Occasionally, patients with gastrointestinal Crohn's disease (CD) develop granulomatous skin lesions at sites remote from the gastrointestinal tract, separated from other ulcerations by normal skin, a phenomenon that has been referred to as metastatic cutaneous CD. Although metastatic CD of the vulval region has been often reported in English literature, we could not find such cases with family history. We report a case of vulval CD occurring in siblings.

2.A Case of Dyschromatosis Symmetrica Hereditaria.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 2000;38(10):1411-1413
Dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria(DSH), also known as reticulated acropigmentation of Dohi, is a rare pigmentary disorder that has autosomal dominant inheritance. Characteristic lesion includes a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules with reticulate pattern, which are distributed on the dorsal aspects of the extremities. We report a 5-year-old boy who showed typical DSH with family history in four generations.

3.Superficial Candidal Infection Occurred on the Site of Epidermal Transplantation.
Korean Journal of Medical Mycology 2000;5(4):179-181
An epidermal grafting using the top of suction blister has been used successfully for the treatment of depigmented skin, such as vitiligo, achromic areas after dermabrasion, and burns. A 9-year-old girl showed the delayed wound healing of epidermal grafting site for the treatment of vitiligo on popliteal fossa. Direct microscopic examination (KOH) from the wound showed numerous hyphae. Fungus culture and germ tube test confirmed Candida albicans from the wound surface. The wound healed by antifungal treatment, leaving scar.

Among the 85 cases of prosthetic replacement of femoral neck fracture which had been operated at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Korea Veterans Hospital from January, 1982 to May, 1990, 32 cases (15 unipolar hemiarthroplasty and 17 bipolar hemiarthroplasty) were examined clinically and radiologically at an average 7.7 years postoperatively. And the results were as follows; 1. The group I (Unipolar hip hemiarthroplasty without cement) had Harris hip score - average 79.4. The group II (Unipolar hip hemiarthroplasty with cement) had Harris hip score average 87.3. The group III (Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty without cement) had Harris hip score average 80.5. The group IV (Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty with cement) had Harris hip score average 86. 2. There were 2 cases of stem loosening (13%) among 15 cases in unipolar hip hemiarthroplasty and 1 case (6%) among 17 cases in bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty. 3. The movement of two components in bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty was noted in all cases and the movement of the outer bearing joint was more active than that of the inner. And the movement of the two components was not correlated with the use of cement. But Harris hip score was superior cement stem group to noncement stem group. 4. Unipolar hip hemiarthroplasty showed the similar clinical and radiological results with bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty of femoral neck fracture in the elderly. As a result, unipolar and bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty were considered the proper treatment method of the femoral neck fracture in the elderly.

The impingement syndrome has an anatomical character that occur against the anterior edge and the undersurface of anterior third of the acromion, coracoacromial ligament and acromioclavicular joint. The treatment consists of conservative and surgical things. We consider the surgical intervention only in cases fail to control pain by conservative treatment over 3 months(from Feb. 1990 to Jan. 1994). The author experienced 15 cases (14 pts) in positive impingement sign & test and evaluated by shoulder arthrography in all cases. 1. The mean age was 60 years ranged from 48 to 68 years and the average symptom duration was 23 months. 2. There were all positive impingement sign & test clinically. 3. There were partial tear of rotator cuff in 3 cases and complete tear in 12 cases radiologically. 4. The anterior acromioplasty with division of coracoacromial ligament was performed in all cases, additional rotator cuff repair in 3 cases and bicipital tenodesis in 2 cases. 5. At the follow up based on UCLA shoulder rating scale, results were excellent & good in 13(86%) and unsatisfactory in 2(14%) cases.

In the paget's disease involving the vertebra, the symptom and sign of compression come from encroachment on the spinal cord due to the enlarging vertebral bodies, pedicles and laminae. The cord compression appears to be preceded by a long insidious period of noncharacteristic clinical symptoms with minor neurologic dysfunction. The lumbar syndrome of Paget's disease is classified according to its severity, clinical findings, biochemical factors and radiologic patterns. The severity of neurologic complication in Paget's disease involving the vertebra varies according to the level involved. The outcome depends on the suddeness of symptom onset and the effectiveness of decompression. We have experienced a case of Paget's disease involving long bones and lumbar spine in 56 year old male patient, in which surgical decompression produced improvement. We report a case of spinal stenosis in paget's disease with brief review of literature.

Segmental neurofibromatosis is rare disorder characterized by cafe-au-lait macules and neurofibromas, or only neurofibromas, limited to one region of the body. Typically the neurofibromas are unilateral and are occupied a single dermatome in most patients. We report a 62-year-old man with segmental neurofibromatosis on the right knee in the distribution of dermatomes L3 and L4.

The Marcus ankle arthrodesis was carried out in 16 patients at department of orthopaedic surgery of Korea Veterans Hospital from January 1989 to December 1993. All of patients were reviewed and evaluated with subjective and functional rating scales according to the Mazur scoring system. The average follow up was 23 months, ranging from 12 months to 60 months. The Marcus ankle arthrodesis involves a chevron osteotomy, tibial onlay graft medially, internal fixation with staples and screws. According to the Mazur score, the results were 6 cases of Excellent, 7 cases of Good. The average Mazur score was 75.1. There were 4 cases of complication, a non-union, a superficial wound infection, a bursitis, and a tendon injury. In summary the Marcus ankle arthrodesis by chevron osteotomy seems to be a good procedure, which gives solid bony union with short duration, relief of pain, normal looking ankle configuration without leg length discrepancy and good function with few complications.

Phase and Amplitude Image were developed to overcome the subjective nature of interpretation for cinematic endless loop display of radionuclide gated blood pool scan. To evaluate the usefulness of color coded phase image in coronary artery disease, we conducted a clinical study with coronary angiography and phase image in 23 patients, and compared the results of those studies. 1) The results of coronary angiography revealed normal coronary artery in 6, 1 vessel disease in 11, 2 vessel disease in 4, and 3 vessel disease in 2 patients. 2) Color-coded Phase Image revealed abnormal phase area in 2/2(100%) of 3 vessel disease patients and in 3/4(75%) of 2 vessel disease patients, in 5/11(45%) of 1 vessel disease patients, and only 1/6(16%) of normal coronary artery. 3) Among the patients who disclosed abnormal phase image, 5 patients of 2-or3-vessl disease revealed abnormal phase through whole left ventricular area, but 3 patients with right coronary artery lesion and 2 patients with left antrior descending artery lesion showed localized abnormal phase area, infero-apical and anterior portion respectively, which were in accord with each coronary lesion. We concluded that the phase image may be useful in evaluation of the regional wall motion abnormalities in the patients of coronary artery disease. Further studies seem to be neccessary to clarify the sensitivity and specificity of the phase image in the each disease entity group.
