We reported one case of male, aged 42 years who was first seen on September 23, '71. His visual acuity were no light perception. Funduscopic examination showed optic atrophy in the right eye and papilledema in the left eye, projected about two diopters. This case of Foster-Kennedy syndrome was caased by sphenoidal meningioma, confirmed after craniotomy.

The role of the Orthodontist in cleft lip and cleft palate therapy is primarily ill correction of malocclusion which is required by practically every child who has these defects. He can contribute to the assessment of dento-facial growth and development. We may gain the possible limited correction of delayed malocclusion due to cleft lip and palate. The authors have attempted delayed orthodontic treatment of a cleft lip and palate of 12.9 years old girl, who had a cleft lip and palate of surgical closure at 2,3 and 4 years old.

We reviewed the 43 medical records of patients with cellulitis or erysipelas who had been admitted at the depar1ment of dermatology of Seoul National University Hospital and followed them up for mean 21.6 months. The results were as follows. 1. The sex ratio of patients with cellulitis was 1:1.4 and the average age was 49 years. 2. The lower extremity as the most frequently invloved site of cellulitis with the frequency of 58.1% (25 cases), with the head and neck being involved in 16 cases(37.2%) and trunk and upper extremity in 1 case each(2.3% ). 3. The portals of infecticin were suspected in 33 cases(76% ), where tinea pedis was detect,ed in 18 cases(41.9%), previous skin infeection 10 cases(23.3%) and trauma in 9 cases(20.9%). 4. Initial systemic symptoms were fever(76.7%), chill(65.1%) and headache(37.2%). Erythema(100%), local heating(90,7%), tenderness(88.4%), swelling(86.0%), ulcer(16.3%), bulla(14.0%), lymphangitis(9.2%) and lymphadenit,is(9.2%) were found in the skin lesions. 5. The laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis in 35.7%, elevaed ESR in 86.8% positive 6. ASO titer in 63.0% and positive CRP in 80%, Microorganism. were detected in only 1 of 15 blood cultures, in 2 of 4 bulla fluid cultures and in 7 of 9 bus cultures. There was no growth of causative microorganisms in 3 tissue cultures and 9 saline needle aspiration cultures. Penicillin was used as primary antibiotics in 19 cases, which changed to another antibiotics due to lack of improvement in 3 cases and cefazolin was used in 21 cases, which changed in 2 cases due to the same reason. 7. Average admission priod was 11 days(range from 3 to 20 days) and 30.2% of patients wit.h cellulitis experienced recurrence, but 48% on low extrernity in contrast with 6.7% on head and neck.

Localized subconjunctival abscess, episcleritis, recurrent lid abscess, and chorioretinitis are not uncommon diseases of the eye due to various causes such as infective emboli, buried cilia, trauma, autoimmune reactions, or specific infection. The cysticercus cellu]osae has been found in all parts of the eye and the lid, but there are less common presentation of the infection foci than of the cysticercus cellulosae alone. A subconjunctival abscess which is located in the upper fornix of the right eye near the caruncle, episcleritis which is localized in the upper half of the conjunctiva of the left eye, a recurrent abscess of the lid which is located in the right lower lid, a chorioretinitis which is not good visualization because of many cells and flares in the vitreous body, are reported due to a cysticercus larva. No systemic manifestation of cysticercus is found at all. The literature for ocular cysticercosis is referred.

Since its introduction, fluorescein angiography has been widely used in diagnosing and evaluating treatment of diseases of the retina, uveal tract, and optic nerve. A case with Behcet's disease was studied by means of fluorescein fundus angiography. This, pre summed a retinal angiopathy, has been diagnosed Behcet's disease after developing symptoms of hypopyon iritis, intermittent fever, aphthous stomatitis, and genital ulceration. The fluorescein angiography in Behcet's disease is typically shown a specific finding. Extravasation of the dye waS most conspicuous in capillaries over-lying the optic nerve head, the radial peripapillary capillaries, retinal capillaries proper and retinal veins. Retinal arteriols generally lacked extravasation phenomenon. Edematous swelling of the disc, diffuse turbidity of the posterior fundus and macular cysts are regarded as consquences of the fluorographically confirmed increased permeability of the retinal vessels with resultant edema of the neuropithelium. Pathogenesis of the retinal angiopathy in Behcet's disease and diseases with retinal edema and hyperpermeability were discussed with references. The fluorographic findings thus indicate that the pathological involvement of retinal vessels play a major factor in the diagnosis and prognosis of ocular manifestation of Behcet's disease.

189-192 Six male patients with typical symptoms of Behcet's syndrome were subjected to a clinical examination. One of these was a Chinese patient. The age when the disease started was between 20 to 39 years. All of them became blind but no one was dead.

The results of 8 cases of herpes simplex keratitis and one case of corneo-lenticular adhesion caused by explosion wound treated by cryogenic instrument (Amoils cryo unit) are presented. The cryoapplicator (2mm in diameter) were applied on the lesions 7-15 seconds. (Temperature: -50 degrees C ~ -70 degrees C). One of herpes simplex keratitis patients was suffered from redness of the lids following cryotherapy for 3 days.

The simultaneous ipsilateral fractures of the arm and forearm are relatively rare and there is no exact method of treatment for these fractures. Authors has clinically analized 37 cases of these fractures which are treated between September, 1973 and May, 1987 at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hanyang University College of Medicine. The results can be summarized as follows. l. Among 440 patients with humeral fracture, there were associated fractures of the ipsilateral forearm bone in 69 patients (13. 4%). 2. The main cause of these fracture was traffic accident and the next one was fell from a height. 3. The most frequently associated injury was nerve paralysis. 4. The methods of treatment were classified as follows . 1 st method Both arm and forearm were treated by internal fixation (32.1%). 2nd method The arm was treated by internal fixation and the forearm by conservative method (11.8%). 3rd method The arm was treated by conservative method and the forearm by in- ternal fixation (11.8%). 4rdmethod Both arm and forearm were treated by conservative method (44. 3%). 5. By Andersons criteria, excellent and satisfactory results were obtained in 47. 1% of cases which were treated by mainly 1 st method.
