For evaluation of the response and toxicity of the combination chemotherapy, forty six patients with malignant ovarian tumors who had prior surgery were treated with combination chemotherapy from January 1985 to March 1991 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kyung-pook National University Hospital. The results were as follows : 1. The responses were in complete 20 cases(43.5%), in partial 9 cases(19,6%), in stable 6 cases(13.0%), in progressive 11 cases(23.9%) among 46 patients. 2. By the response rates of various combination chemotherapy regimens, the response rate of CAP was 64%(16/25), CP 57.1%(8/14), VAC 100%(3/3), VBP 50%(1/2), FAM 0%(0/1), and Melphalan 100%(1/1) respectively. 3. As the chemotoxicities of combination chemotherapy, leukopenia 20 cases(46.5%), thrombocytopenia 2 cases(4.7%), anemia 20 cases(46.5%), nephrotoxity 6 cases(14.6%), hepatotoxicity 7 cases(18.4%) were observed.

Fifteen cases of ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency were diagnosed radiographically andconfirmed after operation at Seoul National University Hospital in recent two and half years since 1979.Cineangiographies of ascending aorta and left ventricle were done in those cases and revealed some characteristicfindings. The resuls of the analysis are as follow; 1. Among the 15 cases, 14 cases were male and 1 case wasfemale. Age distribution was from 7 years to 23 years. 2. Those 15 cases were corresponded to 8% among total 193cases of ventricular septal defect, to 11% among total 135 cases of aortic insufficiency and especially to 48%among 48 cases of aortic in sufficiency below age of 20 years. 3. After operation, 11 cases were confirmed assubpulmonary type ventricular septal defect and 4 cases as subcristal type. The sizeds of the ventricular septaldefects were ranged between 0.6 and 2.5cm in diameter. 4. Regurgitation of contrast media was noticed in cineaortography of all cases, and the grades of regurgitation were II-III/IV in 13 cases. 5. Various types ofherniated aortic cusp through ventricular septal defect were seen. In the cases of subpulmonary ventricular septaldefect characteristic saccular aneurysm was found in 7 cases. Asymmetry or mild bulging of aortic sinus was foundin the cases of subcristal ventricular septal defect. 6. Infundibular stenosis was found in 3 cases with rightventriculography and those were caused by the herniated saccular aneurysm of aortic cusp. 7. It is essential forthe diagnosis of ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency to undertake biplane cineangiography ofascending aorta and left ventricle in long axial view and right ventriculograhy should be done in suspicion ofinfundibular pulmonary stenosis.

Conventional posteroanterior chest radiographs of 73 patients with mitral valve disease who had surgery were analyzed, and particular attention was directed to the absence of the convexity of the left lower mid cardiacborder (left atrial segment) and to the relation with duration of illness, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) as well as surgical findings. The results obtained are as follows; 1. The flatness or concavity of this segment, despite other evidence of left atrial enlargement, was observed in eleven (64.7%) of17 patients who had left atrial thrombosis and six(10.7%) of 56 patients who did not have thrombosis(false positive diagnosis). Six (35.3%) of the 17 patients who had left atrial thrombosis did not show this finding on radiographs(false positive diagnosis). Six(35.3%) of the 17 patients who had left atrial thrombosis did not showthis finding on radiographs (false negetive diagnosis). Therefore, the accuracy in the diagnosis of thrombosis of left atrium was 64.7%(eleven of seventeen) for patients who had thrombosis of left atrium. 2. The atrial fibrillation was observed in sixteen (94.1%) of 17 patients who had left atrial thrombosis. So, correlation between the presence of left atrial thrombosis and atrial fibrillation was evident. But there was no correlationbetween the duration of illness or the PCWP of patients and the presence of left atrial thrombosis.

Postrenal segment anomalies of inferior vena cava such as bilateral inferior vena cava and left-sided inferiorvena cava can simulate lymphadenopathy on CT scan and these anomalous veins need consideration in retroperitonealoperations such as procedures for prevenetion of venous embolism, splenorenal shunt operation and aorticprosthetic repalcement. Retrocaval ureter is a rare cause of obstructive uropathy or medical deviation of ureter.We analysed 16 cases of postrenal segment anomalies daignosed by CT, vena cavography, retrograde pyelography andultrasonography including six rare positional anomalies at hepatic segment of inferior vena cava diagnosed bycardiac angiography. The results were as follows. 1. Postrenal segment anomalies were 6 cases of bilateral IVC, 8cases of left-sided IVC and 2 cases of retrocaval ureters. On CT scan, 3 cases of bilateral IVC and 4 cases ofleft-sided IVC were accompained by malignant tumors, but caval veins could be discriminated from enlarged nodesbecause of continuous tubular nature of vein on consecutive sections with homogeneous strong enhancement. Twocases of retrocaval ureters showed hydroureteronephrosis due to ureteral compression by IVC. 2. Hepatic segmentanomalies were 6 cases. Five cases of IVC on left side of vertebral crossed midline at live to enter right-sidedright atrium and one case of IVC on right side crossed midline to enter left-sided right atrium. Four cases ofcomplex cardiac anomalies, 4 cases of asplenia and 2 cases of situs ambigus were associates with these anomalies.

Meningiomas are usually thought of as firm solid tumors and most standard references make no mention of cystic meningiomas. Although several cases of cystic meningioma have been reported in the literature and their neuroradiological features discussed, the rarity of this entity makes its preoperative diagnosis difficult. Recently, the authors encountered a case of cystic meningioma, which was thought as ependymal cyst or infarction, preoperatively. In this report the authors discussed its clinical, neuroradiological and pathological characteristics with brief reviews of the literature.
