The infantile cortical hyperostosis is relatively rare unknown cause disease. After the first report of a case of this was that of caffey in 1945, this disease is increasing in frequency. This disease characterized by subperiosteal new bone formation on various bone, leukocytosis, increased Erythrocyte Seidmentation Rate, fever. We experienced two cases of this and reported them in this paper with a brief review of tbe literature.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have changed the process of genetic diagnosis from a gene-by-gene approach to syndrome-based diagnostic gene panel sequencing (DPS), diagnostic exome sequencing (DES), and diagnostic genome sequencing (DGS). A priori information on the causative genes that might underlie a genetic condition is a prerequisite for genetic diagnosis before conducting clinical NGS tests. Theoretically, DPS, DES, and DGS do not require any information on specific candidate genes. Therefore, clinical NGS tests sometimes detect disease-related pathogenic variants in genes underlying different conditions from the initial diagnosis. These clinical NGS tests are expensive, but they can be a cost-effective approach for the rapid diagnosis of rare disorders with genetic heterogeneity, such as the glycogen storage disease, familial intrahepatic cholestasis, lysosomal storage disease, and primary immunodeficiency. In addition, DES or DGS may find novel genes that that were previously not linked to human diseases.

Ectopic lacrimal gland denotes a lacrimal gland which is located anywhere other than its normal site, lacrimal fossa, and it can occur in places like conjunctiva, cornea, lid, nasal mucosa, and orbit. It is a rare congenital anomaly and needs to be differentiated form other tumors. The literature contains few reports of ectopic lacrimal gland. We experienced a case of a 28-year-old Korean man who presented with an ectopic lacrimal gland with duct at temporal aspect of bulbar conjunctiva. The glandular tissue was excised and was histopathologically confirmed as such. We report it with reviews of the literature concerned.

Sepsis refers to the systemic response to serious infection. Patients with sepsis usually manifest fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, leukocytosis, and a localized site of infection. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) is a gram-positive, nonmotile, aerobic, catalase- positive coccus, which is resistant to all the B -lactam antibiotics. Cutaneous manifestations in sepsis are maculopapules, nodules, petechiae, ecchymoses, purpurae, pustules, vesiculobullae, hemorrhagic bullae and ulcers. When MRSA is identified in blood cultures and skin tissue cultures, the skin lesions can be considered as cutaneous manifestations in sepsis caused by MRSA. We report two cases with erythematous pustules, petechiae, hemorrhagic bullae and maculopapules caused by MRSA sepsis. MRSA grew in blood cultures and skin tissue cultures.

We performed 75 cases of daryocystorhinostomy from Jan. 1988 to Dec. 1990. A routine dacryocystography was performed prior to operation in all cases. A modified T oti's method was applied as a surgical technique "H" shaped incision was done. Both anterior and posterior flaps were sutured adequately and vaseline guaze was used as a plugging agent for 7 to 10 days Success was achieved in 72(96.0%) of 75 cases. The causes of 3-failures were organized granulation tissue and trauma.
