We report a case of fixed-type sporotrichosis in a 12-month-old infant, who presented with a well-defined scaly erythematous patch on the right lateral nasal root area of approximately 2.5 months duration. Hiopsy revealed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with chronic granulomatous inflammation in dermis and PAS-positive fungal spores in the stroma. Sporothrix schenckii was identified with fungal culture of biopsy specimen. The lesion was responded to treatment. with itraconazole(3mg/kg) for 12 weeks, without relapse at 5-month follow-up.

Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is characterized by asymmetric clinical manifestations including asymmetrical apraxia, alien limb movement and Parkinsonian symptoms. Cognitive function is relatively normal in the early course of illness. We report a 59 years old right-handed male with CBD. He showed asymmetrical ideomotor apraxia, alien limb movement and extrapyramidal symptom, such as cogwheel rigidity and bradykinesia, that were more severe in the right hand. These symptoms have deteriorated progressively for 2 years, but the cognitive function was relatively pre-served. Brain MRI revealed atrophic changes in both parietal lobes. FDG-PET showed an asymmetrical hypometabo-lism in supplementary motor area, parietal lobe, thalamus and basal ganglia, which was more severe in the left than the right hemisphere.

A case of a third ventricular epidermoid is presented, which was diagnosed by conray ventriculography and computerized tomography. The tumor was subtotally removed through a low parieto-occipital approach and ventriculo-peritoneal shunt was performed. The epidermoid of the third ventricle is extremely rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literatures. It's incidence, preoperative diagnosis, surgical technique and complications are briefly reviewed.

BACKGROUND: The nature of the interactions between the vestibular and autonomic systems is complex and has not been fully defined. The vestibuloocular reflex induced by sinusoidal rotation and the activity of the autonomic nerves in the heart were measured to investigate the interactions between the vestibular system and the autonomic nervous system in healthy adults. METHODS: Eye movements induced by sinusoidal rotation of the whole body or optokinetic stimulation at 0.04 Hz were analyzed in regards to their gain, phase, and symmetry. EKG was measured during vestibular stimulation and analyzed in heart rate variabilities including mean R-R interval, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variance (CV) of R-R interval, and power spectrum of the low frequency region (LF) and high fre-quency region (HF). RESULTS: The gain of eye movement was 0.65 degree +/-0.03 by rotatory stimulation and 0.70 degree +/-0 . 0 2 by optokinetic stimulation. The gain of visual suppression was 0.08 degree +/-0.02, which was a significant decrease com-pared with the rotatory stimulation, and visual enhancement increased the gain significantly, 0.84 degree +/-0.04 (p<0.01). In the R-R interval, the resting condition (control) was 0.82 degree +/-0.03 sec. Rotatory and optokinetic stimulations did not show any significant differences compared with the control, however, visual suppression showed a significant increase and visual enhancement showed a significant decrease (p<0.01). CV was 0.06 degree +/-0.02 in the control and visual enhancement increased significantly (p<0.05). In LF/HF the control was 1.40 degree +/-0.23, which was not different from the rotatory or optokinetic stimulation. However, visual suppression decreased the LF/HF significantly and visual enhancement increased the LF/HF significantly compared with the control (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the degree of gain corresponds with LF/HF and that increased gain in visual enhancement is related to the activity of the sympathetic nerves.
