Artichia with papular lesions is a rare congenit,al disease characteriezed by the association of alopecia and papular lesions. We report a case of atrichia with papular lesions in 12-year-old. Alopecia of the scalp and eye brows were present at birth. Nurnerous papular lesions are presentation the trunk, buttock and inguinal area. The histopathologic iinding of a papular lesion showed ker till-filled cyst, and eruptive vellous hair cyst. The patient showed reticulat.ed hyperpigmentation on the hands and feet in addition to the characteristic feature of atriclia with papular lesions.

Isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation. Here, we report the case of a 33-year-old woman who had suffered from recurrent transient ischemic attacks for 6 years. Preoperative cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography angiography revealed a diverticulum near the apex. The diverticulum was successfully obliterated by cardiopulmonary bypass. We suggest that isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum can be easily corrected with a low surgical risk by patch repair and plication techniques.

Injury to major retroperitoneal vessels is a recognized life-threatening complication of lumbar diskectomy. CT can depict vessel tearing and consequent retroperitoneal hemorrhage. We report a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to right common iliac vein injury during lumbar diskectomy with a brief review of the literature.

Enlargement of the gingival caused by phenytoin. An anticonvulsant used in the treatment of epilepsy, occurs in some of the patients receiving the drug. Its incidence varies from 3 to 62 percent, with the greater frequencies in younger patients. The hyperplasia is usually generalized throughout the mouth, but is more severe tendency in the maxillary and mandibular anterior regions. 18 year old male patient was admitted to our Department of Dentistry with the complaint of generalized painless gingival swelling. After the consult of the N.M. and laboratory study, the gingivectomy and gingivoplasty was performed. The periodontal pack and tin foil was applied on the attached gingival to protect a surgical site and bleeding control. We obtained a good result of improved esthetics and function.

Capsule contraction syndrome is severe constriction of the anterior capsular opening and equatorial capsular bag diameter after extracapsular cataract surgery. It is relatively common in patients with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis, but rarely in can-opener capsulotomy or anterior radial capsular tears. It is due to capsular bag contraction from fibrous dysplasia of residual lens epithelial cells with weakened zonular resistance. We experienced a case of capsule contraction syndrome in a 72-year old woman with retinitis pigmentosa, who had phacoemulsification following an intact 5.0mm-continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis 4 months before. After successful YAG laser radial anterior relaxing capsulotomy, her visual acuity restored to 0.3, limited by cystoid macular edema.

A collodion baby is born with a tough, inelastic parchment-like membrane covering the whole body surface. As the meinbrane fissures and peels, a more characteristic ichthyosiform change is evident beneath the collodion membrane. Uncommonly, normal skin is found under it. We herein present two cases af collodion baby, which were confirmed as a sporadic case of lamellar ichthyosis and a case of lamellar exfoliation of the newborn, respectively, after long-term clinical observation. It is necessary that detailed genetical and molecular biological studies should be perforrned in order to elucidate the fur:damental, molecular changes that cause these dramatic cutaneous changes.
