The MR images of 13 patients with brain abscesses were retrospectively reviewed. The abscesses were solitary in 11 patients and multiple in 2 patients. They were located in the corticomedullary junction of the cerebral hemispheres(11) and cerebellum (2).: The sizes of the abscesses were variable, ranging from 1 cm to 5 cm in diameter. They were round (5), oblong (4) or multilobulated (4) in shape. Massive surrounding edema was found in 12 patients. The signal intensity of the abscess contents was hypointense to gray matter and hyperintense to CSF on T1-weighted images, and hyperintense to gray matter on both proton-density-and T2-weighted images. In 5 patients the abscess contents were heterogeneous on both T1-and T2-weighted images. The signal intensity of the abscess walls was isointense(11), slightly hyperintense (1) or hypointense (1) relative to gray matter on T1-weighted images, whereas they were isointense (4) or hypointense (9) on T2-weighted images. Of 10 patients with Gd-enhanced-T1-weighted images, 5 patients(50%) showed thin, smooth, rim enhancement, while the other 5 patients revealed somewhat irregular thick wall enhancement Satellite or daughter abscesses were found in 6 patients. Meningeal or ventricular wall enhancement suggesting meningitis or ventriculitis was associated in 3 and 1 patient, respectively. In conclusion, the characteristic morphology and intensity of the abscess capsule, massive surrounding edema, satellite abscess and associated meningitis or ventriculitis are characteristics of the brain abscess, even though they are not entirely specific to allow for accurate diagnosis in all patients.

BACKGROUND: Although palmoplantar epidermal cysts have long been associated with develop ment following implantation of an epidermal fragment as a result of a penetrating or blunt injury, the pathogenic mechanism is still not fully understood. Since 1987, many cases have been reported in which human papillomavirus(HPV) could be associated with palmoplantar epidermal cysts. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we evaluated the clinicopathological findings of palmoplantar epidermal cysts and investigated them for the presence of HPV in order to examine the role of HPV in the pathogenesis of this disorder in Korea. METHODS: The clinical, histological, immunohistochemical studies were performed on seven cases of plantar cysts, and two cases of palmar cysts. RESULTS: No previous trauma history was seen. Histopathologically, parakeratotic nuclei, or vacuolar strutures within the keratinous mass in the cyst cavity were found. However, we could not find intracytoplasirnic eosinophilic bodies in the wall, the cyst content, or the overlying epidermis. The dyskeratotic keratinocytes were observed in 3 cases. Papillomavirus common antigens were not detected by immunohissochemical staining. CONCLUSIONS: Palmoplantar epidermal cysts in Korea have some different histological features compared to those of HPV 60-associated cases in Japan and we could not detect the immunohistochemical evidence of HPV infection in our cases.

We report a case of anosacral cutaneous amyloidosis in a 74 year-old-man. The skin finding is a patch of the size of a childs palm on the sacral area, consisting of brownish macular lines that radiate frorn the anus. Histopathology revealed defiosits of homogenous eosinophilic mateial s in the papillary dermis. Congo red staining and dylon staining was positive. Immuohistochemical staining using anti SAP antibodies and anti-keratin antibodies showed positive reactions.

8.The clinical significances of Intra-Osseous Venography in the Hip injuries: A preliminary report

We have many unsolved problems about the femoral neck fracture, especially non-union of the fracture and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. It seems clear that underlying these are two basic problems; first, the mechanical difficulties in maintaining secure fixation; and second, biological factors interfering with union, paramount of which is damage to the blood supply of the femoral head. Intra-capsular fracture of the femoral neck heals in the same way as other intra-articular fractures-only by endosteal and not by periosteal repair. If the femoral head has an intact blood supply, repair appears early on both sides of the fracture. But if the femoral head is not viable, this repair appears only on the neck side of the fracture. It can migrate into the head and heal the fracture only if there is close apposition and rigid fixation of well reduced fracture fragments. Clearly the femoral neck fracture heals not by periosteal callus but by callus arising from the marrow supporting structure. Yet there is still no reliable clinical method of determining early the union of the femoral neck fracture and the viability of the femoral head. The femoral head intra-osseous venography, first described by Hulth (1953), to predict viability of the femoral head after fracture of the femoral neck has been carried by various previous authors (Hulth1953 1956 1958, Dahlgren 1959, Harrison 1962, Hulth and Johansson 1962, Nagai 1962). However, they did not mention healing process of fractures of the femoral neck in these studies. To observe the fracture healing and to predict the viability of the femoral head, authors adopted a femoral trochanteric intra-osseous venographic technique. The precedure was carried out under the control of a T-V image intensifier. Venous drainage of the femoral head parallels the arterial supply. There are several venous drainage routes in the hip region; the medial and lateral circumflex vein, gluteal vein, nutrient vein, femoral vein, vein of the ligamentum teres and obturator vein. With the aid of a T-V image intensifier, a bone marrow needle is driven 1 inch below the femoral greater trochanter. When the tip of the needle is in the marrow cavity, about 30cc, of 75% Urograffin is injected. Next X-rays are taken at intervals of 2 seconds, the last film at 5 minutes. A positive venography is one in which venous drainage is seen, and opaque fluid is seen in mottled distribution throughout neck region and part of the head. A negative venography is one in which no venous drainage is seen, on the contrary, opaque fluid pools within the trochanteric region are evident and remain for at least 5 minutes. A positive venography indicates that the head has an intact circulation, thus it may be predicted that the fracture can unite and the head is alive. Negative venography suggests that fracture union is not and will not take place and that the head may be dead. This study provided information about fracture heaIing processes and vascularities of the femoral head and its surrounding tissues during and after fractures healing. We have found that trochanteric intra-osseous venography is a useful diagnostic tool in hip injuries.
