In recent years, the rate of the thracolumbar and lumbar fractures rends to be increasing as the traffic accidents and industrial accidents frequently occurs. The purpose of this study is to review the results of conservative treatment for 73 patients with thoracolumbar and lumbar fractures and to review the failed 6 cases after conservative treatment, who were admitted and treated at National Medical Center during the period the period from January 1986 to June 1992. The following results were obtained: 1. Among the 65 cases of compression fracture, we performed hyperextension body cast in patient with height loss more than 30% and bed rest & brace in patient with height loss less than 30%, And in 63 cases, it showed good results. But two cases treated by bed & brace showed complaint such as radicular pain and persisdent back pain. 2. Among the 6 cases of burst fracture without neurological involvement, two cases treated by casting showed good result, but four cases treated by bed rest & brace showed complaint such as claudication and persistent back pain. 3. All cases of Chance fracture treated by casting showed good result. 4. There was no correlation between loss of correction of kyphotic angle and overall result. 5. Among the cases of poor result, we operated four cases which included two cases of instability & two cases of spinal stenosis and their results were good.

Occasionally, patients with gastrointestinal Crohn's disease (CD) develop granulomatous skin lesions at sites remote from the gastrointestinal tract, separated from other ulcerations by normal skin, a phenomenon that has been referred to as metastatic cutaneous CD. Although metastatic CD of the vulval region has been often reported in English literature, we could not find such cases with family history. We report a case of vulval CD occurring in siblings.

Weber-Christian disease is a relapsing, febrile, nodular, nonsuppurative inflammation of the subcutaneous fat tissue. Many authors reported these cases which illustrate the great variability of the clinical manifestation, such as acute or chronic, fulminating or transient, febrile or non febrile, systemic or cutaneous. Two of our cases have had recurrent painful subeutaneous nodules without fever for several years. Biopsy showed a nonspecific inflammatory panniculitis with lymphocytes chiefly, and small amount of histiocytes and foamy cells. It should be suggested Weber-Christian disease when subcutaneous nodules appear recurrently same areas of the whole body surface except anterior aspects of tibia even if no fever as systemic manifestation. Treatment with steroid and chloroquine diphosphete produced good improvement.
