Sixty-six cases of erythena nodosum(EN) and erythema induraturn(EI) were examined pathologically and clinically. Pathologically 23 cases were erythema nodosum, 43 cases were erytherna induratum. Pathological diagnosis made without any prior knowledge of the clinical and laboratory data. Clinical manifestations were reviewed on basis of pathological diagnosis. The results are as follows; l. EN and EI mainly occurred in female, age of twenties and during spring season. There was no difference in sex, age and seasonal incidence between EN and EI. 2. Both EN and EI affected chiefly the shins. EI was more common than EN in cases of calf involvement. 3. Tenderness and systemic symptoms developed more often in EN, while ulcers occurred only in EI. 4 EI had relatively long duration. There was no difference in the recurrence rate between EN and EI. 5. Pulmonary tuberculosis was found only in El on chest X-rays. 6. Clinical and pathological diagnosis was identical in almost cases of EN but those were variable in case of EI.

Slipped femoral capital epiphysis is the condition in which the femoral head begins to slip gradually off the femoral neck. After first discription of Ambrose Pare(1572), the world literature has presented many cases, usually more than one hundred in each clinic. Its incidence in Korea, however, is extremely rare and particularly it is difficult to find out the report of typical case. The author reports here a typical case of billateral slipped femoral capital epiphysis in a 17 year old boy with symptom duration of 2 years on right side and 6 months on left side. Physical examination showed his body stature to be normal and his genital organs to have no abnormalities. However, both hips revealed severe pain and limited range of motion, especially in internal rotation and abduction, which restricted his normal gait. Operative reduction of epiphysio-cervical distorsion was successful in the left hip. After skeletal traction of the left hip, an anatomical repositioning by intraarticular wedge rection osteotomy was maintained by 3 Knowles pins. 3 months postoperatively he resumed partial weight bearing on his left hip with little pain and improved range of motion. Further restoration of function can reasonably be expected.

Although recently, there have been introduced many new diagnostic tools such as renal scanning and renogram, intravenous urogram remains to be one of the most useful method of urological diagnosis. Therefore it seems warranted to review 363 cases of intravenous urograms performed in the department of urology, St. Mary's hospital, Catholic Medical College during the period of January, 1962 to June, 1964. Among others, especial attention was paid to 60 cases of nonvisualizing kidneys. Of 60 nonvisualizing kidneys, renal tuberculosis occupied 27 cases(45%); ureteral and renal stones 13(21.6%); hydronephrosis 9(15%) (metastatic carcinoma 6(10%)and surgical manipulation 3(5%); Wilms' tumor 5 (8.3%) chronic atrophic pyelonephritis 3(5%) ; One case each of renal cell carcinoma, cystic kidney and thrombosis of the renal artery. Inasmuch as the present study revealed renal tuberculosis to be the most common cause of nonvisualizing kidneys, it is felt that one should always consider the possibility of tuberculosis in the diagnosis of nonvisualizing kidneys in Korea. This fact should be stressed because nontuberculous pathology such as chronic pyelonephritis has been implicated to be the most frequent cause of nonvisualizing kidneys by American authors.

The simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax is very dangerous, so the chest drain insertion should be done urgency. Contrary to the unilteral pneumothorax, the patient with simultaneous bilateral pneumothorax complains a severe respiratory distress, cyanosis and chest pain without the tension pneumothorax. Now, we present two cases of the simultaneous bilateral pneumothorax. The prompt insertion of chest drains relieved symptoms. One case is resolved by the bilateral thoracotomy, the other by the insertion of chest drains only.

Six cases with Straight back syndrome were reported and studied by physiological, radiological electrocardiographic, phonocardiographic and echocardiographic evidences. They were classified according to A-P diameter and arch distance as Type I, II, III. by Kim's Consideration. 1. It was noticed that "pancake" configuration of heart with or without LVH in chest PA view with subsequent compression of the heart against the sternum and straight thoracic vertebra in lateral view was revealed. 2. Anterior-posterior diameter, and A-P/T ratio of six patients were below the average value. 3. Grade 2-3/6 ejection type systolic murmurs on pulmonary artery area and lateral sternal border or apex were auscultated, but systolic murmur on apex was considered to be insignificant due to normal mitral valve motion by Echocardiogram. 4. On ECG, there was observed one case with atrial fibrillation and the other with sinus bradycardia who had prominant straight thoracic vertebra. 5. There was observed normal mitrla valve motion on Echocardiogram in all six cases.
