Seven eyes of 7 patients had undergone modified Schocketimplant surgery for neovascular glaucoma. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure(IOP) was 49.1 +/- 10.1 mmHg(range 38 to 70 mmHg). With a follow up of 6 to 18 monnths, the mean postoperative IOP was 20.3+/-5.1 mmHg(range 16 to 30 mmHg). The author's personal method to make two oblique valve incisions on the obliterated distal end of the draining silicone tube, prevented early postoperative complications(flat anterior chamber and hypo-tony). The one oblique incision on silicone tube turned into a open valve at a pressure between 17.3 and 21.6 mmHg(average 19.3 mmHg) and two oblique incisions opened at a oblique incisions seemed to be more available for pressure sensitive valve. The complications included minimal hyphema(4 eyes) and progression of cataract(1 eye). Modified Schocket implant are an effective and simple technique in the management of neovascular glaucoma.

Cystadenomas are benign neoplasm in which the epithelium demonstrates adenomatous proliferation. Several morphologic variants of cystadenomas have bean described, including papillary-oncocytic, mucous, and seromucous subtypes. Cystadenomas arising from salivary glands are very rare and seromucous cystadenoma of parotid gland has not been reported in Korea so far. Cystadenomas of the parotid gland usually Present as asymptomatic slowly growing mass and those of the minor salivary glands produce smooth nodules that may be compressible. We performed a superficial parotidectomy in a patient with a seromucous cystadenoma. This may be the first report of seromucous cystadenoma of carotid gland in Korea.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the MR findings of childhood adrenoleukodystrophy regarding the extent of white matter degeneration and the pattern of enhancement, and to correlate these findings with clinical manifestations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six male patients (5-13 years old;mean age, 8.7 years) of biochemically confirmed adrenoleukodystrophy were included in this study. We evaluated the extent of white matter degeneration which was shown as high signal intensity on T2-weighted image, and the pattern of enhancement. Also we correlated the MR findings with clinical manifestations of symptoms and the results of evoked potential studies. RESULTS:The most common sites of predominant involvement were occipital deep white matter, optic radiation, and splenium of corpus callosum (n = 4, 66.7%). The other sites of predominant involvement were frontal deep white matter (n = 1, 16.7%) and pyramidal tract with cerebellum (n = 1, 16.7%). After contrast enhancement, there was peripheral rim enhancement surrounding the most severely affected areas in five cases (83. 3%). These findings were consistent with clinical symptoms in five cases (83.3%), but the results of evoked potential studies were consistent with clinical symptoms in only two cases (33.3%). CONCLUSION:In childhood adrenoleukodystrophy, MRI can clearly demonstrate specific tracts of involvement and these findings were well correlated with clinical manifestations.
