Subretinal neovascular membrane in the macula is a major cause of central visual loss. We reviewed the clinical records, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography of the 172 eyes of 166 patients in order to disclose the causes and clinical characteristics of subretinal neovascular membrane and performed argon and krypton photocoagulation in 22 patients. The common causes of subretinal neovascular membrane are idiopathic neovascular membrane, myopic and senile macular degeneration in order(27.1, 26.5, 22.3% aa). There was no significant difference in changes of visual acuity and extent of subretinal neovascular membrane between treatment and non-treatment groups.

Two cases of association of brain tumor and intracranial aneurysms are reported. One case is association of pituitary adenoma with anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The other is association of acoustic neurinoma with multiple aneurysms and it is exceedingly rare reviewing the available literature. Various pathogenesis for association of brain tumor with cerebral aneurysm have been postulated.

Accurate preoperative CT staging of renal tumor affects the therapeutic approach and aids the urologist in planning the appropriate procedure. CT staging were compared in 33 patients with pathologically confirmed stage of renal tumor. The overall accuracy of CT staging in renal cell carcinoma is 87.0%. The overall accuracy of CT staging in renal pelvis tumor is 80.0%. The major role of CT was in the evaluation of renal capsule, perirenal fat, Gerota's fascia, renal vein, inferior vena cava and lymph node for invasion. We conclude that at the present time CT is the optimal technique to stage renal tumor.

Intracranial arachnoid cysts are uncommon congenital lesions of considerable interest and importance, the origins and exact nature of which remain uncertain. They account for about 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions4). Its predilection sites are in the sylvian fissure, the interhemispheral fissure, the cerebral convexity, the base of the brain, and over the midline of the cerebellum in the posterior fossa6)11). We are reporting a case of arachnoid cyst, developed in the left sylvian fissure in a ten years old male patient.

In this paper, the real-time telemedicine system based on multimedia data was designed. In order to describe patients to medical specialists, the system included multimedia data. The prototype system designed in this paper effectively integrated multimedia components in a single computer, as well as compromise the compression, interface, medical imaging standards and modular software architectures. The mobile bed was manufactured to improve the movement of the system. Two experiments had been conducted to evaluate the technical functionality and clinical usability. Using the data compression and priority control, the telemedicine system transmitted multimedia data in real-time at the internet and the ethernet network. Inter-hospital experiments and Sang-Am World-Cup Stadium experiments demonstrate the feasibility to be effectively used.

Renal arteriovenous fistula is a relatively rare disease, which was first described by Varela in 1923. Most of these have been diagnosed in recent years because of the increasing use of both percutaneous needle biopsy of the kidney and renal arteriography as diagnostic tools. We report one case of intrarenal arteriovenous fistula after stabbing, diagnosed by selective renalarteriography, with the review of literatures.

The use and safety of the esophageal electrocardiogram for detection and diagnosis of using lead ll in major burn patient, especially burn of chest and face Compared with lead ll , 100% of cardiac rhythm was properly detected with the esopha-geal electrcardiogram. Large distinct P waves, resulting from the proximity of the esophageal lead to the left atrium, clearly established the temporal relationship between atrial and ventricular depo- larization Ne complications were encountered during the atudy. The esophageal lead is safe, simple to use, and provides valuable information fur dele- ction or diagnosis of cardiac rhythm during major burn anesthesia.

Craniopharyngiomas are usually considered to arise from the pituitary stalk and upper aspect of the pituitary gland. However, they very rarely develop from the floor of the third ventricle or the lamina terminalis, and are intrinsically confined to the third ventricle ; about 40 cases have been reported in the literatures. We have recently experienced a case of intrinsic intraventricular craniopharyngioma with the density a little higher than cerebrospinal fluid on the brain CT.
