The patient with an anterior open bite has one of the most difficult orthodontic problem to correct Previous studies have yielded different conclusions as to exactly where the morphologic problems associated with vertical dysplasia- high angle cases are located. In order to identify the cephalometric features of high angle cases and highlight the measurements that characterize high angle cases, 109 pretreatment cephalograms, 35 high angle, 37 average angle, and 37 low angle cases, were analyzed and compared statistically. As the mandibular plane was steeper, the anterior facial height, especially lower anterior facial height, became greater, and the posterior facial height became smaller. All the dentoalveolar vertical dimensions, especially in upper, increased. Arid all the skeletal angular measurements increased. Especially Lower gonial angle had most positive correlation to mandibular plane angle. Upper incisor was lingually inclined, and lower incisor was labially inclined in high angle cases.

This study was done in 8 cases of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis which were confirmed by positive C.S.F. cytology at Yonsei University Medical Center from August 1987 to September 1989. We found following results through investigating the clinical features and prognosis of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. 1. Primary site was stomach in 4 patients, lung in 3 patients, rectum in 1 patient 2. Positive Cytology was 6 patients at initial CSF study, and 2 patients at second CSF study. 3. Median diagnostic interval from diagnosis of primary tumor was 76 days. 4. Frequent neurologic symptoms were headache, nausia and vomiting, and frequent neurologic signs were nuchal rigidity and weakness of lower extremities at this study. 5. Median survival interval from diagnosis of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis was 7 days without treatment, 31 days (15 days-45 days) with radiation therapy, and over 115 days (80 days-over 156 days) with radiation therapy and intrathecal MTX. Two patients were living when this study was completed.

After aseptic or septic meningitis, some neurologic complications such as convulsions, delirium, rigidity, cerebral infarctions and cerebral hemorrhage can be developed. The cerebral infarction after meningitis is caused by arterial or venous occlusions. Involvement of small perforating arteries leads to ganglionic infarcts while severe sapsm of major vessels may lead to massive infarctions in the distribution of middle and/or anterior cerebral arteries. Cortical venous and/or dural thrombosis (especially in the superior sagittal sinus) produces typical features, including multiple areas of white matter hemorrhagic infarction. These neurologic complications are common in bacterial meningitis and very rare in aseptic meningitis. We experienced a case of cerebral infarction in MCA/ACA territory and subdural hemorrhage in occipital lobe after aseptic meningitis in 10 month-old-boy. We report a case with a brief review of related literature.

Cryptococcosis is an acute, subacute or chronic infectian caused by the encap sulated yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. The case of Cryptococcosis is a 2 5/12 year-old boy with involvement of the skin, lungs, liver, spleen, lymph node and central nervous system is reported. He has suffered from fever, nausea., vomiting and multiple skin lesions for a month. Thcre were various cutaneous lesions consisting of papules, pustules, nodules, crusts and ulcers on the scalp, face, back, buttocks and both extremities. Diagnosis was confirmed by the clinical characteristics, histopathologic findings and culture of the C. neoformans from cerebrospinal fluid and marcerated skin tissue. He was successfully treated with combination of Amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine.

Cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum is a rare benign neoplasm that occurs predominantly in young to middle-aged women and tends to recur locally. Pelvic viscera is the most common predilection site of cystic mesothelioma. Authors report a case of multicystic mesothelioma of the pelvic pelvic peritoneum. The pelvic ultrasonography showed a large, confluent, and thin-walled multilocular cystic mass occupying the pelvic cavity and lower abdomen. The cystic mass was flattened and elongated. Each cyst of variable size was separated by thin septa and filled with translucent fluid. Cystic mesothelioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of the cystic peritoneal masses, especially in reproductive-aged women.
