Four hundred and fifty patients of cerebrovascular accident who underwent computerized tomographic scanning during the 45 months, from January 1978 to October 1981, at department of internal medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, were studied and following results were obtained. 1. In Korea, intracerebral hematoma(48.2%) is more common than cerebral infarction(27.6%). 2. 87.3% of intracerebral hemorrhage were comfirmed while 61.5% of cerebral infarction were identified by brain CT. 3. Cerebrovascular accidents are definitely developing in 6th decade(40.6%) and male is more often affected. 4. hypertension is the most common underlying disease(72.3%) of cerebral hemorrhage, 52.4% of cerebral infarction. 5. hematoma occurs most frequently in basal ganglia(40.6%) and cerebral infarction occurs most frequently in global area(48.4%). 6. Changes of consciousness level were observed in 54.2% of the cases of mild degree hematoma. Mortality was 6.2% in mild degree hematoma and 88.2% in severe degree hematoma. 7. In 26.2% of cerebral hematoma, inital CSF findings were normal in spite of the evidence of cerebral hematoma confirmed by CT scanning.

Follicular bronchiolitis is an uncommon bronchiolar disorder that is characterized by the presence of hyperplastic lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centers. The condition is associated with connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and immunodeficiency disorders. A 56-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis was admitted to hospital with a progressively enlarging pulmonary nodule in the left upper lobe. A follow-up contrast tomography scan showed that the nodule had increased in size from 4.2 mm to 6.3 mm over a 3 month period. An open lung biopsy was performed to establish a definite pathologic diagnosis of the pulmonary nodule, which was suspected to be a lung malignancy. The nodule was diagnosed as follicular bronchiolitis based on the histopathology findings. We describe a patient with follicular bronchiolitis that was confirmed by an open lung biopsy, and is believed to have had rheumatoid involvement.

PURPOSE: To evaluate anatomic variations and pitfalls of the labral-capsular-ligamentous complex in the shoulder joint for the proper interpretation of magnetic reasonance arthrographic images. MATERIALS AND METHODS:To determine the presence of sublabral sulci, undercutting of the base of the glenoid labrum by the articular cartilage, and the proximity of the middle glenohumeral ligament to the anterior glenoid labrum, 56 MR arthrograms of 41 asymptomatic volunteers were prospectively evalvated for labral shape and capsular insertion. We also evaluated the axillary fold, which was often confused with a loose body. RESULTS: The anterior and posterior parts of the labra, varied but their shape showed several dominant features; triangular(72%, 36%, respectively), rounded(13%, 35%), cleaved(8%, 1%), notched(2%, 0%), flat(5%, 24%), and absent(0%, 4%). Anterior capsular insertion was type 1 in 82% of cases, type 2 in 13% and type 3 in 5%, whereas posterior insertion was type 1 in 62%, type 2 in 36% and type 3 in 2%. We could also detect many pitfalls, such as undercutting of the base of theglenoid labrum by the articular cartilage(29%), sublabral sulci(25%), a prominent axillary fold(38%), and the middle glenohumeral ligament in proximity to the anterior labrum(5%). CONCLUSION: Our study revealed wide variability in the MR arthrographic appearance of the labral-capsular-ligamentous complex in asymptomatic shoulders. A good understanding of normal variation and pitfalls of the normal shoulder may be helpful pathologic condition in case of glenouhumeral instability.

Canalicular occlusion with silicone plug was carried out in 11 patient, 21 eyes with dry eye syndrome and the effect and safety of the procedure were evaulated. Artificial tears were discontinued or frequency of instillation was reduced in 66.6% of eyes after occlusion of canaliculi. There were no stastiscally significant differences in the mean value of B.U.T. and Schirmer test pre-and post-canalicular occlusion. There were no cases of postoperative epophora, allergic reaction and infection.

We had experienced a successful caudal anesthesia for the intramedullary nailing of fractured femur shaft in a 39 years-old, male, adult weighing 47 kg with severe kyphoscoliosis. We had chosen caudal anesthesia as an anesthetic method because of his poor pulmonary function and severe deformity of thoracolumbar spine. Caudal anesthesia was performed with administration of the mixture of 6 mL of 2% lidocaine, 12 mL of 1.5% lidocaine, 10 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine, and 0.15 mg of 0.1% epinephrine. We could achieve the adequate anesthetic sensory dermatome level, L1, for the operation without any significant deterioration of blood pressures and respiration. We recommend that caudal anesthesia is a useful anesthetic method for a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis when the operation on hip or lower extremity is required.
