Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disorder in childhood. In cerebral palsy, spasticity can be a very disabling feature: limited locomotor abilities, contracture and gait difficulty. We present two cases of cerebral palsy patients who had treated with oral medication and chemodenervation with the Botulinum toxin A or alcohol but could not walk independently. We performed percutaneous selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the tibial motor nerve branch under the general anesthesia. The degree of spasticity, which was measured with modified Ashworth scale and modified Tardieu scale, was reduced and recurrence of the spasticity wasn't seen untill 6 months. Percutaneous selective radiofrequency thermocoagulation could be a treatment option for spasticity of cerebral palsy with little adverse effect.

The prevalence of PPNG among pretreatment isolates at a VD Clinic in Seoul has been studied and reported annually since 1981. In 1987, 649 strains of N. gonorrhoeae were isolated, among which 339(52.2%) were PPNGs. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul is still increasing.

BACKGROUND: Cerebrovascular accidents after coronary bypass surgery(CBS) are serious and responsible about 10% for postoperative mortality. Recently, the rate of cerebrovascular complication after CBS has increased with increasing number of the operations for high risk patients with old age, hypertension, diabetics and etc. This study was intended to identify the risk factors of cerebrovascular accident after CBS by reviewing the medical records of the patients who underwent CBS. MATERIALS AND METHOD: We reviewed the medical records and statistically analyzed the data of 185 patients who underwent CBS between March 1991 and July 1999. RESULT: The rate of cerebrovascular complication was 7.5%(14 patients) of which there were 5 deaths. Total number of postoperative death was 11 during the same period, and 45.5% of postoperative deaths were associated with cerebrovascular complication. Postoperative arrhythmia(p=0.0064), history of previous CVA(p=0.0090), bypass time(p= 0.0181), atherosclerosis of aorta(p=0.03575) and diabetics(p=0.0452) were statistically related with the development of postoperative cerebrovascular complication. Two patients underwent carotid endarterectomy concomitantly with CBS, neither of them developed cerebrovascular complications. The 3 patients over 75 years did not develop cerebrovascular complication after CBS. CONCLUSION: Risk factors associated with the development of postoperative cerebrovascular complication after CBS were postoperative arrhythmia, history of previous stroke, bypass time, atherosclerosis of aorta and diabetics.

Erlotinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that acts on the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). There have been many reports of the mucocutaneous side effects related to several EGFR inhibitors (EGFRIs). However, no case of black hairy tongue (BHT) associated with EGFRI has been reported. Herein, we report the first case of erlotinib-induced BHT in a 61-year-old man with advanced lung cancer. Considering recent use of EGFRIs worldwide, dermatologists should recognize the possible occurrence of BHT associated with EGFRIs such as erlotinib.

Actinic granuloma is a rare chronic granulomatous dermatosis that is characterized by the elastophagocytosis by multinucleated giant cells. This malady presents in middle-aged individuals and it manifests as asymptomatic papules or annular plaques in the sun-exposed area. There are four main histopathologic patterns of actinic granuloma, including the giant cell, necrobiotic, histiocytic and sarcoidal variants. However, there are no previously reported cases of actinic granuloma associated with the histopathologic findings of suppurative granuloma. We herein report on an unusual case of actinic granuloma that showed the histopathologic findings of suppurative granuloma in a 58-year-old female.
