Multiple involvement of arterial fibromuscular dysplasia is unusal and such a case is quite limited in the literature. We present a case of multiple arterial fibromuscular dysplasia with aneurysm formation in a 38-year-old non-hypertensive man. Angiographic study showed multiple aneurysmal dilatations of the right renal, superior mesenteric, celiac axis, and left colic arteries. The resected right kidney demonstrated an aneurysm of the main renal artery and extensive infarction in the midportion of the renal parenchyma. The segmentally resected superior mesenteric artery disclosed a similar nature of aneurysm occluded by recent thrombi. Microscopically, all the resected arterial walls showed both intimal and medial fibroplasia together with periadventitial fibrosis resulting in marked narrowing of the lumen and subsequent thrombus formation.

The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a familial disesse charaeterized by mucocutaneaus pigmentation, gastrointestinal polyposis, and transmission of autosomal dominant trait. This syndrome is clinically important becuase of the coreplieation caused by the polyp, leading to abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intussusception. Authors experienced a case of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome admitted to Walace Memorial Baptist Hospital who was complained of recurrent abdominal pain, melanin pigmentation of lips, oral mucosa, and digits. UGI series, small bowel series, colon cnema, gastrofiberscopy, and colonoseopy revealed multiyle intestinal polyps. Pathologic findings on endoseopic polypectomy showed hamartomatous polyp.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Proper proximal contact is important for maintaining and stabilizing the dental arch. However, the proximal contact strength (PCS) is not a constant value and can be affected by a variety of factors. PURPOSE: This study examined the influences of postural changes on the posterior PCS. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve adults with a normal occlusion and had not undergone prosthetic treatment or proximal restoration were participated in this study. A metal strip was inserted into the proximal surface and removed at a constant velocity. The contact strength was measured in every contact point between canine to second molar in both arches. The PCSs were obtained initially in the upright position, secondly in the supine position and finally in the upright position again. All measurements were repeated after a 2 hour period. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Friedman test (P < .05). RESULTS: Generally, a decrease in PCS occurred when the posture was changed from the initial upright to supine position, while it increased when the posture was changed from the supine to upright position. A significant change was observed in all areas except for between the canine-first premolar in the maxilla and between the first molarsecond molar in the mandible areas. CONCLUSION: The posterior PCS, which dentists generally believe to be a static feature of occlusion, is affected significantly by posture.

Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor showing smooth muscle differentiation, and it accounts for 2% to 8% of soft tissue sarcoma. Clinically, substantial mortality and morbidity are related to the propensity for distant metastasis and local recurrence, respectively. Microscopic findings characteristically reveal intersecting bundles of spindle-shaped cells having fibrillar cytoplasm and blunt-ended nuclei. Immunohistochemistry for intermediate filaments is helpful in establishing a definitive diagnosis. We experienced a case of large protruding leiomyosarcoma that developed on an old burn scar of the medial calf of a 45-year-old man. On preoperative evaluation, we recommended amputation due to a distant metastasis to the lung(stage IV). As the patient refused amputation of his lower leg, the tumor was radically excised and immediate reconstruction was done using free latissimus dorsi muscle flap and skin graft. Four months after excision despite adjuvant chemotherapy, amputation was performed due to local recurrence.

A child born with spinal dysraphism and encephalocele faces the multiple and serious hazards of meningitis, hydrocephalus, paralysis and deformity of the lower limbs, and urinary bladder paralysis. The improvement in surgical management, and the advent of the shunt device for the control of hydrocephalus have so greatly altered the immediate prognosis that even a child with an extensive myelomeningocele must be considered to have a good chance of survival. We have presented a case of myelomeningocle, and two cases of meningoencephalocele and immediate repair techniques, and prognosis. 1) Surgical repair should be undertaken urgently, if possible within the first 48 hours of life and its role was the preservation of motor, sensory and intellectual function. 2) Carefully dissected the nerve filaments from the sac and replaced them into the dural canal and excised the functionless filament for prevention of spine deformity. 3) Shunt surgery should be considered before operation or immediate postoperation, in situation of huge meningoencephalocele.

Schilder’s disease is a rare sporadic demyelinating disease of the brain. We report a girl with Schilder’s
disease who had undergone Kasai operation for biliary atresia. The patient presented with acute right
hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a single large tumefactive white
matter lesion. A diagnosis of Schilder’s disease was based on clinical features and MRI findings. The
patient showed dramatic clinical improvement and significant regression of the lesion in response to
high-dose intravenous methyl prednisone, and remained free of relapse of other neurologic problems
during the 3-year follow-up.
