We experience a case of plexiform neurofibroma in a 10-year-old girl who had unusual giant pigmentation and multiple skcletal abnormalities including pectus cariimtum. Histologic examination of the lesion taken from right upper arm permitted a diagnosis of plexiform neurofibroma.

Cloeortolone (9-a-chloro-6-a fluoro-11-B 21 digydroxy-16 methyl preganl,4-diene) is a newly synthesized corticonsteroid which has been found to have potent antinflammatory action and good tolerance through animal experiment. Several investigators reported its therapeutic affect in various dermatoses by topical application. The present was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effect of 0.1% clocortolone cream (Purantix-Sandoz) in patients with eczematous dermatoses and with psoriasis and to compare its effect with that of I% hydrocortisone. Eleven patients with contact dermatitis, 10 with psoriasis entered this study durtin the period of 6 months from January to june, 1977 at the Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University Hospital. All patients were instructed to apply 0.1% Clocortolone cream on one side of their lesion and 1%hydrocortisone cream on the opposite site for two weeks. After wo weeks' period of observation the status of the lesion was evaluated clinically and the tesults were as follows. 1. Ninety one percent of patiens with contact dermatitis, 70% of atopic dermatitis, 60% of nenrodermatitis, 67% of nummular eczema and 60% of psoriasis responded very effectively or moderately effectively. The therapeutic responses were generally similar to that of 1% hydrocortisone. 2. During the ovservation period, there was no systemic of local side effect of 0.1% Clocortolone cream.

Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia(CPEO) is rare syndrome, which is characterized by slowly progressive blepharoptosis, paralysis of extraocular muscle and has involvement of other organs, particularly the retina, heart, endocrine gland, and bony skeleton. Histological examination of muscle showes characteristic ragged red fibers. Electron microscopy reveals a number of abnormal mitochondria which contain paracrystalline inclusion bodies. We experienced a 50-year-old female with CPEO, that was pathologically proven by electron microscopy and bilateral levator levator advancements were given for ptosis.

The Sjogren-Larsson syndrome is genetically determined syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritence and characterized by the three cardinal signs: congenital ichthyosis, spastic di/tetraplegia, and mental retardation. Ocular signs include ectropion, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, and macular glistening spot. The authors have experienced a case of Sjogren-Larsson syndrome that showed classical triad and macular glistening spot in a 16 month old boy.

Purpose: This study examined the demographic and radiological risk factors for later reduction loss of distal radius fractures treated conservatively. Materials and Methods: This study enrolled patients treated for distal radius fractures between January 2017 and December 2019. Seventy-eight patients were included in the analysis and divided into two groups. The patients who showed minimal reduction loss within an acceptable radiologic angle after initial manual reduction were classified as Group A. The patients who showed reduction loss out of an acceptable radiologic angle and finally malunited or converted to surgical treatments were classified as Group B. The patient’s age and bone marrow density were used as demographic data. The initial X-ray images were evaluated to determine the fracture type. Various radiological parameters were measured. Results: The 78-patient study cohort consisted of nine men and 69 women with a mean age of 67 years. Forty-eight cases were sorted into Group A, and 30 cases into Group B. On logistic regression analysis, the age of 80 or older was a risk factor for later fracture displacement among the demographic factors (p=0.037, odds ratio=4.937). Among the radiographic factors, the presence of distal ulnar fracture and dorsal cortical comminution were disclosed as risk factors of later displacement (p=0.049, 0.003, odds ratio=3.429, 7.196). Conclusion When conservative management for distal radius fracture is decided in patients more than 80 years of age or accompanied by a distal ulnar fracture or with dorsal cortical comminution, the possibility of later displacement of the distal radius should be considered.
