1.A Case of Marcus Gunn Syndrome.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1969;10(4):15-17
The authors present a case of Marcus Gunn syndrome associated with paresis of the superior rects muscle. This 25 yrs. old R.O.K Soldier had hypotropia and Complete ptosed eye lid of the right side which was elevated in association with Opennig of the mouth and lateral movement of the jaw to the left side since birth. We have treated him surgically, such as complete resection of the levator muscle and then attachment of the upper eye lid to the frontalis muscle with the technic of Friedenwald-Guyton.

PURPOSE: Racemose hemangiomas of the retina are rare developmental vascular anomalies with abnormal arteriovenous anastomoses. We report our observations of a retinal racemose hemangioma with marked dilation and tortuosity of the retinal vessels in the entire left retina. METHODS: In a 9-year-old boy with loss of vision and mild esotropia who presented with hugely dilated and tortuous retinal vessels in left retina, we examined fundus, fluorescein angiography, cerebral angiography, brain CT and MRI. RESULTS: Fundus and fluorescein angiography of the left eye showed marked dilation and tortuosity of the retinal vessels. Angiographic finding showed rapid filling of all vessels and no dye leakage. MRI finding revealed small tortuous vessels around left optic nerve, optic chiasm and tract. Brain CT and cerebral angiography showed nothing abnormal.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is often used in the management of coronary artery disease and the advances in equipment, technichal skill and acquisition of operator experiences have improved initial success rates and reduced the frequency of complications. However, acute coronary occlusion is the most common and serious complication related to angioplasty and its several potential mechanisms are intracoronary thrombus, coronary artery spasm and coronary artery dissection. Accordingly,heparinization, intracoronary thrombolysis, re-PTCA, stent implantation and emergency coronary artery bypass grafting have been previously used for reopening of an occluded coronary artery during angioplasty. In this report we describe our experience in the management of acute coronary occlusion of left anterior descending artery caused by dislodgement of thrombotic material during PTCA by means of aspiration thromboembolectomy instead of medical therapy,re-PTCA and stent implantation.

The authors reviewed the charts of 128 patients(160 eyes) who underwent vitrectomy for the proliferative diabetic retinopathy from January 1993 to December 1995 and the results were analyzed in terms of visual efficiency. At the conclusion of the study, visual acuity improved in 96 eyes(60%), unchanged in 33 eyes(21%) and in 31 eyes(19%) became worse. Visual efficiency was increased from 11.9% preoperatively to 37.2% postoperatively in all patients. Patients under the age of 40 showed better results than the patients above the age of 40. The factors which affected the change in visual efficiency were age and preoperative intraocular conditions. The patients who had non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage without proliferative membrane revealed better prognostic results than the other patients. In 50 eyes (31.3%) of cases, maximal postoperative visual acuity was achieved in 4 weeks to 3 months after operation.

This study was designed to investigate factors relating to fiscal deficit for regional health insurance. The financial statements for the fiscal year 1990 of nationwide 254 regional medical insurance societies were analyzed. Important findings are summarized below: 1. There were differences in the main reason for the financial deficit among regions when deficit and surplus societies were compared by regions. The total revenue per enrollee, especially revenue from the premium contribution of a deficit society was significantly smaller than that of a surplus society in large cities and counties. On the other hand, the total expenditure per enrollee of a deficit society was larger than that of a surplus society in small cities. 2. Both low premium irate at the beginning of health insurance program and less effort to increase the premium rate were main factors for the smaller revenue from the contribution of a deficit society in large cities and counties. 3. Larger expenditures per covered person of a deficit society in small cities were explained with larger medical expenditures especially for out-patients services rather than larger administrative expenses. 4. A regression analysis showed that utilization rates in out-patient services were significantly associated with income and numbers of total medical care institution per capita within a region where a health insurance society located. Also expenses paid by insurer per visit were associated with the proportion of utilization for tertiary care hospitals as well as the proportion of utilization of public health centers.

The cataract extraction in vitrectomized proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR) may be different from the ordinary non-vitrectomized patients in several points. We tried to know what`s the problems during the operation, how`s the visual outcomes and the postoperative complications in these eyes. In 18 previously vitrectomized PDR patients(25 eyes), we performed the extracapsular cataract extraction(ECCE) in 7 eyes and the phacoemulsification in 18 eyes. The intraoperative problems were insufficient dilation of pupil, unstability of (anterior and posterior) chamber depth, and difficulty in removal of cortex, which is firmly adherent to the posterior lens capsule. Opacity of posterior lens capsule, elevation of intraocular pressure, exudative pupillary membrane, posterior synechia and corneal edema were the major postoperative complications. In 22 eyes(88%), the visual acuity was increased more than 2 lines, Cataract extraction was easier and less postoperative complications these cases.

Voice changes developing after endotracheal intubation during right hemicolectomy with endotracheal intubation have been found to be due to a right recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy in 43-years-old male patient. It was likely that the inflated cuffed tube rode up to the level of the cricoid cartilage during the course of surgery as traction was placed on the endotracheal tube because the condenser humidifier and breathing circuit weighed heavy. Cuff overexpansion, in addition to muscle relaxation and decreased tracheal elasticity were considered as contributing factors of vocal cord palsy. We believe that tube traction and cuff overexpansion were the mechanism of vocal cord palsy in our patient. So we recommend the routine use of tube stand so that weigh of the breathing circuit does not transmit traction to the endotracheal tube. Concurrently, filling the cuff with a sample of the inspired mixture of gases, saline and 4% lidocaine in special cases or regular deflation of the cuff must be considered.
