Teratoma is one of germ cell tumor, common neoplasm in women of reproductive age, but it can arise at any age. Its malignant transformation is rare, less than 2%, frequently at older age. Nearly all the cases are squamous, sarcomatous and adenomatous transformation. Here we present a case of mixed transformation, adeno-squamous cell carcinoma with brief review of the concerned literature.

PURPOSE: To evaluate long-term change in intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes undergoing laser iridotomy (LI) and early phacoemulsification after LI in patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG). METHODS: The retrospective, comparative chart review included patients with AACG, Group A who underwent only LI and Group B who underwent early phacoemulsification within 1 month after LI. Patients were followed up on day 1; week 1; and months 1, 3, 6, and 12 after LI. IOP changes were studied. RESULTS: This study included a total 99 eyes from 99 patients, 37 in group A and 62 in group B. The mean IOP were not significantly different between the two groups at the initial visit or 1 month later. However, group B showed a consistently lower mean IOP that that of group A at 3, 6, and 12 months (p= 0.003, <0.001, <0.001, respectively). The prevalence of IOP increase to greater than 21 mmHg was 3 (8.11%), 5 (13.51%), and 5 patients (13.51%) in group A and 0, 2 (5.41%), and 1 patients (1.61%) in group B at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Group B showed a significantly lower prevalence of IOP increase (p = 0.050, 0.038, 0.026). CONCLUSIONS: We found that patients treated with early phacoemulsification after LI had better outcomes of well-maintained IOP compared to those undergoing LI alone. For AACG patients with coexisting cataract, early phacoemulsification after LI can be considered as a reasonable treatment to maintain IOP.

The authors experienced a case of retinoblastoma in a two-year-old female who had recurrent hyphema and marked erythematous lid swelling. We treated her for orbital cellulitis and hyphema, but those lesions were not improved. Finally, we performed enucleation for confirming the etiology of a disease which was pathologically proven to be retinoblastoma.

The present study examines the effects of orthodontic treatment of surgically exposed impacted upper canines or ectopically erupted upper canines to periodontal condition and whether various opening procedures have significant difference in postoperative periodontal status. The subjects included 23 orthodontic patients(7 men, 16 women) with unilateral upper canine impaction treated either with closed eruption technique(group I), with apically positioned flap procedure(group II), and those with canines ectopically erupted through keratinized gingiva(group III). In each subject, the ectopic canine was orthodontically aligned, and changes in periodontal tissue were assessed by measuring keratinized gingival width, attached gingival width, probing depth and bone probing depth. In all three groups, the width of keratinized gingiva was preserved while showed no signs of detrimental periodontal condition such as gingival recession. In all three groups, no significant difference in periodontal pocket depth from control was observed. The width of attached gingiva was significantly greater in patients treated with apically positioned flap procedure(group II) than in patients on other groups.

Tisomy 10p syndrome is a rarely reported chromosomal abnormality with distinct craniofacial anomalies, severe growth and psychomotor retardation, osteoarticular anomalies, and organ malformations. Most of reported cases were due to translocation of 10p to the other chromosome. Rare causes are tandem duplication, maternal pericentric inversion, isochromosome formation. We experienced newborn infant with craniofacial anomaly, hypospadias and extra vertebra and rib. The characteristic craniofacial anomalies were frontal bossing, wide opened fontanel and suture line, sparse eyebrow, turtle beak mouth, Cytogenic analysis showed 46, XY, rec(10) dup(10p) inv (10)(p11.2q26.1). Karyotype of the father was normal(46, XY). However, karyotype of the mother showed 46, XX, inv(10)(p11.2q26.1). Therefore, chromosome 10 recombination resulting from a maternal pericentric inversion formed trisomy 10p. We report rare chromosome abnormality syndrome, trisomy 10p, with brief review.

Choroid plexus papillomas are uncommon neoplasms of the central nervous system, accounting for 0.4% to 0.1% of all intracranial tumors. We present a choroid plexus papilloma in the trigone of the lateral ventricle in an 8 months old infant with hydrocephalus. We successfully controlled hydrocephalus and subdural fluid collection after total removal of the mass.
