With 2mm-thick CT scanning during the rapid infusion of contrast material(TICT), cerebral aneurysms arising from the circle of Willis and adjacent vessels can be directly visualized. Twenty-five patients who had cerebral aneurysm confirmed by surgery were examined with TIGT and digital subtraction angiography. The authors examined TIGT prospectively to assess the detection rate of the cerebal aneurysms and to evaluate the clinical usefulness of TIGT. The detection rates of aneurysms by TIGT and digital subtraction angiography were 68% and 84%, respectively. TIGT is a rapid, safe and reliable method in the evaluation of patients with suspected cerebral aneurysm, permitting direct visualization of the aneurysm.

We report a case of a 41-year-old female patient who suffered from the acute abdominal pain for several hours after eating raw sea-fishes. After the fibergastroscopy and the abdominal C-T scan, the clinicians found a gastric submucosal mass and performed the explolaparotomy to get an wedge of stomach. Sections revealed a larva surrounded by phlegmonous inflammation with intense eosinophilic infiltration in the widened gastic submucosa. The larva presented the characteristics of the Anisakis: two lateral chords with renette cell, thich smooth cuticle and well developed musculature.

To evaluate the appearance rate of typhoid granuloma, a clinical and histological study was made on bone marrow smears or biopsies of 60 patients with proven typhoid fever. The results were as follws: 1) Sixty cases consisted of 34 cases of bacteriologically proved group, 10 cases of serologically proved group, and 16 cases of clinically suspected group. The positive culture rate from bone marrow fluid was the highest (70.6%) among specimens although it was obtained 1.6 days in average after the administration of antibiotics. 2) Fourth-eight cases by bone marrow smear revealed the M:E ratio of 3.93:1 in average, mild myeloid hyperplasia and 50.5% of appearance rate of typhoid cells. 3) Fourth-nine cases of bone marrow biopsy revealed 8 cases of typhoid granuloma, all of which belonged to the bacteriologically proved group. All these have no pathognomonic morphologic features. 4) Fourty cases of bone marrow examination of patients with FUO except typhoid fever revealed no typhoid cells in smear and 3 cases of granulomatous lesion from two patients with miliary tuberculosis and one patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The spotted grouped pigmented nevi is one of special forms of non-giant congenital melanocytic nevi. Histologically the nevus cells tend to proliferate around the skin appendages. We have experienced a case of spotted ground pigmented nevi in a 11 year old girl who had a pigmented plaque consisting of grouped brown black regularly distributed papules on the left inguinal region since birth. Histology revealed intradermal nevus. The skin appendages, especially the hair follicles and eccrine sweet ducts were enveloped by the neuvs cells. Electron microscopic study revealed that this nevus cells were mostly of type B cells. We would like to consider that the spotted grouped nevi are closely related pathogenically with the skin appendages.
