Ocular rosacea is the eye manifestations of rosacea, which involves the lids, conjunctiva, and cornea. A recent study revealed that all patients with cutaneous rosacea had some degree of ocular involvement which is often undiagnosed. It is difficult to make a diagnosis of ocular rosacea because it lacks clinical or pathological hallmarks. However, early diagnosis and treatment are emphasized to decrease morbidity and prevent potential blindness. We report a case of ocular rosacea in a 49 year-old man who showed blepharoconjunctivitis, keratitis, and cutaneous manifestations of persistent erythema, telangiectasia, and papules. The ocular symptoms and signs had improved significantly with tetracycline therapy.

Angiographic findings were analysed in 11 cases of Behcet'sdisease which was diagnosed clinically in Seoul national University Hospital from July 1982 to June 1983. Arterial involvement was noted in 5 cases and venous involvement in 6 cases respectively. Arterial aneurysm and occlusion were arteriographic findings. Arterial aneurysm was noted at large arteries in all 5 cases and multifocal involvement was noted in 4 cases. Characteristic finding of arterial involvement was protruding saccular aneurysm. Venous involvement was thrombotic occlusion of deep veins in iliac, femoral and tibial areas in all 6 cases. Behcet's disease should be differentiated whenever these arterial or venous angiographic findings are revealed in a young adult.

CT has becom increasingly important diagnostic method as the inital examination in the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage with direct detection of extravasated blood inbasal cistern and cortical sulci. Furthermore, CT provides better and exact visualization of the presence, localization, extent and degree of intracerebral, intraventricular and subdural hemorrhage, infarction, hydrocephalus and rebleeding which may be associated wtih subarachnoid hemorrhage, and also could detect the causative lesions with contrast enhancement inmany cases. The purpose of the paper is to describe the CT findings of subarachonid hemorrhage due to various causes and to evalute the diagnostic accuracy of CT in subarachonoid hemorrhage. Authors analysed a total of 153 cases with subarachnoid hemorrhage confirmed by lumbar puncture at Seoul National University Hospital from March 1979 to April 1981, with special emphasis on CT findings.All of the cases took CT scan and 125 cases of the mangiography. The results are as follows; 1. Most prevalent age group was 4th to 6th decades (78%). The ratio ofmale to female was 1.1:1. 2. Of all 125 with angiography, aneurysm was a major cause (68%). Others were arterio-venous malformation (9.6%), Moya-moya disease(4%) and unknown (18.4%). 3. Of all 153 cases with CT scan,hemorrhage was demonstrated in 98 cases (64.1%); SAH in 72 cases (47.1%), ICH in 65 cases (42.5%), IVH in 34 cases(22.2%) and SDH in 1 case(0.7%). SAH combined with ICH was a major group (34.7%) in SAH. Detecton rate of SAH was68.3% within the first 7 days and 5.8% after 7 days. 4. In aneurysms, SAH was detected in 60 of 85 cases (70.6%);88.1% within the first 7 days and 5.6% after 7 days. Anterior communicating artery was the most common site of theaneurysms(40%), in which detection rate of SAH was 100% within the first 7 days. SAH was combined with ICH in38.3%. 5. On CT, SAH of unilateral Sylvian fissure was pathognomonic for ruptured MCA aneurysm and ICH of corpuscallosum for ACA aneurysm. 6. The detection rate of aneurysm itself on CT was 20%(17/85) and its size was variablefrom 5 to 25mm. 7. Infarction was demonstrated in 9 cases (6%) and there was no significant correlation between infarction and angiospasm, 8. Hydrocephalus was detected in 65% cases(42.5%), and 21 cases (32.3%) were demonstrated within the first 3 days.

Renal infarction with ethanol was induced exprimentally in rabbits and selective renal angiography wasperformed to evaluate the effectiveness of ethanol as embolic material. The results were as follows; 1. Completeobstruction of renal artery was produced in all cases within 1 week after injection of absolute ethanol(0.5ml/kg). 2. Incomplete obstruction of renal artery was produced in majority after injection of absolute ethanol(0.2ml/kg) and changed to complete obstruction above half cases with time. 3. Incomplete obstruction of renalartery was produced in minority after injection of 60% ethanol (0.2ml/kg) and complete obstruction of renal arterywas not produced. It was considered that ethanol is an effective agent for complete renal infarction and 0.2 to0,5ml/kg of absolute ethanol is effective dose for complete renal infarction.

Calcaneus is very important in weight bearing and maintaining the normal contour of the foot. Many diseases can cause the cyst-like destructive changes of the calcaneus. In most cases, histological confirmation and bacteriological examination are necessary for the final diagnosis. In recent years, four cases of the cyst-like destructive lesions of the calcaneus were treated and had satisfactory results. They were confirmed with biopsy and bacterial culture as followings; acute osteomyelitis, chronic osteomyelitis, tuberculous osteomyelitis and simple bone cyst. Operations on the osteomyelitis were curettage with or without sequestrectomy and the simple bone cyst the curettage and bone graft. After operations, proper antibiotics and plaster immobilization followed routinely.

A fairly common cause of painful hips in children is the condition variousiy called transient synovitis, phantom hip, toxic synovitis, or transitory synovitis. Infection, trauma, or allergic conditions can be causes of them. The main symptom is most frequently pain of sudden onset in the region of the hip joint with a limp on the affected side. Limitation of motion, especially of abduction, internal rotation and extension seems to confirm the clinical diagnosis. The disease is of interest, not because it is a disabling condition, but because of the difficulty in differentiating it from more serious diseases of the hip, such as tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, or Legg-Perthe's disease. Fifty seven cases of the transient synovitis of the hips were treated and reported on their clinical states and results as follows; 1. The diagnostic criterias were pain, limping, limitation of motion, W.B.C. count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and radiological findings. 2. The treatment was conservative including bed rest, skin traction on the affected leg, non weight-bearing, antibiotics and sedatives. 3. 78.9% of the patients had improved symptoms and signs within three weeks of treatment. 4. Seven hips subsequently developed rheumatoid arthritis (3 cases), slipped upper femoral epiphysis (1 case), pyogenic arthritis (1 case), osteoarthritis (1 case) and snapping hip (1 case).
