We had experienced 2 cases of acute subdural hematoma due to vitaimin K(vit. K) deficiency. They were 44-and 42-day-old. After the adminstration of vit.K1, prolonged prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) were corrected, so the surgical treatment ws performed. We supposed the predisposing factors were breast feeding and unknown hepatic pathology. No complication remained to one infant but the other multiple cerebral infarctions. The etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention are discussed. We insist on neonatal administration of vit. K1 for the prevention of bleeding tendency. If intracranial hemorrhage develops, we must keep in mind that the early neurosurgical intervention may be needed.

PURPOSE: Recently, there are many good reports on the arthroscopic management of tibial condylar fractures. But, it may be appropriate for selected tibial condylar fractures and also needs a skilled technique. So we report the results of the tibial condylar fractures treated by the arthroscopy and limited percutaneous fixation or the arthroscopic-assisted management with conventional internal fixation without arthrotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From June 1996 to December 1997, we treated 22 cases of the tibial condy- lar fractures including relatively comminuted one and analysed the results of patients who have been observed at least 1 year with Porters knee evaluation criteria. RESULTS: In 18 out of 22 cases, the results were Acceptable on symptoms(excellent 3, good 15, fair 4), in 18, on function(excellent 10, good 8, fair 3), in 21, on appearance(excellent 12, good 9, fair 1) and in 20, on radiographic appearance(excellent 11, good 9, fair 2). Overall results were Acceptable in 18 cases(82%) and Unacceptable in 4 cases(18%). CONCLUSION: The arthroscopic-assisted management with conventional internal fixation without arthrotomy can be the recommendable treatment for the tibial condylar fractures, including relatively comminuted one, without complications.

A case of carbuncle of the left kidney is reported with a review of literature. The patient reported herewith was 19 years old student, who complained of fever, vomiting and the tenderness in the left flank. His urine specimen showed numerous pus cells and hematological studies revealed leucocytosis. On intravenous pyelography the left kidney appeared normal. However, dye excretion by the right idney was delayed and there was a compression deformity of the lower calyx and extravasation of the dye into the renal parenchyma of the lower pole. The history and clinical findings seemed consistent with a renal carbuncle. A nephrectomy was performed as the procedure of choice. The specimen revealed, on cut surface, a large necrotic area measuring 2.1 cm in diameter, which communicated with the lower calyx. Culture of the abscess disclosed colonies of staphylococcus.

Skull base surgery has developed through the evolution of imaging, anatomic research, surgical approach and reconstructive techniques. The basic disciplines of approaching skull base lesions are provide direct vision, minimizing brain retraction, excellent exposure and minimal blood loss. The focus of this report is to review the advantages of skull base approach in our cases and suggest some indications. We experienced 20 cases of skull base surgery by a team approach consisting of a neurosurgeon and plastic surgeon. The surgical approach were supraorbital osteotomy(5 case), orbitozygomatic osteotomy(8 case), orbitozygomaticoglenoid osteotomy (5 case ) and orbitozygomaticoglenoidocondylar osteotomy (2 case). In our experience, these approaches provided excellent exposure of the lesion, direct access to lesions and minimal brain retraction thereby better outcome.
