We report a 36-year-old male with the bilateral visual field defect following LASIK was observed. Preoperatively, patient had high myopia(right. -7.25 0.75x18, left. -7.5-0.5x12), normal intraocular pressure(IOP)(right/left: 16/14 mmHg), normal visual field(Humphrey 30-2 visual field)and revealed the tilted discs with symetric optic nerve head cupping(cup-to-disc ratio, 0.70), parapapillary atrophy. Bilateral LASIK keratorefractive surgery was on the same day and intraoperative complication was not noted. After the first operative visit day, examination revealed uncorreted visual acuity right 0.8 and left 0.6 but scotoma was reported. Three months later, Humphrey 30-2 visual field revealed a near-superior altitudinal defect in the right eye and nasal side visual field defect in the left eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in the right eye, 0.8 in the left eye. Repeated visual fields over a 11-month period postoperatively showed stability of the defect, with IOP of 12 mmHg to 15 mmHg in each eye. We considered LASIK uses a microkeratome vaccum ring to make a corneal flap, transient elevation of IOP alters the microcirculation of optic nerve head and may have precipitated visual field defect.

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex-cord tumors (UTROSCT) are very rare tumors that occur mainly in the uterine fundus of women in reproductive age. These tumors can be classified into group 1 and group 2 by histological results. In group 1, epithelial-like differentiation is partially observed in the tumors. In group 2, sex-cord elements are predominant in uterine mural mass. We experienced UTROSCT group 1 in a 29-year-old woman who complained of severe abdominal pain that started one week after delivery and UTROSCT group 2 case in a 49-year-old woman who complained of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. We report two different types of UTROSCT cases that we experienced.

Isolated fetal ascites may be different from general category of nonimmune hydrops in both prenatal course and prognosis. We experienced one case of isolated fetal ascites of unknown origin treated by in utero ultrasound-directed paracentesis and so present it with brief review of literature.
