During the period of 4 years from May, 1981 to April, 1985, 71 cases of obstructing subinfundibular muscular bundles of the right ventricle in congential cardiovascular anomalies were diagnosed by cariac catheterization and angiography at Hanyang University. The finding of right ventricular angiogram and degree of the right ventricular outflow obstruction, clinical data, electrocardiographic data and hemodynamic data were correlated irrespectively. The summary of this article is as follows. 1) The age of patients was ranged from 1 to 22 years old with a mean age of 8 years old. There were 39 males and 32 females with M:F ratio of 1.2:1. The incidence of obstructing subinfundibular muscular bundles of the right ventricle in congenital cardiovascular anomalies was higher with increasing age. 2) The associated cardic anomalies were as follows: 40 cases (56%) of isolated ventricular septal defect(VSD), 13(18%) of tetralogy of Fallot physiology, 7(10%) of patent ductus arteriosus(PDA), 3(4%) of pulmonary stenosis, 1 aortic stenosis, 1 double outlet of right ventricle(DORV), 1 trilogy, 1 ostium secundum defect, etc. The incidence of VSD with or without other associated cardiovascular anomalies was 56 cases(79%) out of 71 cases. 3) Maximum systolic pressure gradient between proximal and distal chamber of the right ventricle were under 25 mmHg in 32 cases, between 25 and 50 mmHg in 13 and above 50 mmHg in 26. Pressure gradients of all 7 cases with PDA were under 25 mmHg. 4) Correlative assesment of angiographic manifestation(2 indicies:Diameter of right ventricular outflow tract(systolic phase)/diameter of tricuspid valvular annulus(diastolic phase)=OT/TV, Diameter of right ventricular outflow tract(systolic phase)/Length of right ventricular diaphragmatic surface(systolic phase)=OT/RV) according to pressure gradient, OT/Tv and OT/RV values were lower the increasing pressure gradient, between proximal and distal chamber of the right ventricle. These were reverse correlations but coefficients of correlation(r) were-0.49and -0.48. Therefore, the degree of right ventricular outflow obstruction could be predicted, using 2 indices of right ventricular angiogram in individual cases, but could not be calculated accurately. 5) This indicated that pressuer gradient was also affected by technical errors, variable cardic anomalies, development of sinusoid, age and the other factors. 6) We assumed that non-invasive Doppler echocardiography could be useful in making the diagnosis and follow up of the patient with obstructing subinfundibular muscle bundles in right ventricle.

During the period of 18 months from December 1984 to May 1986, 41 cases(25.0%) of subpulmonic ventricular septal defect(VSD) were diagnosed among 164 cases of isolated VSD in the cardiac catheterization labortory. The incidence of aortic regurgitation associated subpulmonic VSD(19.5%) was much higher than that of the other types of VSD(2.4%). None of patients less than 1 year old developed aortic regurgitation, the incidence of which has increased with the age after that. That amount of left to right shunt through the VSD was smaller in the patients with aortic cusp prolapse than those without aortic cusp prolapse, and the severity of aortic regurgitation was correlated with that of aortic cusp prolapse. 10 out of 41 patients revealed more than 20mmHg pressure gradient through right ventricle outflow tract and 9 of these patient were as sociated with aortic cusp prolapse.

PURPOSE: A tumor and mature ovarian cystic teratoma rarely coexist, but since it may affect treatment andprognosis, appropriate pre-surgical diagnosis is important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate thedifference in CT findings between a tumor coexisting with a mature ovarian cystic teratoma and a simple matureovarian cystic teratoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT scans of seven cases of tumor coexisting with mature ovariancystic teratoma were reviewed. In each case, size, margin, nature, septation, solid portion, ascites, invasion,and metastasis were analysed. RESULTS: Coexistent tumors were histopathologically diagnosed as squamous cellcarcinoma in three patients, carcinoid in three, and fibrothecoma in one. In contrast with a simple matureteratoma, a tumor coexisting with a mature cystic teratoma developed in older patients and had a more solidportion, which showed contrast enhancement but did not show calcification or a fat component. Where a tumor andmature cystic teratoma coexisted, ascites and the invasion of adjacent structures were also common. CONCLUSION: If, in an older patient, CT scanning reveals an ovarian cystic tumor with a large solid portion but nocalcification or fat, coexistent tumor should be suspected.
