he Magnetic. resonance imaging has been used widely to evaluate the disk position without any interruption of the TMJ structures, and the dynamic MRI presenting computed serial imaging or the video-recorded simulation images is thought to be very effective to evaluate the disk position under function. This is to study the correlation between the clinical diagnosis and the findings of dynamic MRI for diagnosis of internal derangement of the 7 patients were examined clinically, and the movement of TMJ meniscus was reviewed in the dynamic MRI. MRI was very reliable to diagnose the amount of anterior displacement of articular disc, the structural abnormality of temporomandibular joint, the cause of functional limitation, and to differentiate the muscle related pain & dysfunction.

Intracranial aspergillosis is rare and often fatal, and the brain is the third most frequent origine involved, precede by the lung and the gastrointestinal tract. Two routes of infection are considered important for infection of the central nervous system with aspergillus ; direct spread of infection, mostly within the paranasal sinuses, or hematogenous spread, usually originated from the lung. Paranasal sinus mucocele is a chronic expanding lesion lined by sinus mucosa and containing thickened mucus. Complication arise as a result of infection or expansion of mucoceles. Mucoceles that invade adjacent area, such as the orbits or anterior cranial fossa, can cause complication by a mass effect. The authors report their surgical experience of intracranial aspergillus abscess combined with large frontal mucopycele.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of compensation or secondary gain on the pain behavior and psychometric characteristics. METHOD: We examined 88 patients who complained of chronic low back pain by the various pain questionnaires, electrodiagnostic study and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Total patients were classified into two groups (46 patients who wanted disability evaluation and 42 patients who did not). RESULTS: Mean score of visual analogue scale, total sum of McGill pain questionnaire and pain rating index on sensory, affective and miscellaneous dimensions were significantly higher in patients related to disability compensation than those in patients without compensation. Mean scores of pain disability index and symptom checklist-90-revision were significantly higher on various subclass in patients with compensation. Various pain scales were significantly correlated to each other in both group but the severity of electrodiagnostic study and MRI findings were not related with the degree of pain index score in both group. CONCLUSION: Compensation or secondary gain affect pain behavior and psychometric characteristics in chronic low back patients. So when we evaluate or treat the patients with chronic low back pain, we should consider above results.

Maternal weight gain during pregnancy has been consistently associated with infant birth weight and pregnancy outcome. Our purpose was to determined the relationship between maternal weight gain pattern and birth weight. Consequently, maternal weight gain is monitored carefully and is encouraged during prenatal care in order to improve pregnancy outcome. Our study group included both 424 uncomplicated women and infant delivered at the Yeungnam University Hospital between 1993-1996. All recorded prenatal weight gain measurements were used to estimate maternal trimester weight gain, pattern of gain (based on low versus not-low gain at each trimester), and total gain at delivery. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between these weight gain measurements and fetal birth weight. Each kilogram of maternal gain in the first, second, and third trimesters was associatedwith statistically related to the increase in fatal birth weight by 31.3, 19.0, and 24.5g, respectively. When compaired with the pattern of gain that was not low in any trimester, patterns with low gain in the first trimesters were associated with significant decreases in birth weight, but no important change in birth weight was seen for the group whose gains were not low in the first trimester. The results suggest that specific patterns of maternal weight gain, particularly weight gain during the first trimester, are related to fetal birth weight.

Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are rare and a meningeal location is even rarer. We report a solid meningeal hemangiblastoma in left parietal region, mimicking a meningioma on CT scan. There was no manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau disease. The literature on supratentorial meningeal hemangioblastoma was reviewed.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the most devastating forms of cerebrovascular disease, and is most frequently caused by hypertension in the distribution of the perforating arteries. Generally, hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is usually a single lesion, and recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage due to hypertension is not a rare condition. But multiple simultaneous intracerebral hemorrhage caused by hypertension is very rare. The authors report 4 cases of multiple hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. This represents 0.77% of total 514 hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages treated between January, 1994 and December, 1997 in our institution. All patients had chronic history of hypertension, and the locations of the hematomas were as follows: both basal ganglia in two cases, right basal ganglia and left thalamus in one case, cerebellum and left parietal lobe in one case. Two cases were treated by surgical evacuation of hematoma and remaining two were treated by conservative management. The results of treatment were poor in all patients.
