In general, a bulla of the lung is large, air contained sac and it is more than 1cm in diameter, and its wall is well defined and less than 2mm thick. The natural course of bulla of the lung is said to follow a pattern of progressive deterioration. It is a progressive disease, and spontaneous resolution of bulla is very unusual. In the world only two cases of spontaneous resolution of bulla have been reported. We experienced a case of bullous lung disease complicated from miliary tuberculosis in which the bulla was disappeared spontaneously following bulla infection.

A 12-year-old female had a three-year history of fever, non-bilious vomiting and abdominal pain. Upper gastrointestinal series showed a filling defect at the duodenum. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy exhibited circumferential mass extending from the duodenal bulb to the 2nd part of the duodenum which on histology disclosed chronic granulomatous inflammation. Chest X-ray suggested miliary tuberculosis; endotracheal tube aspirate was PCR positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Patient was diagnosed as disseminated tuberculosis of the duodenum and lungs. Quadruple anti-tuberculosis medication was started but patient succumbed to nosocomial sepsis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical utility of the teleradiology system using the information super highway communication network. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two radiologists selected 101 cases of pneumothorax and 20 cases ofmiliary tuberculosis. There were scanned and transmitted to our hospital at a speed of 640 Kbps and displayed on avideo monitor with a resolution of 1280 pixels/line x 1024 lines. Four radiologists divided into three groups :read the images group A read the images without image processing ; group B read the images with image processing, group C read the radiographic films on the view box. The authors compared sensitivity and specificity between thegroups and checked their statistical significance using the Chi-square test. According to the location of thepleural line, we divided the pneumothorax into four types : continve on this live type 1, pleural line confined tothe apex ; type 2, to the upper half ; type 3, to the lower half ; type 4, to the upper through lower half. We then compared sensitivity between the Three groups. RESULTS: In the pneumothorax group, the average sensitivity of group A, B and C was 79%, 90% and 96%, and average specificity was 99%, 99% and 94%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in seasitivity between group A and B and between group B and C (p<0.017). There were no statistically significant difference in specificity between group A and B or between group B and C.In the miliary tuberculosis group, the average sensitivity of group A, B and C was 73%, 78% and 90%, and average specificity was 95%, 95% and 100%, respectively. With regard to sensitivity and specificity, there was no statistically significant difference between group A and B or between group B and C but there was a statistically significant difference between group A and C (p<0.017). According to the location of the pneumothorax, for alltypes, the sensitivity of group A was less than that of group B and group B was less than that of group C. CONCLUSION: All groups showed reduced observer performance in the detection of pneumothorax and miliary tuberculosis when reading a transmitted image on the monitor-workstation compared with reading conventional radiographs on the view box. To improve the clinical utility of the teleradiology system, a higher resolution workstation and adequate image processing are required.

In Korea, tuberculosis is still common disease. Central nervous system tuberculosis can manifest in a variety of forms, including tuberculous meningitis, tuberculous cerebritis, tuberculoma, tuberculous abscess, and miliary tuberculosis. Although intra-axial tuberculomas are the more common type of CNS tuberculosis, extra-axial lesions are rarely encountered. En plaque tuberculoma is an extremely rare presentation of intracranial tuberculosis with mimicking primary or secondary meningeal neoplasia. We describe a rare case of an en plaque tuberculoma accompanied by tuberculous meningitis and tuberculomas.
