Angiography has been playing important roles in diagnosis and treatment in the field of orthopaedic surgery. Conventional angiography is the most reliable and widely used method in diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease. But the clinical use of the conventional angiography has been limited by the risk of possible complications and time-consuming procedures. Radionuclide sngiography is rapidly performed, rapidly interpretable and time-saving procedure for the visualization of arterial tree prior to vascular intervention in the critically ill patient. We have analyzed and compared the 22 cases who had taken radionuclide angiography and conventional angiography simultaneously from November, 1986 to August, 1987 in Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hanysng University Hospital. The results were as follow 1. Radionuclide angiography is simple, non-invasive, accurste, reproducible method. It eliminstes the discomfort and morbidity of conventional angiography and can be done on an outpatient basis at a much lower cost. It is useful in the patients who may be allergic to the contrast medium. 2. In cases of arterial occlusion, radionuclide angiogrpahy is also useful in the evsluation of obstruction of major artery and can be substituted for conventionsl angiography. 3. For the purpose of evaluation of success in the cases of vascular reconstruction, radionuclide angiogrphy also demonstrate the vasculsr blood flow without any risk. 4. Although rsdionuclide angiography has limitstion in snatomic detsil, it could be psrtially substituted for conventionsl angiography in the diagnosis of vascular anomalies or tumors.

We report a case of 64-year-old female patient who has had factitious skin lesions for 20 years. She complained formification sense and severe itching on her face. These symptoms were improved with squeezing and bleeding. There were scuare shaped ulcerated nodule on the right cheek and white depressed scar on the left cheek. She was treated with wet dressing and occlussive dressing, and skin lesions were nearly cleared within 3 weeks, but new lesion appeared. Pimozide 2mg #1 p.o were given under the diagnosis of delusion of parasitosis from June, 1984. Her symptoms were improved without recurrence till now. Treatment with pimozide in monosymptomatic hypochondriacal syndrome is discussed.
