Atopic dermatitis is one of the commoner dermatoses of children, adolescents and young aduIt. Atopic persons manifest (1) a high degree of allergic hypersensitivity with the developmmt of atopic reagins in the blood. (2) an exaggerated reaction to various forms of physical and ernotional stress. (3) a favorable symptomatic response to steroidal therapy. (4) an exaggerated reaction to infection with the virus of vaccinia and herpes simplex and (5) an abnormal physiologic response in the skin and the superficial vascular network to physical agents and the acetylcholine. The relation of atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis disseminata) to various manifestations of ocular disease has been well documented: in the ophthalmologic literature. Cataract formation, re tinal detachment and keratoconjunctivitis have been noted most often. and keratoconus and atopic uveitis are apparently uncommon. Frequency of occurrence of atopic cataract and keratoconjunctivitis was evaluated clinically in 117 patients suppering from atopic dermatitis who were visited to out-patient clinic of dermatology of Eul-Ji Geaeral Hospital during the years 1980 to 1981. A distinctive form of ocular cataract, as a significant complication of atopic dermatitis in the years of adolescence and young adult life, was found in 7 of 117 patients with atopic dermatitis.

The authors represented a clinical analysis of 3 rd decade male 47 patients with intracranial tumors who had been histologically confirmed after operation and biopsy at the department of neurosurgery of Capital Armed Forces General Hospital From Feb. 1985 to Jan, 1988. We classified the intracranial tumors according to Russell and Rubinstein's classification. The results were as follows: 1) Among the intracranial tumors, gliomas were found most frequently(40.4%), and followed by pituitary adenomas(19.2%), pinealomas(10.6%), osteomas(6.4%), medulloblastomas(4.3%), craniopharyngiomas(4.3%), blood vessel tumors(4.3%). Pituitary adenomas occupied 19.2% of all intracranial tumors and as a single entity these were the highest incidence. 2) Tumors of the pineal region constitutes 10.6% of intracranial tumors. It was relatively high incidence compared with other reports. 3) Intracranial tumors occurred more frequently in supratentorial region(85.1%). The most frequent location was sellar and parasellare region(23.4%), and followed by frontal(14.9%), parietal(12.7%), pineal gland(10.6%), temporal(8.5%), cerebellar region(8.5%) in order. 4) The most common duration of symptoms were within 3 months(42.6%). The main clinical symptoms and signs were headache(80.9%), nausea or/and vomiting(55.3%), papilledema(44.7%), so called symptoms triad of the brain tumor, and other ophthalmic symptoms, gait disturbance, motor dysfunction,cerebellar sign in order.
