A case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome was presented with some clinical observation. Special feature was the presence of cyst-like elevated portions at the peripheral iris, in addition to secondary glaucoma, alopecia, poliosis and vitiligo. Of the iris, the surface of elevated portion was thin and depigmented. A light red fundus reflex was observed through the surface of iris cyst as in case of the albino and neovascularization was seen in the peripheral iris. Neither hyperglycemia in blood nor pleocytosis of spinal fluid was found in laboratory examination. In neurological examination including hearing disturbance, none of abnormality was found.

A case of Coats' disease, apparently as the first report in Korea, is presented. The patient was 17 years old Korean female and hospitalized Woo-Suk University hospital on May 23, 1969. Although cyclodialysis had been performed to the patient her intraocular pressure remained as the same as before the treatment, and thus enucleation Was done finally.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence of indications for the removal of mini-plates over a five-year period in maxillofacial trauma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The medical records of 530 patients who underwent treatment with mini-plate fixation after maxillofacial trauma were reviewed for a five-year period (May 2007 to May 2012). Patients were evaluated concerning the number of mini-plates removed, age and gender distributions, time between insertion and removal, indication for removal, and site of removal. RESULTS: The plates of 120 patients were removed (26 females and 94 males). The removal rate was 22.6%. The most frequent indication for removal was patient demand (81.7%), followed by tooth extraction (7.5%), and pain (3.3%). The most frequent removal site was the mandible (95.0%). CONCLUSION: The number of mini-plates removed was small, and the most common indication for removal was patient demand. There is no evidence to support a recommendation for the routine removal of titanium mini-plates.

A case of Crouzon's disease, in spite of the relatively small number of cases reported until recently. The patient was 3years old male and hospitalized Woo-Sok University hospital 5 May, 1970. the appearance of the patient was striking type of facial deformity. There is a marked frontal boss forming a prominent bregmatic tumour, hooked nose, a small receding maxilla and a pronounced prognathism in wthich the teeth of the lower jaw protrude several centimetres beyond those of the upper. Proptosis and subnormal mentality was present, Cerebral decompression had been performed to the patient for his exophthalmos, it was aggreviated after the operation and thus enucleation was done finally.

This study describes pathological, immunohistochemical, and bacteriological findings in adult dogs and fetuses naturally infected with Brucella (B) canis. A total of 42 dogs including 40 dogs and 2 aborted fetuses were examined. The most common gross lesions in infected dogs were swelling of lymph nodes and spleen. The testes showed marked swelling with multifocal to diffuse reddish discoloration. The most significant histopathological lesions were observed in the placenta. Placental trophoblasts were markedly hypertrophied due to the accumulation of intra-cellular gram-negative bacteria. Lymphocytic inflammation of varying severity was observed in the reproductive organs such as male testis, epididymis, and prostate gland and female uterus. Strong immunolabelling was observed in the cytoplasm of most trophoblasts in the placental tissues using immunohistochemistry. However, immunohistochemical staining did not demonstrate any organisms in other organs of dogs and fetuses. B. canis isolates were most frequently obtained from the whole blood (82.5%) and superficial inguinal lymph node (77.5%) in both sexes. In addition, the isolation rate was higher in male genital organs than in those of females. Hence, management of male dogs is most important because infected dogs can play a role as carriers.

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a benign cystic intraosseous tumor of odontogenic origin. An infection of a KCOT is not common because KCOT is a benign developmental neoplasm. Moreover, a severe deep neck space infection with compromised airway caused by infected KCOT is rare. This report presents a 60-year-old male patient with a severe deep neck space infection related to an infected KCOT due to cortical bone perforation and rupture of the exudate. Treatment of the deep neck space infection and KCOT are reported.
