Unfused olecranon epiphysis has been reported rarely. We found an unfused olecranon tip within joint and a few small spurs on the apposing olecranon fossa and removed it successfully through the arthroscope. We think that it is a part of secondary ossification center of the olecranon and tbat it was separated through the epiphyseal plate by repetitive impaction of the tip of the olecranon into the olecranon fossa during pitching. In conclusion, fusion of the intra-articular part(articular center) of the olecranon epiphysis can not occur by nature. Repetitive extension overload during pitching may cause symptoms, and could be treated with arthroscopic control.

Subfalcial herniation secondary to a unilateral supratentorial space occupying lesion is frequently seen on the brain CT scan, however, the development of distal anterior cerebral artery infarction following compression of the terminal branches of the pericallosal artery against the falx during the period of subfalcial herniation is uncommon. For the last three years, we have experienced three cases of distal anterior cerebral artery infarction caused by subfalcial herniation on the brain CT scan. All patitnts had acute subdural hematomas resulting in subfalcial herniation on the first CT scan and subsequently developed focal infarctions in the ipsilateral paracentral lobule. The patients did not improve clinically and died several days after operation. The development of such infarction may reflect severe cerebral injury and portend a poor clinical outcome.

Authors performed 25 corneal grafts in 24 patients since the inauguration of The Central Eye Bank, attached to the Department of Ophthalmology, St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic Medical College, in April 19, 1967. Method and results of these cases are as follows; METHOD: In technique of surgery, the grafts in most of the cases were 7 mm in diameter(Table 3), in two types of penetrating and lamellar corneal grafts(Table 4). The donor material came from patient age group of 51-60 years old in most and was used within 24 hours after death (Table 5). In most cases we placed 12 interrupted sutures except of two cases for continuous suture by 8-0 virgin silks. Preoperative and postoperative cares were routine with systemic dexamethasone, 7.0mg a day was given routinely on the 5 th postoperative day for 30-50 days because of prevention of graft rejection. RESULTS AND SUMMARY: Table 7 summbrizes the results of our observation. Nineteen of the 25 grafts remained clear. And there was improved vision above 20/200 in ten eyes out of nineteen clear grafts. Table 10 lists the reasons why nine clear grafts did not improve vision. Postoperative complications occurred in fourteen grafts (Table 11). Penetrating corneal grafts for adherent leucoma courneae, staphyloma corneae and corneal scars from alkaline burn were failed to maintaining the clear graft. The donor material, the recipient cornea, graft rejection as a complication and its prevantion were discussed.

Traumatic epidermoid cysts are rare tumors occuring almost exclusively on the palms, palmar aspects of fingers, and soles. These cysts are thought to originate from a bit of epidermis implanted into the dermis after a penetrating or blunt wound. We report a case of typical traumatic epidermoid cyst on the sole of the right foot of a 23-year-old male student. The lesion was a coin-sized, tender, fluctuating cystic mass occuring 3 years after a penetrating wound by an iron nail. Histopathlogical examination revealed a deep dermal cyst lined by a thick, flattened, keratinizing wall with partial disruption accompanied by foreign-body reaction.
