The carcinoma of uterine cervix is the most common malignant neoplasm in Korean women. Nearly all invasive cervical carcinomas are preceded by a intraepithelial stage. The cervical intraepithelial lesion(CIN) is subdivided into I, II, and III, depending on the severity of the changes. To evaluate the histologic characteristics of the CIN, we studied the CIN III by mapping of the uterine cervix. The results were as follows. 1. The CIN III without I or II was 54.8%(17/31 cases). 2. The multifocal CIN III was 12.9%(4/31 cases). 3. The horizontal growth of CIN III was 38.7%(12/31 cases). These results indicate that the CIN III is unifocal and CIN III without I or II is more common.

Congenital diverticulosis of the left ventricle is an extremely are rare maldevelopment. We report a 9 year old girl with probable isolated left ventricular diverticulum in whom the diagnosis was made by cross sectional echocardiography and by angiography.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have reported the results of arthroscopic coracoplasty concomitantly conducted with subscapularis tear. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine and compare the outcomes of arthroscopic subscapularis repair after arthroscopic coracoplasty using either the subacromial approach or rotator interval approach. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who underwent coracoplasty with subscapularis repair. The patients were grouped according to whether the subacromial approach group (24 patients) or rotator interval approach group (27 patients) was used during coracoplasty. Preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale scores, American shoulder and elbow surgeons scores, Korean shoulder scores, and range of motion (ROM) were assessed. Assessment of repaired rotator cuff tendon integrity was performed at 1 year after surgery using either magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography. RESULTS: At final follow-up, overall functional scores and ROM improved significantly in both groups when compared with preoperative values (p>0.05). The re-tear rates were not significantly different between groups; however, the rotator interval approach group showed a significant increase in ROM compared with that in the subacromial approach group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic coracoplasty conducted concomitantly with subscapularis repair can provide a satisfactory outcome. There were no significant differences between the two approach groups regarding final functional scores and re-tear rates. However, the rotator interval approach group showed a greater increase in ROM at final follow-up, especially in external rotation.

Arthrography is an invaluable procedure in critically verifyging the concentricity of closed reduction and the optimum position of stability. And it is known to be the most accurate and certain way of demonstrating lesser degrees of incongruity. It can visualize the intrinsic obstructive fractors, such as capsular attachment, the labrum, the psoas tendon and its relationship to the joint, the pulvinar, ligamentum teres, the inferior transverse ligament, and the shape of the femoral head and acetabulum. We analyzed 20 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip in 17 patients, which had been evaluated by arthrography. The results are as follows: 1. We found the inferior approach very efficient among many kinds of arthrographic techniques. 2. Among 20 cases, 12 cases could be treated with closed reduction and 8 cases were treated by open reduction such as capsuloplasty, partial limbusectomy, and removal of space occupying lesion in acetabulum, including 2 cases of Salter's innominate osteotomy and 1 case of derotational osteotomy. 3. Among the intracapsular obstructive factors which played major role in hindering closed reduction, capsular constriction was shown in 8 case, inverted or hypertrophic limbus in 5 cases, and other space occupying lesions in 2 cases. 4. We performed combined operation including bone and soft tissue for severe extra- and intracapsular lesions and closed reduction for mild to moderate extra- and intracapsular lesions. 5. Arthrography of the hip joint was indispensable in evaluating the intracapsular osstructive lesions as well as detecting the subtle incongruent reduction.

We retrospectively reviewed the MRI findings of 100 temporomandibular joints in 78 patients who had complained temporomandibular joint dysfunction. MRI findings were classified according to Wilke's staging criteria. And these findings were compared with arthrographic findings in 22 joints and surgical findings in 44 joints. According to Wilkes's staging. They were classified into 6 stages of abnormality: stage 0 (33 cases), stage I (19 cases), stage II (10 cases), stage III (18 cases), stage IV (6cases), stage V (14 cases). Among the 22 cases in which arthrography and MRI were done, both studies were well correlated in 10 joints. In 7 joints, MRI was superior to arthrography, which correctly demonstrated the meniscal displacement in 2 joints and . Meniscal deformity in 5 joints. In 5 joints, arthrography was superior to MR, which demonstrated the perforation (1 joint), adhesion (2 joint) and recapture of meniscus (2 joints). Compared with surgical findings, MRI correctly demonstrated the displacement of meniscus in all 44 joints. However, in case of the 10 meniscal perforation, MRI demonstrated the meniscal discontinuity in only 4 joints. Retrospective MR findings in 10 proven cases were the defect in posterior attachment in 4, far anterior meniscal displacement without recapture in 8m condylar spur in 4, and close bone to bone contact in 1. In conclusion, MRI as a primary Fiagnostic modality of temporomandibular joint derangment, is superior for the grading of displacement and deformity of meniscus but inferior for the evaluation of perforation, adhesion and recapture of meniscus to conventional arthrography. In case of the suspected meniscal perforation, arthrographic correlation is recommanded preoperatively.
