PURPOSE: The periventricular leukomalacia(PVL) tends to increase the risk of developing motor neurologic sequelae, delayed cognitive development, visual impairment, and epilepsy. Although several developmental screening test methods are being used, one of the oldest and best known developmental screening test was restandardized and revised as Denver Development Screening Test II(Denver II). The objective of this study is to analyse the correlation between the degree of PVL on MRI and the results of Denver II. METHODS: Among the children brought into Pusan National University Hospital between January 1996 and August 1999 with developmental delay, all of the 36 children with PVL on MRI were selected for the study. Denver II was checked in all these patients for screening of developmental delay with the review of medical records. Depending on the grade of PVL, total sample was classified into three groups, and it was based on abnormally increased signal intensity in periventricualr white matter or a reduced amount of periventricular white matter or both, and compensatory focal ventricular enlargement. We analysed the relationship of the grade of PVL and the results of Denver II. RESULTS: The 36 total patients were composed of 22 boys and 14 girls, with the age distribution between 11 to 72 months and the mean of 34.4 months. Delayed occurrence of gross motor sector were 5 cases(44.4%) in group 1, 16 cases(80.0%) in group 2, 7 cases(100.0%) in group 3. Incidence of delay was significantly higher in the high grade PVL group. Delayed rate of other sectors(fine motor-adaptive, personal-social) were higher in the high grade PVL group. But it was not statistically significant. Delayed rate of language sector has no correlation with grade of PVL on MRI. CONCLUSION: Incidence of dealy of gross motor sector was significantly higher in the high grade PVL group. However, language sector has no correlation with grade of PVL on MRI.

The relationship between respiratory infections and exacerbations of wheezing in patients with wheezy bronchitis or asthma has been described. Most respiratory infections were viral or Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection on bronchial reactivity and atopic background. 106 patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia who were admitted to the department of pediatrics, Fatima Hospital, Taegu during the period of two years from January 1989 to December 1990 were involved in this study. The results were as follows 1) Out of 106 cases, 69 were male,37 were female and 34.9% of the cases were between 5~6 years of age. 35 cases(33.0%) had wheezing and the incidence of wheezing were higher in male than in female. 2) The incidence of wheezing was high in the patients with serum IgE level higher than 200IU/ml, patients with past and family history of allergy and the patients fed with formula feeding in infancy. 3) Eosinophils and the associated maxillary sinusitis had no effect on the incidence of wheezing. 4) The recurrence of wheezing was higher in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia with wheezing(26.8%) than in patients without wheezing(3.8%).

Primary gastric actinomycosis is an extremely rare disease and less than 20 cases are reported in literature. We experienced a case of gastric actinomycosis in the 63-year-old woman who had subtotal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer(type IIc) 7 month ago. Endoscopic biopsy from elevated lesion on stoma was found to show the neutrophilic infiltration and sulfur granule. She placed on tetracycline for 30 days. Follow up endoscopy showed no abnormality. We report this case with literature review. (Koresn J Gastrointest Endosc 18: 757~ 760, 1996)

Metastasis to the skin from internal malignant neoplasms are an uncommon and often preterminal event. Although carcinoma of the cervix is the fourth most common malignancy in women, cutaneous involvement originating from cervical cancer is particularly unusual, even in the terminal stages of disease. We report two cases of cutaneous metastasis from cervical cancer. Case one was a 57-year-old woman, who has been treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy for an cervical cancer(Stage IIa) since 11 years ago. She showed multiple grouped shallow ulcerative nodules and papules on the external genitalia 1 month ago. Another case was a 46-year-old woman noted irregular vaginal bleeding, and pelvic examination revealed an cervical cancer(Stage IIb) for 2 years ago. She visited our clinic because of swelling of the right leg and multiple erythematous nodules and ulcerative lesion on the right thigh for 2months. Histopathologic findings showed skin tumors, which were considered to originate from the cervix.

A case of Moya-Moya disease with AVM is reported. It is well known that Moya-Moya disease sometimes is accompanied by cerebral aneurysm. However, only four case of Moya-Moya disease with AVM have previously been published in the world. A 36-year-old women suffered from sudden onset of mental deterioration & left hemiparesis, Brain CT scan showed intraventricular hemorrage in both lateral & 3rd ventricle. Enhanced CT scan revealed irregular enhancing area in the right posterior parietal cortex. Cerebral angiography showed an arteriovenous malformation fed by basal Moya-Moya vessels & posterior meningeal artery. Emergeny external ventricular drainge was done. 2 weeks later, the patient had operation for excision of AVM & encephalomyosynangiosis.

It is Known that ocular tuberculosis occurs as a consequence of active infection from hematogenous spread or a hypersensitivity reaction to circtlating tuberculoproteins. The common findings of ocular tuberculosis are uveitis and choroidal tuberculoma. Paralleling the decrease of pulmonary tuberculosis and improvemem of differential diagnostic metnods, there has been a dramatic decline in the number of diagnosed cases of ocular tuberculosis. In a 65-year-old female a choroidal tumor was diagn03ed at our hospital a year ago Thereafter, she has been medicated with antituberculotic agents for brain tuberculosis in the other hospital. Recently she returned to our clinic cOffiJlaining of aggravated ocular symptom. The right vision was no light perception Enucleation of her right eye was perfomed under the impression of malignant tumor of choroid with secondary glaucoma. Pathologic findings of enucleated eyeball revealed the nature of tuberculoma; so, we report it with a review of literature.
