Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip is the only means of obtaining good results with consistent regularity. But a large number of congenital dislocation of the hip remain undiagnosed before the child begins to walk. One hundred and nine cases of congenital dislocation of the hip had been clinically diagnosed and 48 cases of them were treated conservatively or operatively at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University from January, 1965 through September, 1975 with following results. 1. Among 109 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip, 48 cases were admitted and treated. In recent 10 years the number of the out-patient was increasing. 2. The preponderance of female to male (4:1) was found. 3. The age ranged between 3 months and 24 years, and 46 cases (42%) between 12 and 24 months. 4. In most cases the chief complaint was limping. 5. The associated congenital anomalies were observed in 3 cases of the series, comprising two cases of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and one case of hydrocephalus. 6. The scetabular index was increased in affected hip. 7. The ratio of unilateral cases to bilateral ones was 100: 9, and right to left was 47: 53. 8. Closed reduction was satisfactory in 25 cases under 2 years of age. 9. Open reduction was necessary in 18 cases of failed closed reduction and 5 cases of redislocation. 10. Eleven cases of Salter's operation, 4 cases of Pembertons operation, 2 cases of Colonnas operation, and 8 cases of derotational osteotomy were performed to increase the stability of the hip joint.

This retrospective study was performed to assess CT scan findings of pancratic cancer and its ability todetermine resectability. CT scans of 41 patients, who were diagnosed to have pancreatic cancer on histological orclinical base, were reviewed. Most common findings were; focal pancreatic enlargement, diffuse pancreaticenlargement, loss of distinct contour, peripancretic fat obliteration, bile duct or pancreatic duct dilatation,vascular invasion, lymph node involvement, direct invasion of adjacent organs and distant metastasis.Resectability was assessed according to generally accepted CT findings such as small pancreatic mass lesion havingnormal lobulated contour of pancreas, no evidence of vascular invasion, no evidence lymph node involvement andfree of distant metastasis. With the criteria, 5 cases among 41 cases deemed to be resectable. However onoperation all cases were found unresectable indicating prediction of tumor resectability is difficult even withhelp of CT. Nonetheless CT would be very helpful in management of patients having pancreatic cancer since CT wouldshorten the diagnostic procedures of pancreatic cancer.

PURPOSE: To evaluate characteristic MR findings of primary cardiac and pericardiac tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: There were myxomas (n=7), malignant lymphoma (n=l), lipoma (n=l), and pericardiac mesotheliomas (n=2). We analyzed location, size, shape, signal intensity, contrast enhancement, and associated findings of adjacent structures such as pericardiac and pleural effusion, and mediastinal lymph node enlargement. RESULTS: Locations of the myxomas were left atrium in four cases, left ventricle in one, right atrium in one, and right ventricle in one. Mean diameter was 3.5cm (range, 2-7cm). They were polypoid or Iobulated in shape, and attached to interatrial or interventricular septurn in all cases except in right atrial myxoma which was attached to lateral wall. Their peduncles were demonstrated in three left atrial myxomas. The signal intensities were iso or slightly high on T1-weighted images and high on T2-weighted images. Pleural and pericardial effusions were shown in the three cases. Malignant lymphoma was manifested as large mass in right ventricle infiltrating to right atrium, interventricular septum, right paratracheal and retrocardiac area. It had slightly high intensity in both T1- and T2-weighted images with a strong contrast enhancement and associated with both pericardiac and pleural effusion. Lipoma was polypoid in shape and attached to lateral wall of left ventricle with bright T1 and high T2 signal intensity. Pericardiac mesothelioma was manifested as a pericardiac and atrial mass with diffuse irregular uneven thickening of pericardium which had iso signal on T1- and high T2-weighted images with moderate contrast enhancement. Conculsion: MR imaging is a very useful method in demonstration of the location, extent, tissue characteristics of the mass, and relationship with its adjacent structu res in evaluation of cardiac and pericardiac tumors.
