2.Bilateral cleft lip nose deformity correction withouter table calvarial bone graft and suspension suture method.
Journal of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons 1998;25(6):1017-1025
The purpose of this study is to introduce the patients with bilateral cleft lip nose have lots of distinctive anatomical features such as short columella, inferior displacement of the medial crura of alar cartilage, lowering of the alar dome, flattened tip of the nose, widened nostril sill and prominent vestibular skin web. Although millard, Kaplan and Wray have introduced columellar lengthening by fork flap, it was difficult to achieve satisfying results without reconstructing the nasal skeletal framework of the cleft lip nose deformity for their anatomical distinctiveness. We have performed rhinoplasty on 7 patients with bilateral cleft lip nose from January. 1995 to August. 1997, using onlay calvarial bone graft and suture suspension technique. Operation was performed on basic anatomical structure, skeletal framework using outer table of calvarial bone pushed into the nasal tip area and suspension suture was applied to the framework with anteroinferior projection of nasal tip projection vector by cantilever effect of the calvarial bone which carried out nearly normal anatomical nasal structure. We have obtained satisfying results without complication in all seven cases. In conclusion the method which authors have used shows several advantages. First, it was possible to obtain the substantial skin lengthening in anterior and inferior direction by "Tent-Pole effect" in which creating bony structure projected into nasal tip and traction suturing of the deformed alar cartilages. Secondly, columellar lengthening and close to normal nostril shape was obtained and thirdly, re-deformation of corrected structure was prevented. An expected problem in above method is resorption of grafted calvarial bone which expected to maintain its position under influence of alternation and reformation by reaction between chondroblast and chondroclast results in fibrous tissue replacement, yet long term follow up is necessary for futher evaluation.

Traumatic optic neuropathy is one of true ophthalmic emergencies and there is no proven form of treatment for traumatic optic neuropathy. 82 cases of traumatic optic neuropathy were investigated to evaluate the effectiveness of high dose corticosteroid for the visual improvement. Age, sex, initial visual acuity, final visual acuity, interval to treatment, the type of trauma and the affected region were studied retrospectively.250 mg of Methylprednisolone was administered intravenously every 6 hours for 3 days, and then followed by tapering using oral prednisone The vision was improved in 36 of 82 cases[43.9%]. It was difficult to interpret the relation-ships between the affected region and visual improvement, the interval for each treatment and final visual acuity. However, the vision was improved in 45 of 50 cases who had an initial visual acuity of above light perception, but in the two of 32 cases with no light perception. If indicated, fifteen cases were treated with a combination of high dose corticosteroid and optic nerve decompression. In initial treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy, high dose corticosteroid was effecive. Whether or not initial visual acuity was better than light perception was a key risk factor in the outcome.
