The authors treated 12 patients with pseudophakic endophthalmitis over a 5 year period between 1990 and 1994. Common clinical manifestations included anterior chamber inflammation, conjunctival injection, decreased visual acuity, ocular pain and hypopyon. Eight of 12 cases(67%) were culture positive when organisms were grown up from aspirates of the aqueous, the vitreous or both. Three of the culture positive cases were grown up from aspirates of the aqueous, the vitreous or both. Three of the culture positive cases were candida endophthalmitis. Treatment consisted of topical, periocular, systemic and intravitreal injection of antimicrobial agents. In addition, because of poor clinical response of medical conservative therapy, six cases had a vitrectomy. Intraocular lenses were removed in 3 candida endophthalmitis at second operation. Final visual acuity has better in culture negative and low virulent bacterial endophthalimitis than high virulent bacterial and candida endophthalmitis. Visual outcome was better in cured patients who received a single intravitreal injection or a single intravitreal injection in combination with virectomy than the patients who did not receive intravitreal injection or received repeated intravitreal injection. Complications were two eviscerations and a retinal detachment.

On histological examination, an epidermolytic hyperkeratosis was observed adjacent to follicular papules on the back of a 53-year-old man. It has been reported that incidental epidermolytic hyperkeratosis occur either within various lesion (epidermal neoplasm, melanocytic neoplasm, scars, and inflammatory conditions) or in the normal skin adjacent to the lesion. This patient participated in the Vietnam War for 2 years, and had had contact with defoliants. He was treated for multiple peripheral neuropathies and cerebral infarcts. In keratinocytes, 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; Agent Orange) contained in defoliating agents is associated with altered patterns of keratinocyte differentiation. So, as a cause of incidental epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, defoliant contact could be suspected.

We performed a clinicopathological study of nineteen patients with chronic inflammatory nodose lesions of the legs which responded to the treatment with isolniazid. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Seven patients had a personal or family history of tuberculcsis and all patients showed a high tuberculin sensitivity. But, no one showed the evidence of active pulmonary tuberculosis. 2. The inflammatory nodules and swelling of the legs were resolved within 12 months in all cases. Resolution of the nodules was more rapid than that of leg swelling. 3. The clinical characteristics of the patients with chronic inflanimatory nodules were the same as those of the cases with erythema nodosum or erytiema induratum reported previously in Korea. The basic histopathologic process of inflarr matory nodules seemed to be vasculitis.

7.Strabismus Surgery in Myasthenia Gravis.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 2009;50(12):1902-1908
PURPOSE: To report the results of strabismus surgery in five patients diagnosed with myasthenia gravis with strabismus. CASE SUMMARY: The authors retrospectively analyzed the effect and timing of surgery for patients who developed strabismus after being diagnosed for myasthenia gravis. Cases 1 and 2 were female myasthenia gravis patients, eight and 45 years of age, who underwent surgery after symptoms developed for correction of exotropia at 33 months and ten years after diagnosis, respectively. Case 3 was a 33-year-old male hyperthyroidism patient who had an exotropia operation six years after his strabismus diagnosis. Cases 4 and 5 were a 22-year-old female and a 50-year-old male patient, who underwent surgery for correction of left hypotropia at 14 months and ten months after diagnosis, respectively. Eventually, a total of three cases of horizontal deviation and two cases of vertical deviation had successful outcomes resulting within ten prism diopters. The patients in cases 4 and 5, both of whom had vertical deviations, experienced a short wait time from the date of symptom presentation until they were able to receive surgery. In particular, case 5 developed left hypertropia two months prior to surgery and the strabismus angle increased until six months prior to surgery. However, the hypertropia stabilized afterwards and the patient finally obtained orthophoria after a left inferior rectus advancement operation. CONCLUSIONS: In patients diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and a large angle strabismus, a longer follow-up period from diagnosis to operation is necessary for a successful postoperative outcome and stable strabismus angle.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is one of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, which is mediated by what has been known as "prion". It is a rare and fatal progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the middle and old aged. There are a number of subtypes of CJD, one of which is the sporadic type characterized by rapidly progressing clinical symptoms, including progressive dementia, myoclonic jerk, and pyramidal or extrapyramidal syndrome. Patients usually end up dying within 1 to 2 years of contacting the disease. We report an autopsy-proven case of sporadic CJD with clinical symptoms that progressed within several days, along with dramatic changes on diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images.

OBJECTIVE: A general orientation along the cervical spine could be estimated by external landmarks, and it was useful, quick and less exposable to radiation, but, sometimes it gave reference confusion of target cervical level. The authors reviewed the corresponding between the neck external landmarks and cervical levels. METHODS: Totally 1,031 cervical lateral radiographs of different patients were reviewed in single university hospital. Its compositions were 534 of males and 497 females; 86 of second decades (10-19 years-old), 169 of third decades, 159 of fourth decades, 209 of fifth decades, 275 of sixth decades, and 133 of more than seventh decades (>60 years-old). Reference external landmarks (mandible, hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, and cricothyroid membrane) with compounding factors were reviewed. RESULTS: The reference levels of cervical landmarks were C2.13 with mandible angle, C3.54 with hyoid bone, C5.12 with thyroid cartilage, and C6.01 with cricothyroid membrane. The reference levels of cervical landmarks were differently observed by sex, age, and somatometric measurement (height) accordingly mandible angle from C1 to C3, hyoid bone from disc level of C2 and C3 to C5, thyroid cartilage from disc level of C3 and C4 to C7, and cricothyroid membrane from C4 to disc level of C7 and T1. CONCLUSION: Surface landmarks only provide general reference points, but not correspond to exact levels of the cervical spine. Intraoperative fluoroscopy ensures a more precise placement to the targeted cervical level.
