BACKGROUND: Headache is a common complaint in patients presenting to the emergency department(ED). Many patients suffered sustained headache even after presenting to the ED. This study investigate whether the patients were received analgesics and timely adequate. METHOD: We analyzed 131 adolescent and adult patients with non-traumatic headache without any neurologic deficit in two emergency department during 6 months period retrospectively. RESULTS: The positive and negative predictive value according to primary impression were 47% and 74% respectively. The mean time to take brain computed tomography(CT) after ED presentation was 120 minutes. The patients with primary impression of intracranial hemorrhage(mainly SAH) were the most fast(mean time 88+/- 70 minutes). 28(21%) patients were received analgesics before taking brain CT(after ED presentation), and 70(53%) patients after CT, 27(54%) patients after cerebrospinal fluid examination. The mean time interval were 43, 126 and 149 minutes on each group being received the analgesics. CONCLUSION: According to this study many patients suffered sustained headache before being classified to certain type of disorder. It may due to the reasons that there were no definite guidelines treating headache, the pain itself, or the physician treats patients as physician's way.

A clinical observation was made on 35 patients with renal tumor who had been admitted to the Department of Urology, Kyungpook University hospital during the period from January, 1975 to December, 1979. The following results were obtained; 1) The incidence of renal tumor among total 1, O29 inpatients was 3.4% and 16.3% among the 214 genitourinary tumors. The most prevalent age group was fifth decade. There were 22 men and 13 women, for a ratio of 1.7`1. 2) histopathological analysis showed renal cell carcinoma in 16 cases, transitional cell carcinoma in 5 cases and Wilms` tumor in 4 cases, in order of frequency. 3) The most frequent symptoms and signs were palpable mass in 51.4%, flank pain in 45.7% and gross hematuria in 42.8%, but these were seen as the classical symptom triad in 11.4% of the patients. 4) Renal angiography was performed in 14 patients with renal tumor. 7 renal cell carcinomas, 2 Wilms` tumors, 3 transitional cell carcinomas and 2 renal cysts were accurately diagnosed. S) At the time of diagnosis distant metastases were found in 6 patients with renal cell carcinoma. 6) Treatment of renal tumors consisted of surgery and adjuvant radiation and/or chemotherapy. In renal cell carcinoma 3 simple nephrectomies, 9 radical nephrectomies and l pedicle ligation only were done. Post-operative radiation or chemotherapy was performed in 2 cases. It patients with Wilms` tumor 1 simple nephrectomy, 3 radical nephrectomies were performed and in all the patients combined radiation and/or chemotherapy after surgery were Jone for cure of tumor. In 5 patients with transitional cell carcinoma, 2 patients underwent simple nephrectomy and 3 patients nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection.

Seventy six patients with renal injury admitted to the Department of Urology, Kyungpook National University Hospital during the least 6 and a half years were reviewed with particular attention to diagnosis and management. The injuries in this series were classified as minor, major and critical injuries according to Hodges classification. 32 patients were classified into minor injury, 41 patients into major injury and 3 patients into critical injury. Excretory urography was obtained in 75 patients and renal angiography only in 6 patients. 31 patients with minor injury were treated conservatively. Conservative management was done in 23 of 41 patients with major injury and the remaining 18 patients were managed surgically. 15 of 18 patients treated surgically in major injury were managed with conservative surgery (renorrhaphy in 9, partial nephrectomy in 5 and symphysiectomy in 1) and remaining 3 patients with nephrectomy. In major injury, 7 out of 23 patients treated conservatively and 3 out of 9 patients managed with renorrhaphy required nephrectomy subsequently due to complicating illness.
