In the 2009 edition of the Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, we published an article entitled "Ideal Internal Carotid Artery Trapping Technique without Bypass in a Patient with Insufficient Collateral Flow" (Volume 45, Pages 260-263), which was written by Joon Ho Chung, M.D.,1 Yong Sam Shin, M.D.,1 Yong Cheol Lim, M.D.,2 Minjung Park, M.D.3. The first author's name is mistyped. Thus, we correct the first author's name from Joon Ho Chung to Joonho Chung.

Glycopyrrolate is frequently administered in combination with neostigmine to reverse a neuromus- cular blockade. The dosage was well established at 1/5 of neostigmine. But the authers have often observed a delayed manifestation of relative bradycardia after such a recommended dosage. This is not mentioned in the literature, but this may be due to an insufficient observation period. The authors monitored the change of pulse rate for 1 hour after the administration of the recom. mended dose. Further, the data wIns compared with that obtained after studies of lower and higher doses. The doses were 0.004, 0.008 and 0.012mg/kg of glycopyrrolate with 0.04mg/kg of neostigmine. 1) At all doses, bradycardia relative to the pre-reversal pulse rate was progressive until 30 minutes after injection. 2) As the glycopyrrate dose was increased the degree of bradycardia decreased (-24.7, -20.5, - 15.0 at 30 min.). 3) There was no difference in the immediate change in the pulse rate between the dcsages of 0.008 and 0.012 mg/kg. Change occured at 9 mins. 4) At dosages of 0.004 and 0.008 mg/kg, the pulse rates at 60 min were comparable to their ward pulses, but at a dosage of 0.012 mg/kg, the pulse rate was 8.5 beats/min higher.

The anatomy of oral cavity in Down syndrome is characterized by hypotonic macroglossia, small oral cavity, and narrow palate with high-arch shape. Because of such characteristics, patients show difficulty in articulation, resonance and phonation. They also suffer from respiratory difficulty due to narrow upper respiratory tract which is exaggerated by hypertrophied tonsil and adenoid. So far we operated on 100 children with Down syndrome for partial glossectomy in average volume of 4.6 cc. We analyzed the results by means of questionnaires and speech test with multi-speech model 3700 program before and after the operation. After partial glossectomy, we observed that they could close their lips comfortably, and it can mitigate the stigma of Down syndrome. We could also observe the improvement in voice quality, pitch, resonance and articulation. Through paired t-test using SAS, we analyzed value of F1, F2-F1, and changes of fundamental frequency(Fo). After partial glossectomy, anteriorly positioned tongue of Down patients became significantly smaller in size and be located posteriorly.

To formulate treatment strategies for poor-grade patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH), medical records were analyzed for 166 patients who were in Hunt and Hess grade IV or V among 588 consecutive aneurysmal SAH patients admitted during the past 5 years. Causes for unfavorable outcome(poor or dead) in these 166 patients were carefully evaluated to improve the management outcome. Overall management results were favorable(good or fair) in 71(42.8%), and unfavorable in 95(78 dead, 17 poor). Direct clipping was performed in 90 patients, and the surgical results were favorable in 69(76.7%) and unfavorable in 21(23.3%). Surgery was not performed in 76 patients because of moribund state on arrival in 41, neurological deterioration due to rebleeding in 15, massive brain swelling in seven, serious medical illness in five, severe delayed ischemic deficit in one, and massive cerebral infarction following angiography in one, and refused surgery in six. Seven patients survived from non-surgery group(2 fair, 5 poor). Direct effects of aneurysm rupture(34.8%) and early rebleeding(34.8%) were the causes of unfavorable outcome in grade IV patients, while it was direct effect of aneurysm rupture(91.8%) in grade V patients. It is suggested that since rebleeding is the only preventable factor of unfavorable outcome, urgent management seems necessary to prevent rebleeding, especially for grade IV patients. Grade IV patients should be treated aggressively with direct clipping for non-complex aneurysms or for patients with hematoma, and with coil embolization for complex aneurysms without hematoma.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Incidences of postoperative mucoceles of the frontal, ethmoid, or sphenoid sinuses are currently on the rise. The clinical rogression of the postoperative mucoceles in the frontal, ethmoid, or sphenoid sinuses are different from that of the maxillary mucoceles. In this study, we investigated the clinical patterns and treatments of postoperative mucoceles, which have developed in the frontal, ethmoid, or sphenoid sinuses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between June,1994 and August, 2005, twenty-six patients with thirty postoperative mucoceles were treated surgically. They had a previous history of operation and incidences of maxillary mucoceles were excluded from the study. A review of the clinical subjects were performed using their clinical records and radiological findings. RESULTS: The locations of the postoperative mucoceles were, in the order of frequency, the ethmoid, frontal, fronto-ethmoid, spheno- ethmoid, sphenoid, and fronto-ethmoidsphenoid sinus. Postoperative mucoceles occurs mostly in the form of ophthalmic symptoms and headache. The ophthalmic manifestations were different between the anterior, posterior and the antero-posterior mucocele group. The mean duration until diagnosed as postoperative mucocele since the previous sinus surgery was 9.9 years, and endoscopic sinus surgeries and intranasal ethmoidectomies with Caldwell-Luc operations were the majority among previous surgeries. Most postoperative mucoceles could be successfully treated with an endoscopic marsupialization. CONCLUSION: Frontal, ethmoid, or sphenoid postoperative mucoceles developed mostly on the ethmoid sinus and occurs mainly in the form of ophthalmic symptoms. Most postoperative mucoceles were successfully treated with an endoscopic marsupialization.

Many features of the developing nervous system are visible from external observations of intact human embryos. In this study, a photographic atlas from the 4th to the 7th week after ovulation (Carnegie stages 10-18) is provided. The neural folds began to fuse at stage 10, and the rostral and caudal neuropore were closed during stages 11 and 12, respectively. The three primary divisions of the brain were distinguishable before closing of the neural tube. The five secondary brain vesicles were formed during stages 14-15. The development of the cerebellum and cerebrum were first observed at stages 14 and 15, respectively. The mesencephalic flexure was seen at stage 12, and the cervical flexure and pontine flexure at stage 14. After stages 18-19, it became increasingly difficult to identify detailed features of the brain from the surface. Results from this study will help to correlate the characteristic findings of the developing central nervous system of human embryos from stereomicroscopical and light microscopical observations and to locate the exact parts of the developing human brain for other purposes.

A weight-holding tremor is a rare type of hand tremor that occurs only when someone holds some weight. Here we report three cases of isolated weight-holding tremors, of which one patient was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the others as a variant of essential tremor (ET). A 68-year-old woman presented with a left-hand tremor that appeared only when she held objects with some weight. Her tremor was reminiscent of the re-emergent tremor of PD, and dopamine transporter imaging revealed reduced uptake at the right posterior putamen. A 21-year-old man and a 71-year-old woman also presented with similar weightholding tremors. However, these tremors were not re-emergent, and no signs of parkinsonism were observed during follow-up. Although the underlying etiologies of these tremors differed, all three tremors worsened as the held weight increased. These tremors could be isolated isometric tremors, but further research is needed to clarify the nature of this rare tremor.
