Lymphangioma is composed of lymphatic tissue and filled with clear or chylous fluid that develops most often in the skin and subcutaneous tissue of neck but relatively rare in extremities. It is perhaps a congnital malformation rather than a true neoplasm, and so most of these lesions are usually present at birth and have a tendency to grow very slowly. If it is developed with a cavernous type of lymphangioma, it will have more aggressive and infiltrative tendency because their margin is usually adhesive with adjacent normal tissue. A case of cavernous lymphangioma on the right wrist of an eight month old female infant, treated by surgical excision is followed up over one year and presented here with a review of the literature.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of [18F]FDG PET in the diagnosis of recurrent head and neck cancer after the completion of surgery and radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In fifty-nine patients with head and neck cancers, whole body [18F]FDG PET studies were performed. According to the different therapeutic modalities, patients were divided into four groups (Group I; pre-treatment, Group II; surgery, Group III; radiotherapy, Group IV; both surgery and radiotherapy). [18F]FDG PET images were compared with clinical, CT and histopathologic findings. RESULTS: For detection of metastatic lymph nodes in 14 patients of pre-treatment group (group I), the sensitivity and specificity of PET were 100% (10/10) and 75% (3/4), and those of CT were 80% (8/10) and 100% (4/4). For detection of recurrence in 45 patients of post-treatment group, overall sensitivity and specificity of PET were 96.2% (25/26) and 78.9% (15/19) [(100% and 75% in group II, 80% and 50% in group III, and 100% and 100% in group IV)] without significant difference from pre-treatment group (p>0.1). In detecting recurrence, the sensitivity and specificity of [18F]FDG PET were 90.9% (10/11) and 20% (1/5) in 16 patients who underwent [18F]FDG PET within 2 months after the completion of treatment. The specificity of these patients was significantly lower than that of 29 patients (100% of sensitivity and specificity) who underwent [18F]FDG PET 2 months after treatment (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: [18F]FDG PET is an accurate diagnostic modality for the detection of recurrence in head and neck cancer. Post-therapy [18F]FDG PET should be obtained at least 2 months after the completion of surgery or radiotherapy.

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but devasting obstetric emergency. We experienced a case of AFE during dilatation and curettage (D & C) in a 15 2/7 weeks pregnant woman, age 30, who was diagnosed as having a missed abortion. Sudden rapid hypoxemia, low SpO2, hypotension, low PETCO2, high CVP, and tachycardia, right axis deviation and right bundle branch block in 12 leads ECG were developed during D &C under general anesthesia, and signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) followed after the operation, which are consistent with the findings of AFE. Even though there was no definite pathologic and radiologic confirmation of AFE, laboratory findings showed 100 times higher level of alpha-fetoprotein in her central venous blood than same weeks of missed abortion woman's blood. Though it is rare, the anesthesiologist should always suspect the possibility of AFE, when the patient shows an unexplained collapse, cyanosis, low PETCO2, high CVP, low SpO2, ECG change and DIC during any kind of obstetric procedure.

The recovery process of brain damage caused by an acute severe cerebral hypoxia has been reported in various literatures. And the possibility of complete recovery of such case was said to be good in younger age group than in adult's group. We experienced a case of cardiac arrest of a 12 year old girl during halothane anesthesia induction and the cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation was succeeded promptly. But the hypotensive period persted for few minutes before the diagnosis was made. The condition of the patient after the resuscitation was good except that her unconsciousness state persisted unusually. The proposed appendectomy performed uneventfully and the anesthesia recovery of the patient was carefully observed in our I.C.U. The uncoscious state lasted for 2 days with agitated movements of legs, EEG showed abnormal, irregular patterns but showed no signs of damage of gobus pallidum and putamen. During the first month, the order of recovery of cerebral function was comatous state, swallowing, eating, and urination. The cerebellar dysunction was prominent. Then recovery of amnesia and defection followed. Speech and gate started to regain in the 26 and 36 post-operative day respectively. Writing function started recover quickly with the recovery of speech function, which occurred in 4 to 6 post-operative months. Recovery of intelligence was slowest and gradually reached to the intelligent level of 11 year old child in one year. It was found the primitive function recovered first and the highly cultivated function recovered last.

9.Membranes for the Guided Bone Regeneration.
Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2014;36(6):239-246
Many kinds of membrane have been used for the guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique. However, most membranes do not fulfill all requirements for the ideal membrane for the GBR technique. Among them, collagen membrane has been most widely used. However, its high price and weak tensile strength in wet condition are limitations for wide clinical application. Synthetic polymers have also been used for the GBR technique. Recently, silk based membrane has been considered as a membrane for the GBR technique. Despite many promising preclinical data for use of a silk membrane, clinical data regarding the silk membrane has been limited. However, silk based material has been used clinically as vessel-tie material and an electrospun silk membrane was applied successfully to patients. No adverse effect related to the silk suture has been reported. Considering that silk membrane can be provided to patients at a cheap price, its clinical application should be encouraged.
