Fiddler's neck was first described by Peachey and Matthews in 1978 to denote a condition characterized by focal lichenification and pigmentation on the left side of violinist and violist neck just below the angle of the jaw. The etiologic facters are friction, local pressure, occlusion, poor hygiene and sweating. In only a few cases has a specific hypersensitivity to one or more of the ch!n rest material(wood, lacquer, dye) or the metallic fixing been found responsible. We report a case of 15-year-old female patient with Fiddler's neck who has played the violin for 8 years.

The flexor tendon injuries of the finger are very difficult to treat satisfactorily. Early treatment is desirable, but not always posaible. In addition, joint stiffness and limitation in gliding of the tendon caused by adhesion, make the problem more complex. From 1978 until 1988, 13 patients (14 eases) underwent operations for free tendon graft, and 10 patients (13 eases) for staged tendon graft at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Medieal Center. They have been followed up for clinical study, and the result was summarized as follows:1. Old flexor tendon injuries were common in the teen and twenties, especially in male. 2. They occurred in the index (10 Cases, 37.0%) and middle (8 cases, 29.6%) fingers most commony, especially zone II (62.9%). 3. The result was evalusted according to the method designed by Strickland and Glovac. In 19 out of 27 cases, satisfactory result (excellent and good) was yielded. 4. In cause, deep laceration by sharp object was better in the result than crushing injury. 5. The interval between the injury and the operation ranged from 1 month through 11 years, averaging 16 months, and is supposed to have little relation to the result. 6. The preoperative state is supposed to have much relation to postoperative result, judging from 100% of satisfactory result in Grade I compared with 40% in Grade V according to Boyes preoperative classification. 7. Little difference is seen in the result between free tendon graft and staged tendon graft. And 5 cases complicated by adhesion, rupture of grafted tendon and wound infection yielded poor result.

Exophthalmos after trauma may develop because of retrobulbar hemorrhage, carotid cavernous fistula and orbital roof fracture. The orbital roof is composed of two layers of strong bone that makes it the strongest among the orbital walls and reports of its case are hardly found. However, rarely strong impact such as in automobile accidents causes these fractures and exophthalmos may develop due to herniation of brain tissue through a traumatic defect in the roof of the orbit. The authors experienced gradually increasing exophthalmos in a 33-year old man who had developed a subdural hematoma, orbital roof fracture and anterior temporal skull fracture due to an automobile accident. We report a case of orbital roof fracture in which herniation of brain was shown in orbital computed tomography and exophthalmos disappeared after dural suture.

Opposition of the thumb is necessary for pinch-one of the three most important functions of the hand. Frequently, opposition is either partially or totally lost in poliomyelitis or median nerve palsy. Several types of operations have been devised for restoration of opposition, and in 1973, Burkhalter et al. announced extensor indicis proprius opponensplasty: the tendon of extensor indicis proprius is brought out in the area of the pisiform and then passed against subcutaneously across the palm to the thumb, being attached to the abductor pollicis brevis and extensor pollicis longus tendon. It is useful in the case of loss of opposition without available finger flexor or wrist motors. Of nine patients who underwent operation-one with Riordan and eight with Burkhalter type of opponensplasty-at National Medical Center, seven had excellent results: one had a fair, and another one had a poor result. Six patients were with low combined median and ulnar nerve injury: one with high combined median and ulnar nerve injury: one with brachial plexus injury: and one with myotmesis of the thenar muscles. From the results, we conclude that Burkhalter type of opponensplasty makes satisfactory result for the hand without opposition movement; it is indicated in high median nerve injury and any combined median and ulnar nerve injury6; early restoration of opposition to the thumb in median nerve injury and in those limbs with multiple tissue trauma adds immeasurably to the over-all early rehabilitative effort.

A 44 year-old male without a specific past history demonstrated violaceous colored. angulated flat papules in a zosteriform arrangement along the medial aspect of left arm and upper anterior chest for 3 months. In addition, whitish patches with a lace-like pattern were seen on the buccal mucosa. The histopathologic findings were characteristic of lichen planus. The zosteriform lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus, Especially, it has been rarely observed in cases that developed without a previous history of herpes zoster or factors that lead to the Koebner phenoinenon In this context, it piqued our scientific curiousity enough to investigate it.

Of the 166 cases of suspected cosmetic contact dermatitis, 92 showed positive reactions to one or more of the allergens of the commercial test kits or patients, own coametics by patch test. Tincture of benzoin, ammoniated mercury, cinnamic alcohol and benzyl salicylate were the most commonly identified agents. By product category, skin care produts dominated as the cause of the cosmetic conact dermatitis. However, it was suspected that the most common sensitizer may be present in the eye-make up preparations. The positive rate of foreign cosmetics was more than 2 fold higher than the domestic ones.

Malakoplakia of the bladder is an extremely rare condition in which there are multiple round or oval, plaque like or occasionally polypoid projections of the mucosa and submucosa which may be mistaken for cancer. It is believed to be infectious in origin, secondary to a deficiency of intracellular lysosomal digestion. There is often a clinical history of urinary tract infection, and the condition is considered to be an atypical form of granulomatous response to Gram negative coliform infection. We report a case of malakoplakia of the bladder clinically simulating malignant tumor, which was treated successfully with transurethral resection and antibiotics.
