3.The First Neurosurgical Analysis of 8 Korean Children with Sotos Syndrome.
Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 2008;44(4):240-244
OBJECTIVE: Sotos Syndrome is characterized by macrocephaly, overgrowth, and developmental delay, and more than 300 patients have been reported worldwide to date. The authors reviewed the clinical characteristics of 8 patients with Sotos Syndrome in Korea for a new understanding and treatment strategies. METHODS: The medical records of a total of eight Korean children with Sotos Syndrome were reviewed. All patients underwent developmental checkup, lumbar punctures for measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP), brain and spine magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography. RESULTS: All 8 patients showed macrocephaly and the characteristic craniofacial features of Sotos Syndrome. Other clinical characteristics shown were overgrowth (7/8), developmental delay (7/8), congenital heart defect (3/8), flat foot (8/8), scoliosis (4/8), spina bifida (8/8), hydrocephalus (4/8), cavum vergae (3/8), and increased subdural fluid collection (5/8). Mean ICP measured via lumbar puncture was 27.35+/-6.25 cm H2O (range 20 to 36 cm H2O). Two patients received ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, and 1 patient underwent subduro-peritoneal shunt with improvement. Spinal orthosis was applied to 4/5 patients with scoliosis and 4/8 children with flat foot were provided with foot orthosis. CONCLUSION: In this first Korean study of 8 Sotos Syndrome patients we demonstrated the presence of spina bifida and increased ICP, which had not been previously described. The authors therefore suggest that all patients with Sotos Syndrome should undergo examination for the presence of spina bifida, and that shunt procedures would improve development and alleviate clinical symptoms.

Fractures of the neck of the femur in children are so rare that none has a great experience of them. Therefore the literature is scanty and no detailed study of a large series of cases can be found. Generally there were several differens between femoral neck fracture of adult and child. Those are rare incidence, the mechanism of fracture, different blood supply of femoral head, difficulty discision of definitive treatment and high incidence of complications. In this report, we presented 4 cases. One of them was the dispiaced fracture and was treated with conservative method. The other 3 cases were the displaced fractures and were treated with operative method. Relatively good results were obtained.

In spite of numerous clinical and patho-anatomical studies made in the past, there are still different opinions concerning the machanism of low back pain. We have focused attention on the posterior structures as an alternative source of low back pain with leg radiation, so we have studied and analyzed the effect of the injection of mixture methylprednisolone acetate suspension (20-40 mg) and local anesthetic (1% procaine, 1cc) into the posterior facet joint. In this paper, the records of 41 in-patients who have chiefly compalned of low back pain wlth leg radiation and have been treated at the Departmnt of Orthopedics, Han Yang University Hospital from May, 1979 to April, 1980 were studied. The following results are recognized by observing and analyzing their chief complalnts, physical examination, x-ray findings, the effect of facet block and the follow-up studies after facet block. 1. Low back pain with sciatica was 1.9 times more common in female than male, and frequently occured In 4th to 6th decades (75.7%). 2. The abnormal findings of plain x-rays were osteophyte (35.6%), marginal sclerosis (27.1%), narrowing of disc spce (18.6%), lumbarization (11.9%), spina bifida (3.4%), and tropism (3.4%). 3. The most frequent site of abnormal posterior facet joints was at the level between 4th and 5th lumbar vertebra (42.9%), and all were on lower lumber region. 4. The range of lumbar motion was decreased in the cases of abnormal posterior facet jolnt or degenerative changes, and it was especially more decreased in the combined cases. 5. The effect of facet block was as follows; In initial assessment, 29 of 41 cases (70.7%) showed complete rellef and one month later, 16 of 29 cases (55.2%) showed continuous rolief, 4 of 18 cases (22.2%) which were followed for 3 more months showed complete relief. 6. The effect of facet block according to pain character was as follows: 20 of 26 cases (76.9%) of numbness, 5 of 6 cases (83.3%) of dull pain and 4 of 8 cases (50.0%) of radlating pain were completely relleved and a case of burning pain was partially relleved.
