The superficial sural artery flap is supplied by the superficial sural artery that accompanies the sural nerve. The superficial sural artery connects distally with a peroneal artery septocutaneous perforator via a suprafascial network of vessels that permits the flap to be raised on its distal pedicle. We treated 10 patients who showed soft tissue defect of the lower third of the leg, around the ankle and the hindfoot with this flap. The causes of the soft tissue defect were trauma in 6 cases, pressure sore in 2 cases, squamous cell carcinoma in 1 case and osteomyelitis in 1 case. The sites of the soft tissue defect were the lower third of the leg in 5 cases, around the ankle in 2 cases and the hindfoot in 3 cases. The size of the soft tissue defect was from 5x6 cm to 8xl2 cm. All 10 flaps survived. Two flaps showed slight venous congestion which cleared in a few days. The time for flap dissection was 15 minutes in average. The results of our cases show that the distally based superficial sural artery flap is useful for the soft tissue coverage of the lower third of the leg, around the ankle and the hindfoot. The advantages of the flap are that the blood supply is reliable, elevation is easy and quick, the major arteries are not sacrificed and the donor site morbidity is negligible.

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic vasculitic disease of the aorta, its major branches and the pulmonary arteries, resulting in stenosing, occlusive or aneurysmal lesion. While the precise etiology of Takayasu's disease is unknown, an autoimmune mechanism or active tuberculous inflammation have been suggested. It is more common in young oriental women but has a rare incidence in children. We experienced a case of Takayasu arteritis type IV in an 8years old girl. The diagnosis was made by physial examination and digital substraction aortography(DSA) which showed narrowing of left common carotid artery, right subclavin artery and left renal artery. The perfusion defect at posterior segment of right upper lobe was noted in lung perfusion scan. Medical treatment and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) were performed. In addition to case report, a brief review of literature was added.

Unilaterl frontal hyperhidrosis, a rare disorder of the sweat gland with localized hyperhidrosis, ia discribed. A 13-year-old female patient had increased sweating on the left half of the forehead, recurring in summer season for 2 years. Quantitative sweat collection demonstrated that the sweat glands responsive to those stimuli, which were thermal (direct and indirect heat), gustatory and cholinergic stimulation. A marked increase in sweat gland activity was noted on the affected areas as compared to the contaralateral normal sites, in thermal and gustatory effect. But, carbachol stimulation was not responsive. Biosy specimen which taken from the positive site of starch iodine technique showed increase number of sweat glands and ducts with somewhat dilated sweat ducts.

PURPOSE: To evaluate efficacy and the safety of percutaneous catheter drainage in patients with pneumothorax that is difficult to treat with closed thoracotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed effectivenss of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) in 10 patients with pneumothorax. The catheter was inserted under fluoroscopic guidance. Seven patients had spontaneous pneumothorax caused by tuberculosis (n=4), ruptured bullae (n=2), and histiocytosis-X(n=l). Three patients had iatrogenic pneumothorax caused by trauma (n=l) and surgery(n=2). All procedures were performed by modified Seldinger's method by using 8F-20F catheter. RESULTS: All catheters were inserted successfully. In 9 of 10 patients, the procedure was curative without further therapy. Duration of catheter insertion ranged from 1 day to 26 days. In the remaining 1 patient in whom multiple pneumothorax occurred after operation, catheter insertion was performed twice. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous catheter drainage under fluoroscopic guidance is effective and safe procedure for treatment of pneumothorax in patients with failed closed thoracotomy.

Syringomyelia was described by Etienne et al in 1954 and was named by Ollivier in 1827 by reason of the pathologic cavitation of cord. Also it is considered a very chronic and irregulary progressive disease of the spinal cord of unknown cause which has predilection for the cervical and lumbar enlargements. The patient of 19 years old male had been suffered from the painless, severe swelling and instability of right elbow after trauma on right elbow, aud had complained of the sensory and temperature dissociation, muscle weakness with clawing hand in right upper extremity and scoliosis of mild degree. These symptoms and findings were same as those of the classic syringomyelia. Therefore the syningomyelia which is relatively rare in incidence will be reviewed by this report with the references.
