Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, but potentially life-threatening adverse event associated with the use of neuroleptic agents. We describe the case of a 47-year-old schizophrenic woman who was treated with clozapine for years. The patient developed acute renal failure with pulmonary edema, and underwent mechanical ventilation and hemodialysis.

We report a case of congenital giant pigmented nevus with malignant melanoma of brain in a 14-year-old male patient. He had giant pigmented nevus on the back and neck, and multiple satellite lesions over the whole body since birth. One year prior to visit to our hospital, the patient suffered from various neurologie symptoms including headache, nausea, vomiting, seizure and right side motor weakness. Flistologic findings of skin lesions were benign nevocytic nevi. Computed tomogram of brain demonstrated increased densities in the both fronto-parietal leptameninges and brain parenchyme. Histologic findings of brain parenchyme by stereotaxic long needle biopsy showed the infiltration of melanin containing atypical melanocytes. There was no evidence of malignant melanoma at other organs. All of these findings suggested that origin of malignant melanoma of brain parenchyme was leptomeninges rather than skin.

The paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis is characterized by choreathetoic, dystonic and/or tonic movements induced by sudden voluntary movements, without loss of consciousness, urinary incontinence and clonic movement. These attacks begin in childhood, and are occasionally familial. The response to anticonvulsants is usually excellent. We present 4 cases of paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis with a brief review of literature, which is believed to be the first report in Korea.

A case of the brain death confirmed by isotope angiogrphy is described. Isotope angiography is a simple and noninvasive technic compared to carotid angiography, and is recommended as a reliable test for the diagnosis of brain death.

Acute pancreatitis is an uncommon complication of CAPD. The clinical diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is difficult, since the presenting features are similar to those of dialysis associated peritonitis, and a high index of suspicion is necessary. Serum amylase values three times greater than the upper limit of normal and effluent amylase greater than 100U/L are helpful in diagnosing acute pancreatitis in CAPD patients. We report a case of pancreatitis in a patient on CAPD in whom diagnosis was made by serum amylase, effluent amylase, abdominal sonogram.

OBJECTIVE: Ectopic pregnancy can still cause maternal death, though we have undergone it frequently. So, we survey 80 cases ectopic pregnancies treated our hospital for early detection and proper management. METHODS: In this study, the authors studied retrospectively 80 cases which had been admitted and treated at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, National Police Hospital from Jan. 1, 1991 to Dec. 31, 2000. RESULTS: Incidence of ectopic pregnancy was one in 68 normal deliveries for 10 years, 63.7% of cases occurred in 25~34 years-old age group, and 52.6% of patients had previous abdominal surgery including cesarean section. Average interval of tubal ligation was 6.5 years between the onset of ectopic pregnancy and tubal ligation. Lower abdominal pain was the most common clinical symptom developed in 91.3% of the patients. Average interval between the onset of symptom and LMP was 7.6 weeks. Most ectopic pregnancies were tubal pregnancies and salpingectomy was done in 56.3% of the patients. CONCLUSION: According to our study, ectopic pregnancy occurred most frequently in women in their reproductive age and one of most important prognostic factors is time between onset of symptom and arrival of patient at hospital. We must make our efforts to preserve utero-ovarian function in treatment of patients with ectopic pregnancy.
