There are many procedures for stabilizing the foot but all frail feet, all complete drop feet, and all calcaneocavus deformities due to paralysis are best treated by pantalar fusion. Hunt and Thompson advised one stage pantalar arthrodesis by astragalectomy and replacement of the denuded bone in paraiytic feet resulting from poliomyelitis. At the Presbyterian Medical Center, Jeonju, Korea, 12 one stage pantalar arthrodesis were performed between 1973 and 1978 and following observations were made. 1. Seven of the patient had pantalar fusions because of poliomyelitis. 2. Five feet were equinovarus and 4 had frail feet with varying amounts of varus or valgus of the forepart of the foot and of the heel. 3. Nine patients were considered to have a good result, two had a fair and one was failure 4. Length of immobilization was from 13 weeks to 37 weeks and the average length of immobilization was 17 weeks. 5. In one stage pantalar arthrodesis, there was no complication except one non-union and the period of hospitalization was decreased.

Polymorphic reticulosis(PMR) is a unique clinicopathological entity of unknown etiology, which commonly present as an aggressive, necrotizing lesion of the upper respiratory tract. It is a separate nosologic entity from Wegener's granulomatosis and idiopathic mildine destructive disease. The origin of the cells composing polymorphic reticulosis has been controversial. We reviewed 15 cases of polymorphic reticulosis with respect to clinical and histologic bases, and immunohistochemical studies were done using UCHLI (CD45RO), as a T cell marker, CD-20 as a B cell marker and alpha- I -antichymotrypsin as a histiocytic marker. Almost all cases showed characteristic histologic and immunohistochemical features similar to those of peripheral T cell lymphoma. Thus, this study indidcated that polymorphic reticulosis is a type of malignant lymphoma of T cell lineage.

Superficial siderosis (SS) is a rare disorder characterized by deposition of hemosiderin in the leptomeninges and subpial layer of the central nervous system. Recently SS suggested a subtype of cerebral amyloid angiopathy which is an important cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We present a patient with cortical SS had seizure and cognitive dysfunction as symptom and lobar ICH in the existed area of cortical SS 4 years later. This case suggested cortical SS could be a warning sign of lobar ICH.
