Since its initial description in 1930, the preexcitation or Wolff-Parkinson-White(W-P-W) syndrome is characterized by a special electrocardiographic pattern and various paroxysmal tachyarrhythmia, which was found to have reciprocating tachycardia frequently. The W-P-W syndrome develops when some part of a ventricle is activated earlier than normal conduction pathway, and described as one type of ventricular preexcitation syndromes by Durrer (1974). The diagnostic criteria of the W-P-W syndrome are 1) initial slurring (delta wave) of the QRS complex, 2) short P-R interval, 3) widened QRS complex and 4) secondary T wave change. The initial slurring of the QRS complex (delta wave) which is the most important finding of preexcitation syndrome results from a premature activation of a portion of the ventricle through an accessary pathway which bypasses the A-V node and bundle. These accessary conduction fiber includes Kent's bundle, Jame's fibers, Mahaim's fibers and its combination. Recent developments in the field of electrophysiology and surgical therapy became to support the concept of anomalous pathways and the possible determination of the re-entry circuit of paroxysmal tachycardia. Total 12 cases including 9 cases of classical W-P-W syndromes and 3 cases of L-G-L syndromes were followed with special interest of pre-excitation phenomenon and paroxysmal tachyarrhythmia at the National medical Center during the period of Jan. 1975 to Feb. 1979 and found to have paroxysmal tachyarrhythmia in 8 cases out of 12 cases. His bundle electrogram (HBE) and right atrial pacing were recoded in 2 cases of W-P-W type B to support the existance of an anomalous pathway. Treatment was instituted in accordance with recent advanced knowledge for the paroxysmal tachyarrhymia and pre-excitation and references were reviewed.

This report deals with a 49-year-old male farmer who had a pathological fraeture. of the right femoral shaft due to metastatic carcinoma from the middle lobe of the right lung. The lesion of the femur was resected en-bloc and bone stabilization of the fractured bone was obtained by an intramedullary Kiintscher nail plus cement fixation. Two weeks later, a right middle and lower lobectomy was done. Microscopic examination of both specimens from right femur and lung revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The postoperative course was satisfactory with no recurrence for period of 26 months.

The authors performed microsurgical reconstruction by free cutaneous or myocutaneous flaps transfer in 104 cases, who were sustained of extensive soft tissue injuries on their extremities by accident. These 104 cases were operated in 6 years from 1980 to 1986 and were consisted of 47 cases of latissimus dorsimyocutaneous free flaps, 36 cases of scapular free flaps, 18 cases of dorsalis pedis sensible free flaps, and 3 cases of groin flaps. Most of them were males(80 cases) and were in third decade(28 cases). The youngest case was 2-year-old baby and the oldest one was 76-year-old woman. The traffic accident was the most frequent cause of injuries(55 cases), and the others were burn, industrial injuries, and cultivator accidents. Most of the microsurgical reconstruction were performed in lower extremity injuries(81 cases), especially below the ankle joints(65 cases). The average dimension(width and length) of free flaps were 7.3×14.3cm in latissimus dorsi free flaps, 5.6×8.2cm in scapular free flaps, and 4.5×5.9cm in dorsalis pedis free flaps. The dorsalis pedis free flaps were successful in 100%, the scapular free flaps were in 83.3%, the latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flaps were in 89.4%, and the groin free flaps were in 33.3%, And the overall viability of 104 free flaps was 87.5%.

Although cerebrospinal fluid leakage is suggested as one of the causes of spontaneous intracranial hypotension, on]y a few cases with direct evidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage on radionuclide cisternography have been reported in the literature Indirect evidences of cerebrospinal fluid leakage such as early visualization of the soft tissue and bladder or delayed migration of radiotracer have been observed in most patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. We report a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension in which cerebrospinal fluid leakage was directly demonstrated by early dynamic imaging of spine on radionuclide cisternography. We suggest that early dynamic imaging of spine is an important adjunctive procedure in detecting cerebrospinal fluid leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
