We described a case of a 30-year-old female patient with bipolar disorder who experienced the anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) during treatment with lamotrigine and aripiprazole. She developed fever (38.4 degrees C), leukopenia, skin rash, and elevated serum transaminase levels on the 11th day of lamotrigine treatment (20th day of aripiprazole). Hypersensitivity to lamotrigine was suspected; lamotrigine was discontinued and prednisolone (30 mg/day) was administered to the patient. The clinical manifestations and laboratory findings showed improvement. However, on the 11th day of lamotrigine discontinuation (7th day of prednisolone treatment), she developed maculopapular skin rash over the entire body except the mucosa. There were no other symptoms and the laboratory findings were within normal limits. Skin biopsy showed erythema multiforme. After prescribing 55 mg/day of predisolone for additional 8 days, the recovery was uneventful, and it took 4 weeks from the onset of the second skin rash. Lamotrigine induced AHS showed broad spectrum of presentation and some manifestations can be flared up several days after discontinuation as did in this case. If unexplained systemic symptoms or a skin rash of unknown cause develop during the use of lamotrigine, clinicians should discontinue lamotrigine promptly and monitor the patient carefully at least for several weeks.

Diabetic and nondiabetic vascular diseases cause significant foot problems and it frequently progress to osteomyelitis and amputation. Advances in vascular surgical techniques, including distal arterial bypass via synthetic grafts or autogenous vein grafting have opened the way for higher rate of limb salvage. We have experienced patients with ischemic vascular foot disease and combined skin ulceration and varing degree of soft tissue defect. In three patient with major vessel obstruction, we could preserve limb and avoid major amputation using greater saphenous vein graft with or without microvascular free tissue transfer.

Syphilis was known to be generalized disease and it had been decreased until 1960's. But, it has been increased again recently. The author analysed the 22 cases of congenital syphilis which were treated at department of orthopaedic surgery at Ewha Womans University Hospital from Jan. 1979 to July 1983 and the following results were obtained. 1. There were no significant changes of the number of patient by years. 2. Common symptom and sign were hepatosplenomegaly(84%), fever(62%) and skin changes(50%), and pseudoparalysis was observed in one case. 3. Radiologic bone changes were observed in 11 cases (50%) and the following results were obtained: a. Below the two week old, there was relatively low incidence of bone change with 22%. b. There was high incidence of bone change in prematurity with 75%. c. Common features of bone changes were periosteal reaction, osteochondritis and metaphysitis (91%). Pathologic fracture was observed. in one case. 4. Although we have observed the bone changes only in 50% of cases, all the other reports has reported more than 80% and we thought that radiologic bone change would aid the diagnosis of congenital syphilis.

In 1943, Alberto Inclan reported tumoral calcinosis in 3 cases at major joints. This condition usually showed large, painless calcified mass in major juxtaarticular sites, and evidence of familial or racial predisposition in blacks but abnormal values of serum calcium and phosphorus, association with renal disease, metabolic disorder and collagen disease are seldom seen. Tumoral calcinosis in large joints such as hip, knee, elbow and shoulder was reported several cases. Tumoral calcinosis in hand and foot is very rare and not reported yet in this country. Recently, authors experienced a case of tumoral calcinosis in both hands and right foot and cured without recurrence in 1 year follow up.

The methods of treatment of spondylolisthesis range from posterior fusion to instrumentation, and circumferential fusion. Combined anterior and posterior fusion with instrumentation had been carried out in one or two stages and satisfactory results were obtained in nighteen cases with follow-up period of one year to four years at department of orthopedic surgery of Ewha Womans University Hospital from 1987 to 1991. The results were as follows: 1. Of 19 patients, 7 patients were male and 12 patients were famale. 2. The isthmic type was 12 cases (63.1%) and the 5th lumbar vertebral involvement is common (12 cases, 63.1%). 3. The operative treatment was as follows: Posterior fusion with instrumentation was 8 cases, and anterior fusion with instrumentation was 11 cases. 4. The combined anterior and posterior fusion with instrumentation had been carried out in one stage operation at 8 cases, and two stage operation was done at 11 cases. 5. The average operation time was 3.0 hrs in one stage operation, 3.1 hrs in two stage operation, and the average amount of blood loss was 22cc/Kg in one stage, 17cc/Kg in two stage. 6. The satisfactory results were obtained in 19 cases, but there was no specific difference between one stage and two stage operation.

The authors conducted a clinical observation of 55 cases of solitary pulmonary nodules at Yeungnam University Hospital from June 1986 to October 1990, and the following results were obtained: 1. The age distribution was ranged from 18 to 77 years, and the male-to female ratio was 1.8:1. 2. Among 55 cases of nodules, 28 cases were benign and 27 cases were malignant nodules, and of malignant nodules, the primary lung cancer was 23 cases and of benign nodules, 18 cases were tuberculoma. 3. 23 cases (41.8%) was asymptomatic and the other 32 cases were symptomatic; chest pain 12 cases, hemoptysis; 8 cases, cough; 8 cases and dyspnea; 4 cases. 4. The non-smoker-to-smoker ratio was 1:1.04, but among 23 smoker over 20 pack years, 14 cases were malignant nodules. 5. According to nodular size, there is no striking differences between benign and malignant nodules except 3-4 cm sized nodules. 6. The lobar distribution of nodules, 35 cases were in the right lung (upper lobe; 14 cases, middle lobe; 11 cases, and lower lobe; 10 cases) and 23 cases were in the left lung (upper lobe; 9 cases, lower lobe; 11 cases), and the malignant nodules were most commonly observed in the right upper lung.

OBJECTIVE: Although anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the standard treatment for degenerative cervical disc disease, concerns regarding adjacent level degeneration and loss of motion have suggested that arthroplasty may be a better alternative. We have compared clinical and radiological results in patients with cervical disc herniations treated with arthroplasty and ACDF. METHODS: We evaluated 53 patients treated for cervical disc herniations with radiculopathy, 21 of whom underwent arthroplasty and 32 of whom underwent ACDF. Clinical results included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score for upper extremity radiculopathy, neck disability index (NDI), duration of hospital stay and convalescence time. All patients were assessed radiologically by measuring cervical lordosis, segmental lordosis and segmental range-of-movement (ROM) of operated and adjacent disc levels. RESULTS: Mean hospital stay (5.62 vs. 6.26 days, p<0.05) and interval between surgery and return to work (1.10 vs. 2.92 weeks, p<0.05) were significantly shorter in the arthroplasty than in the fusion group. Mean NDI and extremity VAS score improved after 12 months in both groups. Although it was not significant, segmental ROM of adjacent levels was higher in the fusion group than in the arthroplasty group. And, segmental motion of operated levels in arthroplasty group maintained more than preoperative value at last follow up. CONCLUSION: Although clinical results were similar in the two groups, postoperative recovery was significantly shorter in the arthroplasty group. Although it was not significant, ROM of adjacent segments was less in the arthroplasty group. Motion of operated levels in arthroplasty group was preserved at last follow up.
