecting meniscus injury of the knee. We used 2.0 tesla superconducting magnet imager(Spectro-20000, GoldStar, Korea) to obtain MR imaging. Our protocol for imaging was producing Tl sagittal images by spinecho technique and T2 coronal images by gradient echo technique, interleaved at 4mm continuously while the patient's knee was in 8–10 degrees of external rotation and surface coil was placed posteriorly to the knee in supine position. We grouped and correlated the findings of MRI with the arthroscopic findings. With this noninvasive MRI, we could obtain multiplanar, high quality images without compliations. Compared with the arthroscopic findings, MRI resulted in a high diagnostic accuracy of 96 and 86 percent for the medial and lateral meniscus, respectively. And it aided in optimal surgical planning for the clinically suspected meniscus injuries.

OBJECTIVE: In recent years, the neurosurgeon's role in managing cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) has becomes rapidly challenged and overlapped with other specialists. Furthermore, the patterns of CVD and patient recruitment have also changed. We conducted a retrospective study regarding the practical trends of CVD with reference to the management paradigms at our institute. METHOD: We reviewed all the available data, including the annual reports, the daily department records, the medical records and the radiographic films of the CVD patients who had been admitted to our Neurosurgery Department during the five years between Jan. 2004 and Dec. 2008. RESULTS: The total numbers of CVD operations showed a slight initial increase, but then they remained steady for the latter 3 years. The number of cases of non-angiomatous hemorrhage has been relatively steady, regardless of surgery. The total numbers of treated aneurysms increased, but the main body of this increment was attributed to the initiation of endovascular treatment and increased identification of unruptured vascular lesions. Vascular malformations were sustained with a small number of cases due to referring them to other institutes for radiosurgery, except for the cases that required urgent hemorrhagic evacuation. CONCLUSION: Hemorrhagic CVDs tended to decrease either due to increasing identification before rupture or shifting such patients into a large volume hospital. The increasing awareness of ischemic CVD, the early detection of unruptured aneurysms, and the separation of medical responsibilities from neurologists have all pushed neurosurgeons to make treatment plans in a more cooperative fashion, instead of a competitive way. Neurosurgeons should be furnished with several revolutionary surgical options to widen their scope of managing patients with CVD.

We report a case of disseminated epidermolytic acanthoma in a 69-year-old male who presented numerous, small dark brown verrucous papules on both popliteal fossae, inguinal areas, and abdomen. Although each lesion clinically resembled seborrheic keratosis, light microscopic examination revealed features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.

Median raphe cyst is not a cornmon disease and represents a defect in the embryologic development of male genitalia. It occurs most commonly near the glans penis, but may occur anywhere from the urethral meatus to the anus, and is lined by entodermal or ectodermal epithelium. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recently we observed a 29-year-old male patient who had had a typical median raphe cyst since childhood on the ventral aspect of the glans penis. On histological examination, the cyst was lined by stratified columnar epithelium varied from four to eight cells in thickness.

Pfeiffer syndrome, an unusual type of acrocephalosyndactyly, is a complex of associated malformations, first described by Pfeiffer in 1964. In addition to the common head and face anomalies seen in other acrocephalosyndactylies, its characteristics are broad thumbs and big toes, minimal syndactyly and normal intelligence. It is inherited in autosomal dominant pattern and shows various clinical features. The author's case was a 7-year old boy, who had been managed since birth for bilateral congenital resistant clubfeet including cast correction for six months and two operations. At present he represents not only the common features described above but also some unique features, e.g. pectus excavatum, posterior dislocation of both elbows, mild genu valgum, metatarsus adductus and complex malalignment of carpal and tarsal bones. To our knowledge, there is no report on Pfeiffer syndrome in Korea. The authors report a case of Pfeiffer syndrome with review of literatures.
