The authors experienced a case of secondary glaucoma combined with mesodermal dysgenesis of anterior segment, which disclosed extensive peripheral iridocorneal adhesion of congenital origin while his fellow eye revealed a sclerocornea. This case is extremely rare and entirely different from the previously reported Axenfeld's and Rieger's anomalies. We report this interesting case with brief review of the literatures.

Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, which was first described by Van Lehuizen in 1922, is characterized by the presence at birth of a persistent cut;is marmorata pattern, phlebectasia, spider nevus-like telangiectasia, and areas of ulceration and steady improvernent with time. We reported a case of cutis mar.morata telangiectatica. congenita occuring in a 70 days old female infant showing the reticulated mottling and atrophy of the skin on the both lower extremites, right upper extremity, abdomen and buttock muscle weakening of right upper extremity and left lower extremity compare with the opposite side. Skin lesions were much improved during the observation period of 10 months without any other specific treatment except hermiatrophy of right upper extremity.

The idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum which was first described by Shapiro et al. in 1970 is usually multiple, asymptomatic nodules of the scrotal skin and is easily misdiagnosed clinically as calcified epidermal inclusion cyst or pilar cyst. We present three cases of the idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum. Clinically these three patients showed slightly yellowish papules or nodules in the scrotum without any other cutaneous disorders and subjective symptoms except mild itching sensation in one case. Histopathologically calcium deposits were found in the dermis without any evidence of residual cysts, and partial foreign body reaction was seen around the calcified area in one case. Laboratory findings including serum calcium, phosphorous and potassium level were within normal limits.

A 56-year- old man showed millet seed to egg sized, yellowish tender papules, subcutaneous mass on the both elbows, dorsa of both hands & feet, and lateral malleoli and helix of right ear for 6 years. the significant laboratory findings were leukocytosis, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, glycosuria, hyperuricemia and increased blood glucose level. X-ray findings of both hands & feet demonstrated gouty arthritic patterns. Histopathologic findings of the left lateral malleolar lesion revealed the typical patterns. Histopathologic findings of the left lateral malleolar lesion revealed the typical pattern of gout with needle-shaped urate crystal. Therapy was begun with colchicine & allopurinol but the patient died of renal failure three weeks after the start of therapy.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1982;20(6):845-851
The effect of 50 per cent potassium iodide (KI) ointment with occlusive dressing on onychomycosis of the fingers and toes was studiei in 54 patients with 176 diseased nails. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Of a total of 76 fingernails and 100 toenails in 54 patients, all fingernails and toenails showed an excellent response with easy removal of the diseased nails. 2. The duration that the occluded KI aintment remained in place before successful avulsion was 6. 6 (range, 3 to 18) days for fingernails, and 6. 8 (range, 3 to 20) days for toenails with onychomycosis. 8. Of 16 nails of control group which were treated with vaseline, none showed the significant improvement. 4. The problems during this treatment were; mild irritation and/or itching (9 cases), and pin-point bleeding on curettage of nail bed (18 cases). It is suggested that the KI treatment has many advantages and seemed to be an ideal method of treatment of onychomycosis.

9.Histologic Findings of the Levator Muscle in Congenital and Acquired Ptosis.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1991;32(12):1031-1040
The authors have studied 132 biopsy specimens of the levator muscle by light microscopy and electron microscopy, after the external levator resetion for congen ital and acquired ptosis in 98 patients. Severe atrophy and complete absence of the levator muscle fiber were observed frequently in the all types of congenital and acquired ptosis, Fibrosis and fatty infiltration of the levator muscle and Miiller's muscle were examined in the specimens with severe atrophy of muscle fibers, There was no histopathological difference between congenital and acquired ptosis. On histochemical detection of muscle fibers using ATPase stain, lightly stained type I fibers of the levator muscle were larger in amount than darkly stained type II fibers and atrophy of the two fiber was similar in degree. Muller's muscle fiber was preserved well in normal structure.

10.Clinical Experience of Lazy-T Operation.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1991;32(7):509-513
Five Lazy-T procedures for medial ectropion of the lower lid were performed in 4 patients(3 males, 1 female). Of these 5 procedures, one was for involutional ectropion and 4 were for cicatrical ectropion which occurred after lid surgery or were due to facial xerosis. Ages ranged from 55 to 68 years. After the follow-up period of 8 to 29 months, all cases showed marked improvement of tearing, ocular injection, and discharge without any recurrence or overcorrection.
