One family with asymmetric septal hypertrophy was reported. The propositus of this family was 31 years old man who was admitted because of transient syncope. His father and one brother were affected but asymptomatic. His sister was suddenly died at age 21 years. The interventricular septal thickness to left ventricular posterior wall thickness ratios were measured using M-mode echocard ogram. In the affected family, echocardiogram revealed asymmetric septal hypertrophy (1.5:1, 2:1, 1.9:1 respectively). In the propositus, cardiac catheterization and simultaneous biventricular cineangiography were performed. Pressure study revealed mild peak systolic pressure gradient within left ventricular apex and left ventricular outflow tract (4mm Hg respectively). Biventricular cineangiogram showed the septal width increased inferiorly, and left ventricular endocardial surface of the septum was straight, while the right ventricular border convex toward the right ventricle.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of antegrade interlocking intramedullary nailing for complex fractures of the proximal and midshaft of the humerus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiologic results in 11 cases, which were treated by antegrade interlocking intramedullary nail. We assessed clinical outcomes according to ASES scoring system and radiological result. RESULTS: All cases had bony union and the mean union period was 14.7 weeks. Postoperative complications were 1 loss of fixation, 2 proximal protrusion of nail and 2 temporary shoulder pain. A case with loss of fixation was treated open reduction and refixation and had union at 14 weeks postoperatively. The mean ASES score was 85.9 and the clinical outcomes were 4 excellent, 5 good, 1 fair and 1 poor. CONCLUSION: Intramedullary nailing for complex fractures of the proximal and midshaft of the humerus can offer a reliable treatment option.

Rupture of the extensor tendon caused by a posteriorly displaced lunate fragment is an uncommon complication of Kienbock's disease. Thirteen cases have been reported in the English literatures, but it has never been reported in the Korean literatures. We report a case of rupture of the third and fourth extensor tendons secondary to advanced Kienbock's disease that was successfully treated by excision of the lunate and a tendon transfer.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the central nervous system (CNS) usually involves the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, and T1-weighted MR images normally demonstrate infundibular thickening and/or a mass lesion in the hypothalamus and the absence of a posterior pituitary "bright spot". We recently encountered a case of CNS Langerhans cell histiocytosis with no posterior pituitary "bright spot" and with lesions involving the cerebellum and basal ganglia but not the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
