Sparganum is parasite infesting principally in the cats or dogs, but many human reported. In Korea, the reported cases of human sparganosis are over 20 cases. However the urogenital infestation of sparganum is relatively rare, and none of any report of infestation in the epididymis is available. We experienced a case of the sparganum infesting on the epididymis which vas confused with the epididymitis on palpation.

Some of the techniques for bone grafting for delayed union or nonunion of the long bone are used currently. In 1991, at arthroscopy workshop in Phoenix, Arizona, Lanny L. Johnson, M.D. reported a case of endoscopic bone grafting for the delayed union on the humerus. He suggested the possibilities of endoscopic bone grafting such as minimal incision, magnified visualization, accurate debridement, accurate graft placement, vascular preservation, outpatient surgery and reduced cost. The author performed endoscopic bone grafting and extra-articular adhesionlysis on the delayed union of femur with extra-articular ankylosis. The patient was a 28 year old housewife with blood type Rh(-). The duration after initial operation was more than 9 months. The result of the graft was satisfactory. In the future endoscopic bone grafting could be performed for nonunion, delayed union and congenital bone defect.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical course of discordant fetal growth and perinatal outcome in relation to dichorionic and monochorionic twin for different degrees of birth weight difference. METHODS: Between Jan. 1992 and Dec, 1997, 154 twin pairs were born at Yonsei medical center and there were 36 pairs of twins which had 20% or more birth weight difference. The placental examination were performed routinely on all multiple births and 13 pairs of dichorionic twins and 23 pairs of monochorionic twins were consisted of the study population. These twin pairs were divided into three groups based on birth weight difference: 20-29%(as group A), 30-39%(as group B), and 40% or more(as group C). Gestational age, birth weight, gender and perinatal outcomes were observed for each twin pairs. RESULTS: The perinatal death in the monochorionic twin pairs showed 9(34.6%) as group A, 4(50%) as group B, and 5(41,7%) as group C and in the dichorionic twin paus 1(10.0%) as youp A, 0 as group B and 5(62.5%) as group C. Up to 40% of birth weight difference, dichorionic twin pairs showed good perinatal outcomes compared with monochorionic twin pairs but over 40% or more of birth weight diffaence, however there were no significant difference of perinatal outcomes by chorionicity. In the monochorionic twin pairs, the cause of perinatal death showed 3 cases of prematurity, 2 cases of congenital anomalies and 2 cases of IIOC and 2 cases of cord lesions in group A whenas in the group B and C 3 cases of prematurity and 6 cases of congenital anomalies. In the dichorionic twin pairs, different-sex twin pairs showed no perinatal death in all three groups but in same-sex twin pairs there were 6 perinatal deaths. CONCLUSION: More recent improved fetal ultrasonographic surveillance such as determination of chorionicity, identification of fetal sex and evaluation of fetal anomalies help to make a clinical decision in growth discordant twin up to 40% of weight difference each other.
