A Paralytic hip with subluxation or dislocation may be treated by any of the ischial seat brace, hip fusion, muscle or tendon transfer, and more recently Pembertons or Salters osteotomy. 61 hips on 45 cases have been reconstructed, by one or combination of various procedures at Seoul National University Hospital during the 7 year period from October 1963 to October 1970. Follow-up results of these hips were evaluated by the reporters' according to the criteria of both functional and mechanical stability. Of the 43 cases with known results 9 rated Undetermined, 2 Fair, 5 Good, and 27 Excellent. Analysis of the 27 Excellent cases suggests that the most satisfactoy results can be obtained when the hips are attacked by concomitant functional(muscle or tendon transfer) and mechanical (Pembertons or Salters osteomy) stabilizations. In our experience, a combination of muscle or tendon transfer and an arthroplasty of Pemberton or Salter type can be carried out at the same setting, and at the same time results in better and more permanent rehabilitation of the hip than either muscle or tendon transfer or arthroplaty alone and often eliminates braces and the need for hip fusion, and thus a flail hip can be functionally salvaged. Our approach has become more aggressive in recent years, and we sometimes do not hesitate radical operations in children below 5 years of age or in convalescent stage of poliomyelitis in order to prevent further progression of hip deformities. More recently, Sharrards posterior transplantation of the iliopsoas tendon, originally described for reconstruction of paralytic hips in meningomyelocele, was carried out in 4 cases of residual poliomyelitis and we are satisfied with the initial results.

The authors presented a case of gastroschisis with a pedunculated gallbladder embedded in hepatic tissue. The patient was born after fullterm gestation. Due to extensive abdominal wall defect, she succumbed 3 days after birth. There was a pedunculated mass measuring 2.5x1.5x1.5 cm between the liver and distended stomach without any attachment to the liver. The pedicle of the mass was connected to the common bile duct. Cut surface revealed that the mass was an accessory hepatic lobe encircling the gallbladder. The histologic feature of both accessory liver and gallbladder was markedly altered probably due to vascular obstruction. We could find only a single similar case in literlature. That case was associated with Beckwith syndrome and ours was associated with large atrial spetal defect, large patent ductus arteriosus, accessory spleen as well as gastroschisis. The common feature of abdominal wall defect might be a predisposing factor.

Malignant histiocytosis(MH) is a rapidly progressive and usally fatal disorder characterized clinically fever, generalized weakness, lymphadeno athy, hepatosplenomegaly accompanied by jaundice, and purpura. The frequency of skin manifestations has been repoterd about 15% of MH patients. Papules, plaques and niidules are commonly met. Histopathologically MH shows infiltrations of atypical histiocyte; with uarious maturity in many organs including skin. We present a case of a 32-year-old female with MH involving not only lymph node, liver, spleen and bone marrow but also skin with vaorious features ; erythematous papules, annular purpuric patches, subcutaneous nodules and hemomagic nodules. Immunohist,ochemically the majority of patients atypical histiocytes in lesional skin shows a-1 antitrysin positive, but lysozyme negative. It may suggest that these are poorly differentiated atypical histiocytes rather than well differentiated ones.

We reviewed 35 patients who received an operation for the Spondylolisthesis from July 1980 to July 1985. The follow-up period between operation and evaluation was at least 14 months and average 32 months. we obtained the following results. 1. The age distribution was from 23 years of age to 70 years of age and the prevalent decade was at the 5th. 2. Sex difference showed male 9 cases and female 26 cases, that is, female preponderance about 3 times. 3. 24 cases were isthmic type and 11 cases were degenerative type. The ratio between isthmic type and degenerative type was about 2: l. 4. Isthmic type was found at the 4th and 5th decades frequently and degenerative type was at 5th and 6th decade frequently. 5. The displacement between L4 and L5 was 21 cases and the displacement between L5 and sacrum was 14 cases. 6. In isthmic type, the displacement between L4 and L5 was 11 cases and the displacement between L5 and sacrum was 13 cases. In degenerative type, the displacement between L4 and L5 was 10 cases and the displacement between L5 and sacrum was 1 case. So the isthmic defect occurred at 2 levels almost equally and degonerative type occurred at L4-5 predominantly. 7. Overall results are excellent 2 cases(6%), good 29 cases(82%), fair 2 cases(6%), and poor 2 cases (6%).

Lowe et al. have described a disease characterized by organic aciduria, decreased renal ammonia production, hydrophthalmos, and mental retardation, this disease is now called as Lowe's syndrome or oculo-cerebro-renal syndrome which manifests growth plates, metabolic acidosis, and characteristic eye changes, including bilateral cataract, glaucoma and nystagmus. It is a congenital hereditary affectation. Most of the patients with this syndrome are male sex. We report a new case of Lowe's syndrome in a 5-year old girl.
