1.A Case of Follicular Mucinosis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1984;22(6):651-654
A 17-year-old male had a coin sized, follicular plaque on the glabella for 3 months. Histopathologic examination revealed reticular degeneration in the pilosebaceous follicles and amorphous homogenous materials between the degenerated cells. Alcian blue and toluidine blue stained the material as blue and metachromatically purple, respectively. The material was subsequently confirmed as acid mucopolysaccharide. Two months after the initial visit, the lesion showed a tendancy to heal spontaneously. According to the data obtained, the case was considered as an acute benign form of follicular mucinosis.

BACKGROUND: Morphologic characteristics of the human embryonic and fetal periderm according to body region are not very clearly defined. OBJECTIVE: We have tried to Clarify the sequential development of periderm regionally. METHOD: Skin samples were obtained from 12 human embryos and fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 estimated gestational ages(EGA) and divided regionally into scalp, face, back. abdomen, thigh and sale. Specimens were observed by scainning with an electron microscope. RESULTS: Human embryonic end fetal periderm show distinct morphologic changes as follows along its own sequence of development flattened surface, elevated surface, fiormation of incomplete bleb. single bleb stage, multiple-complex bleb stage, formation of regressinjg bieb. Then towards the end of the second trimester, most of thieperidermal cells are completely regressed. Regional variation in peridermal development is not evide!nt during the embryonic period, but earlier development is apparent in the sole, face and scalp especially in the sole compared to other areas during the late first snd second trimester after EGA 9 weeks. CONCLUSION: The periderm, which can be seen only in embryonic and fetal epidermis, shows distinct sequential developmental changeis with regional variation.

Polydactyly is the most common congenital anomaly of the upper limb. Polydactyly is classified as preaxial polydactyly(thumb), central polydactyly(index, middle and ring fingers), and postaxial polydactyly(little finger) by the site of the extra digit. A 3-day-old female newborn had a 1.5 * 1.0cm sized flesh color ed pedunculated sac like mass on the proximal phalanx of her right thumb since birth. A roentgenogram on the hand revealed no bony abnormalities of the digit and the mass contained no bony structures. The stalk of the mass was cut by the CO2 laser. On histopathological examination, a cartilage structure was found in the loosely arranged, edematous dermis and the overlying epidermis was flattened. The clinical and histological findings support the diagnosis of preaxial polydactyly. We report this interesting case of preaxial polydactyly with a review of the literature.

During a 12-month period high-resolution, real-time ultrasonography (US) with graded compression was performed on 268 consecutive patients with clinically suspected acute appendicitis and its complication. US visualization of a fluid-filled, non-compressed appendix or a decompressed, thick-walled appendix was the primary criterion for a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The sonographic findings were correlated with surgical-pathologic outcome in 92 cases and with the findings of clinical follow-up in the remainder. US was found to be accurate in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and its complication with a sensitivity of 93.3%, a specificity of 98.9%, and an accuracy of 97%. The predictive value of a positive test was 97.7%; that of a negative test was 96.7%. There were two false-positive examination in patients with a thick-walled appendix or periapperdiceal abscess, which were surgically confirmed as appendiceal adenocarcinoma and perforated cecal diverticulitis respectively. There were six false-negative examination in patients with a sonographically no-visible appendix, which were confirmed surgically as acute appendicitis(n=5) and perforated appendicitis(n=1). Our results show that high-resolution, real-time US is an accureate imaging modality in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and the evaluation of its complication.

The authors observed clinically typical case of unilateral coloboma of the optic disc. This patient, 5 years old Korean boy, visited to our clinic with the chief complaints of visual disturbance and intermittant exotropia of left defecting eye. The optic disc was enlarged about 2.5 times of normal optic disc diameter excavated about 7.0 Diopters in depth. The vision of colombomatous left eye was 20/50(n.c.) but the cause of defective vision was not evaluated certainely whether it might be due to coloboma itself or slight posterior subcapsular opacity of the lens.

Recently, accumulation of knowledge on cerebrovascular microanatomy and its hemodynamics and advances in interventional equipments, especially microcatheters, could make superselective embolization as well as for an adjunctive preoperative procedures The authors performed superselective angiography and embolization with Tracker microcatheter in 25 procedures out of 15 patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Complete embolization was done in 7 prtients (46.7%), nearly complete embolization in 6 patients(40.4%), and partial embolization in 2 patients (13.3%). The overall curative success rate of embolization was 86.7%. Five patients showed no complication at all. Mild complications, however, were observed in 7 patients (46.8%). Severe complications such as AVM or Tracker rupture were observed in 3 patients (20%). In conclusion, superselective embolization is and effective method for the treatment of brain AVMs, and multiple session embolizations could reduce the complication rate and increase the success rate.
