A case of osteold osteoma was presented because of its rarity in number particularly in localization of tumor, that is, subperiosteal in position. Also we could treat the patient successfully by surgical intervention and the removed specimen preserved beautifully all the character and contour of the tumor grossly and microsoopically.

This is to present 44 cases of hip fractures, of these 28 being fractures of femoral neck and the remainder, intertrochanteric, which were treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital for four years and 8 months from Jan. 1965 to Aug. 1969. 1. There were 33 males. and 11 females in the series. 26 cases(59.1) were over 51 years of age. 2. The femoral neck fractures were treated by means of Smith Petersen nailing in 16 cases, modified Girdlestone hip arthroplasty in 3 cases, Austin-Moore hip prosthesis in 6 cases and other methods in 3 cases. 3. Modified Girdlestone hip arthroplasty could be a treatment of choice for femoral neck fracture requiring hip arthroplasty for those unsuitable for extensive surgery. 4. The intertrochanteric fractures of femur except for 3 unstable fractures were treated successfully with the Smith-Petersen nail and plate, following anatomical reduction of fracture. In 3 unstable fractures, satisfactory stabilization and internal fixation was obtained by the method of medial displacement of proximal part of distal fragment of fracture.

Although pectoralis major plays an important role as a prime or assistant mover for the varied range of shoulder movement, there was no significant functional loss in ordinary activities in case of congenital absence of this muscle, because of compensation of surrounding muscles. This report describes a 22-year-old soldier with unilateral congenital absence of pectoralis major, who had difficulties in specific upper extremity movement, such as throwing or climbing. There was no visible or radiological evidence of associated anomalies of ipsilateral upper extremity. Electrodiagnostic study showed normal findings except delayed latency of medial pectoral nerve supplying rudimentary pectoralis minor of the involved side. On isokinetic study of movement for both shoulders, peak torque and average power for horizontal adduction were markedly-diminished on the involved side.

Subperiosteal Cortical Defect is a symptomless rarefaction of cortical bone which begins most often on the external surface of the medial and posterior cortical walls of the lower end of the femur in children between the ages of 3 and 6 years. The name of Subperiosteal Cortical Defect was first used by Aegerter who differentiated it from non-osteogenic fibroma. The authors found out 5 positive cases of incidental findings among 62 cases of both knee joint X-ray of which 3 was male and 2 was female. Also we experienced 3 cases which necessiat d a correct diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Because this is a common lesion, it frequently accompanies more serious bone conditions, and because this is self-limited disease, treatment is not necessary. It was emphasized that its nature should be understood by all those dealing with bone disease lest it be overdiagnosed and overtreated.

We report the first Korean case of HTLV-I associated myelopathy (HAM), which was confirmed by Western blot assay of serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Interestingly, the proband's wife was a Japanese Korean who had lived in the endemic area of HAM, Kyushu. Japan, Investigations revealed significantly elevated anti HTLV-I antibody titers in the serum, but not in the CSF, suggesting that she was a carrier of HTLV-I. Considering that the patient had not had a previous blood transfusion, the most common route of HTLV-I, it is likely that the patient was infected by his wife through sexual intercourse. Although previous reports suggest that the transmission of HTLV-I is essentially from man to man or man to woman, our case suggests that woman to man transmission also occurs.

Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) evaluation is the single most important step and widely used technique for the differential diagnosis between psychogenic and organic impotence. It is based on findings that male subjects have erection in association with rapid eye movement sleep. A normal pattern of NPT indicates that neural supply, vascular supply and penile structures are intact. Nocturnal penile tumescence minitoring (NPTM) in the abscence of rigidity evaluation in the assessment of the impotent male is of questionable value, but we conducted a study of NPT in 41 healthy male subjects aged 20 to 69 by means of portable tumistore NPT monitor to provide normative data for clinical utility in diagnosis and prognosis of impotence. The results indicate that NPT occurs consistently in a healthy male population and its expression is significantly affected by age.

Renal hypertension is found to be the cause in 5-15ft of patients with hypertension, and may be vascular or parenchymal in nature. Renal studies in diagnostic technique and vascular reconstructive techniques now enable successful management in many patients with renal hypertension. We experienced one case of renovascular hypertension due to renal vein hypoplasia. This rare renal venous hypertension has been diagnosed preoperatively and can be cured by nephrectomy, so we reported this case with brief review of the literature.
