The hamate fracture is very rare condition. The mechanism of fracture may be attributed to direct trauma by rolling down. We have experienced a case of fracture of the body of the hamate bone. It was treated by conservative method. The result was satisfactory with conservative treatment without traumatic arthritis, nonunion, ulnar nerve palsy, flexor digitorum profundus tendinitis & limitation of motion. A case of fracture of the body of the hamate bone is reported with brief review of literature.

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a condition of unknown origin probably related to an autoimmune phenomenon involving an IgA immune complex disorder. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a rare cause of intramural hematoma of the duodenum. We herein report a case of intramural hematoma of the duodenum and duodenal obstruction associated with Henoch-Schonlein purpura in a 14-yearold boy. On admission, the patient presented with hematemesis due to duodenal ulcer bleeding. Three days later, he developed both forearm and calf purpurae, fever and severe bile juice vomiting. An endoscopy revealed a luminal obstructing erythematous mass with bulging nature at the third portion of the duodenum. Abdominal CT scan and hypotonic duodenography showed intramural hematoma in the third portion of the duodenum and luminal obstruction. Hematoma removal was performed for the correction of intestinal obstruction. Increased awareness of the gastrointestinal manifestations of Henoch-Schonlein purpura should aid in the recognition of this disorder.

We present a case of meningeal and brain metastasis of multiple myeloma. A 60-year-old woman who had been diagnosed as multiple myeloma two years ago, was referred to neurosurgery department because of headache and nausea. The magnetic resonance image of the brain showed a large epidural mass and the parenchymal enhancement. The patient received an operation of tumor removal and cranioplasty. A histological diagnosis of metastatic multiple myeloma was made.

To investigate the retinal toxicity of ciprofloxacin on retina, 23 New Zealand white rabbits received vitrectomy with intravitreal infusion that contain of 1 g/ml, 2 g/ml, 5 g/ml, 10 g/ml, and 25 g/ml of ciprofloxacin(20 eyes) or balanced salt solution(BSS) only(3 eyes). In transmission elctron microscope, no disintegration of all retinal layers and slightly irregular pattern of disc of outer segment of rod were observed in 1, 2 and 5 g/ml of ciprofloxacin groups at 14 days postinfusion. In concentration of 10 g/ml or greater, retina showed destroyed inner and outer segment of the photoreceptor cells, pyknotic nuclei in the outer nuclear layer, lucent vacoules and pigment granules in apical cytoplasm of the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE), loss of photoreceptor outer segment-RPE integration. This study suggest that infusion with 5 g/ml or less of ciprofloxacin may be safe when used in the treatment of bacterial endophthalmitis.
