We present two cases of cerebral paragonimiasis in a 23-year-old Korean army soldier and in a 18-year-old Korean girl, respectively. The diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical, laboratory and x-ray findings, and was confirmed by the histopathological examination of the excised cyst. P.W. skin test showed positive reaction, whereas C.S. test negative. X-ray study on skull revealed multiple globulated round cystic formations in occipital region. Two months after surgical removal of cysts, visual field were not improved. Pertinent literatures are reviewed.

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1980;21(3):281-289
The authors have experienced a case of lacrimal gland mixed tumor. The patient was 19 years old male who had exophthalmos of his left eye which had grown slowly for one year. The tumor was completely resected with no significant difficulties during operation. About one year later, the patient was readmitted because of recurrent mixed tumor at the same site. A brief review of the related literatures is presented.

A case of iridocyclitis due to cysticercus cyst in the anterior chamber and exophthalmos due to in the orbit. A case of iridocycleitis due to cysticercus cyst in the anterior chamber of the left eye, bilateral exophthalmos due to in the orbit and generalized multiple cysticercus cyst in the subcutaneous tissue, brain and the internal organs is reported in a twenty one year old Korean male. To watch characteristic heaving and undulatory movements of the live cysticercus cyst in the anterior chamber of the eye is fascinating. Iridocyclitis was improved fairly after subconjunctival injection of hydrocortisone acetate 5mg and with general treatment for iridocyclitis. Regarding to literature, ocular cysticercosis is known as a very rare case in Korea. A brief review of the related literatures is presented.

5.A Case of Ocular Hypotony Following Filtering Operation for Chronic Open Angle Glaucoma.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1980;21(3):251-253
The authors have experienced a case of long standing ocular hypotony following filtering operation (sclero-iridectomy) for chronic open angle glaucoma. The patient was 29 years old male who visited our hospital becouse of visual disturbance, haloes vision and mild headache on left eye. We described some of the characteristic clinical findings of ocular hypotony with brief review of the related literatures.

The authors present a case of interstitial keratitis due to congenital syphilis in a 25-years old Korean army soldier, who had admitted to our Eye clinic at 2nd Feb. 68'. The patient may be present, such as interstitial keratitis, deafness and Hutchinson's teeth. Syphilitic interstitial keratitis is known as a rare case in recent time. A brief review of the related literatures is present.

Orbital neuroblastoma is the most common childhood metastatic malignant tumor almost always originating from the adrenal medulla; orbital primary origin is very rare. The authors experenced a case of orbital neuroblastoma. The patient was 3 year old Korean female child who was in apparently good health and no abnormalities noted of physical examminations when she developed ecchymosis of right lower lid. About two week later, she quickly developed a growing mass in the right lower orbital soft tissue. The mass was removed and his topathologically diagnosed as neuroblastoma. Radiotherapy was recommended. About 4 months bter, the patient was readmitted because of recurrence of orbital mass 3t the same site. At surgery, tumor was found invading inner and flooe wall of the orbital bone. The patient died of poor course of the disease, about one year after the onset of symptoms. It was suggested that this case was represented metastatic orbital neuroblastoma on histopathological base, but authors were unable to determine the primary site. A brief review of the related literatures is present.

Congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) is a rare condition which is characterized by abnormal communication of the coronary artery with the right ventricle, right atrium, left atrium, left ventricle or pulmonary artery. In this paper, we report a case of a 68-year-old woman complaining of resting chest pain for one week. Initially, after performing a coronary arteriogram, the case was diagnosed as a CAVF combined with a pulmonary artery aneurysm. However, a multidetector-row CT (MDCT) was also performed, and the structure initially diagnosed as a pulmonary artery aneurysm was identified as a dilated pulmonary sinus. Subsequently, the patient was treated successfully with a simple ligation.

Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been used to prevent and treat venous air embolism in patients in the sitting position undergoing neurosurgical operations However, the safety of PEEP has recently been questioned, because of concern that PEEP might incresae right atrial pressure more than left atrial pressure, thereby predisposing patients with a probe-patent foramen ovale to paradoxical air embolism. But it is controversial and needs further evaluation. In a prior study in rabbits with various venous air volume, the authors found that suddenly decreased mean arterial pressure and arterial PO2 showed peaked P wave, arrhythmias, ST depression and premature ventricular contraction on the EKG. In the present study, the authors examined the effects of 0, 3 and 5 cmHO PEEP (PEEP0, PEEP3, and PEEP5,) in 30 rabbits positioned supine with intravenous 0.5 mg/kg of air injection. In a prior study, we found that 0.5 mg/kg of air injection has serious change but showed low mortality. The measurements were obtained by the precordial doppler ultrasound, end tidal PCO2, mean arterial pressure, arterial PCO2, arterial PO2, and EKG. The results were as follow; 1) Doppler ultrasound was the most sensitive device even with PEEP and end tidal PCO2 was higher with PEEP5 than with PEEP3 and PEEP0 after suddenly decreased by the air injection. In PEEP statistic singnificance was observed (p<0.05). 2) The mean arterial pressure was significantly decreased by the air injection in PEEP0 PEEP3 and PEEP5 but there were no significant differences in all groups. It seemed likely due to low PEEP. 3) In PaCO2, slightly higher PaCO2 was observed in PEEP5 than in PEEP3 and PEEP. No statistic significance was obaerved. In PaO2, significant decrease was observed in all group but in PEEP3 small decrease was observed. 4) The incidence of bradycardia and ST depression was less in PEEP3 and PEEP5 than in PEEP0. In PEEP5, PVC was appeared relatively short duration than other group due to the air lock phenomenon. It was suspeeted that air was more freely passed according to increased right ventricular pressure after air lock. Authors conclude that PEEP has a benefit effect for the prevention of venous air embolism but after the occurence there is little benefit in the treatment.
