PURPOSE: To evaluate the surface anatomy of the central sulcus(CS), precentral gyrus(PrCG) and postcentral gyrus(PoCG) on the basis of sulci pattern on MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The MR images were obtained in the plane 10 degree angled to the orbitomeatal line. The MR images of 120 subjects(6 months to 79 years) with normal anatomy were analyzed and another four subjects with known space occupying lesions were also reviewed. RESULTS: The identification of gyri was feasible on the axial T1WI from anterior to posterior and from upper to lower images. The STS demonstrated symmetric pattern on both sides in 84 of 120 cases (70%), including two cases of prominent STS pattern. The asymmetric pattern was seen in 36 of 120 cases (30%):14 of 120 cases (12%) on the right and 22 of 120 cases (18%) on the left at 4.5 cm above the level of the splenium of corpus callosum. The PrCG and PoCG and CS were identified well in all cases with the use 'of the sulci pattern. CONCLUSION: The identification of the gyri on the basis of the cerebral sulci pattern on MR images is useful and important when locating the space occupying lesion of the brain.

Wernickes encephalopathy is an illness characterized by mental disturbance, paralysis of eye movements and ataxia of gait. The specific factor for most, if not all, of these symptoms is a deficiency of thiamine. Wemicke's encephalopathy mostly occurs in developing countries when the patient is in a state such as nutritionally deprived state, anorexia nervosa, stomach cancer, long duration of parenteral nutrition. Wernickes encephalopathy was recognized as a complication of hyperemesis of pregnancy in 1914. Unfortunately, cases continue to occur. We present here a case of Wernickes encephalopathy in a 36-year-old pregnant woman. We discuss the clinical picture, histopathology, radiology, therapeutic management and prognosis with review of the literature.

A retrospective review of 102 patients with metastatic bone tumor seen at Hanyang University Hospital from 1986 to 1990 was performed. We analyzed the cases in the aspects of primary lesions, age and sex distributions, locations and number of metastatic foci, compared with those in the previous reports in Korea. l. 54.9% of the patients were male and 45.1% were female. The incidence of the metastatic bone tumors in female compared with the previous incidence before 1980's years was relatively increased. The peak age was in the 6th decade. The incidence younger than 50 years was decreased, and the incidence older than the 7th decade was relatively increased. 2. The main primary cancers were lung(40.2%), liver(11.8%), breast(10.8%), unknown(8.8%), and uterine cervix(6.9%) etc. In cases of lung cancer, the frequent histologic types were adenocarci noma, squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. 3. The vertebrae(56.9%), ribs(40.2%), femur(17.6%), pelvis(15.7%) were relatively frequent sites of metastasis which involved multiple metastasis. 4. Single metastasis(62.4%) was more frequent than multiple metastasis(37.6%). 5. In the primary cancers, the incidence in hepatoma of male was increasing, the incidence in lung cancer of female was relatively increasing, but the incidence in stomach cancer was decreasing.

A case of fibrocalcifying pseudotumor occuring at a very unusual site, the intraosseous region of axis, is presented. Previous reports of similar lesions in skull base, intracranial parenchyme, soft tissue around spine, mediastinum, and pleura have been described under the designation 'fibro-osseouslesions' and 'calcifying pseudoneoplasm' The etiology, pathogenesis and natural course of the lesion are still unknown. Bvt the lesion is probably benign nature and reactive lesion rather than neo-plastic. Authors performed resection of lamina, spinous process, and a portion of pedicles and occipitocervical fusion to prevent spinal cord compression due to cortical expansion or fracture. Microscopically, amorphous, basophilic, hyaline, and chondroid calcifying masses were rimmed by palisading histiocytes and foreign body-type giant cells. No evidence of malignancy was found.
