Among the many causes producing lower back pain herniated nucleus pulposus and bulging disk have occupiedlarge percentaages and uniformly showed defect on lateral aspect of contrast filled thecal sac. But it isessential to differentiate each conditions from the other because of their different treatment methods.differentiation at metrizamide myelography between a diffusely bullging disk(unlikely to cause nerve rootcompression) and a herniated disk is based on the curature, extent, and multipllicity of the extradural deformityof the anterolateral margin of the contrast filled sac and o hte presence of fusiform widening of the most distalpart of the affected nerve root. The deformities caused by a bullging disk are round, usually symmetrical(aothoughoccasionally more prominent on one side), do not extend above or below the disk space, and can show multiple levelinvolvement; the nerve root is uniform in caliber and normal in size(although some of severe bulging show fusiformwidening of the most distal part of the affected nerve root). The deformities caused by a herniated disk isangular and extends cephalad and/or caudal to the level of the disk space; the affected nerve root is usuallywidened in its most distal visible part. A consecutive series of 50 patients with low back pain and no pasthistory of back surgery who did metrizamide myelography underwent spine CT and /or laminectomy. Using the criterialisted above for differentiation of bulging from herniated disk on metrizamide myelography, the myelographicdiagnosis was correct in 32(22 patients) of 34(24 patients) (95%) surgically and/or computed tomographicallyconfirmed bulging disks and in all 26 (100%) surgically and/or computed tomographically confirmed herniated disks.

Herein, polyorchidism possessing of more than the usual number of testicles, which was found in two patients, is reported. Both patients had three testes, and one presented with painful swelling of the right scrotum caused by torsion of the testis and the other revealed a non-palpable testis in the right hemiscrotum. Both patients were managed surgically with orchiopexy and an orchiectomy, respectively, followed by the insertion of an artificial testis.

5.The accuracy of sonographic measurement

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1986;22(5):912-917
Sonographic measurements often give considerable diagnostic significance. However, large discrepancy betweenthe real anatomic sizes and sonographic measurements could cause an incorrect diagnosis. Authors carried out aseries of experiment using a phantom and two scanners and the results are as follows: 1. There is a littledifference in errors between two scanners, and the mesurement does not almost always correspond to the realdistance. 2. The rates of errors of the measurements are almost fixed regardless of the positions of thereflcetors. 3. There is no relationship between the transducer MHZ and error rate. 4. As the error is derived from the scanner electronics it is necessary to calibrate the scanner periodically, and if not calibrated one shouldconsider the error rate of the scanner in the anatomical measurement.

Biopsy has proved to be of value in the diagnosis of many inflammatory and malignant diseases, and needle biopsy of the synovial membrane in arthritis is well established and often employed as the final diagnostic aid in patient with joint disease. Authors have carried out synovial needle biopsy in 76 joints with Franklin-Silverman needle used commonly in liver biopsy. The results obtained were as followa; 1) Of seventy five biopsies attempted, adequate amount of tiasue was obtained in 51 of 53 knee cases (96.2%), 11 of 14 wrists (78.6%). 3 of 5 elbows (60%), 1 of 3 ankles (33.3%). Adequate amount of tissue was obtained in 66 cases and the overall succese rate was 88%. 2) Histopathological diagnosis was made in 53 of 75 cases (70.7%). In 12 cases, correct specimens were obtained but proved to be incompatible with the diagnosis done by either clinical data or open biopsy. 3) Histopathological diagnoses were made in 25 of 35 cases of rheumatoid arthritis (71.4%) 14 of 18 cases of tuberculous arthritis (77.8%), 7 of 13 cases of degenerative arthritis (53,8%), 4 of 6 cases of suppurative arthritis (66.7%), 2 cases of traumatic arthritis (100%), and one case of villonodular synovitis (100%). 4) The complications resulting from this proedure were pare; mild transient hemarthrosis was found in only 5 cases We also discovered that for an accurate diagnosis multiple specimens should be obtained because otherwise the specimens were too small to interprete histopathologically. In addition we concluded that the success rate depended not upon the sorts of needle used but rather more upon the biopsy technique. Franklin-Silverman needle biopsy proved to be a simple, safe and reliable procedure for diagnosis of the synovial diseases in which conventional arthrotomy is inadvisable and other diagnostic procedures are inadequate.
