Anisakiasis refers to the accidental infection of humans by a marine nematode as a result of eating a raw flsh which contains larval stages of the nematode sub-family Anisakidae. This patient developed acute epigastric pain three days after eating a raw flsh, Astroconcer myriaster. Gastrofiberscopy revealed Anisakis larva invading the stomach wall and the larva could be extracted using a biopsy forceps via gastrofiberscopy. The worm was identified as Terranova type A larva based on their morphologic features such as its length, width, intestinal cecum reaching to anterior one-third level of ventriculus and a mucron at posterior end.

The utilization of CT-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy of bone has been the subject of considerable interest, since the introduction of the CT scanning. The CT-guided needle biopsy of 11 consecutive patients with avariety of "Etiology Unknown Spinal Disorders" resulted in a 100% yield of positive tissue diagnosis without significant complicaitons. The main advantage of CT guidance is the continuous direct observation of the needletip position in relation to the target volume, the more precise sampling from smaller and deeper lesion is another advantage. We are confident that localization of pathology by CT is the most accurate method for perform ingbiopses, and thus replaces the conventional ways of approaches and this could be utilized on the other organbiopsy in the future.

STUDY DESIGN: This study analyzed the efficacy of the reduction and its maintenance using the posterior pedicular screw system in adult patients undergoing surgical treatment for symptomatic, isthmic spondylolisthesis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the reduction for lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis in adult. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: If the increase of the shear force is approved as a main biomechanical feature of spondylolisthesis, reduction of the shear forces to the physiologic level must be regarded as the goal of surgical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 11 cases were treated with posterior monosegmental two point f;cation and posterolateral fusion (Group 1), 8 cases with a combined surgery of posterior monosegmental two point fixation, posterolateral fusion and anterior interbody fusion (Group 2), and 20 cases with posterior two segmental three point fixation and posterolateral fusion (Group 3). We assessed the clinical results and the radiologic objective parameters. RESULTS: The patients were followed up for more than 2 years (mean : 64 months). The satisfactory clinical results were 9 cases (81.8%) in Group 1 ,7 cases (87.5%) in Group 2 and 17 cases (85%) in Group 3. Radiologically, the efficacy of reduction and its maintenance were satisfactory results in Group 2, and the changes of the slip angle and the disc height showed that the loss of correction was greater than postoperative correction, although there were no statistical significant differences in the three groups. CONCLUSION: According to the our results, there was no significant relationship between the clinical result and the rdiological one. However, we think that the correcton of the deformity using the posterior pedicular screw system have some biomechanical advantages and seem to be recommendable for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis in adults.

Potentially, some donor site complications are associated with the harvesting of autogenous tricortical iliac bone grafts for anterior spinal fusion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the anterior iliac crest reconstruction after harvesting autogenous iliac grafts for anterior spinal fusion. We devided into two groups : the study group were the anterior iliac crest reconstruction in 57 patients with minimal twelve months follow up period, the control group were not the anterior iliac crest reconstruction in 21 patients who could not obtain the rib from retroperitoneal approach. The average follow up was obtained at 43.3 months(12 to 72 months) in study group, at 41.6 months(12 to 60 months) in control group. The study group had a tendency to improve the donor site pain after incorporation of the rib graft and the control group tend to remain the donor site pain till late especially in the thinner group and combined disease group. In residual deformity of the donor site, the study group was superior to the control group. Residual deformity of the study group was associated with the complications such as displacement and resorption of the grafts. Cosmetic residual deformity tends to be higher in the thinner group. Radiographically all rib gragts incorporated in situ in 51 patients despite of some cases of migration(Average 11 weeks and 4 days) and clinical results did not affect by biological behavior of rib grafts on the follow up radiogram. The authors attempted anterior iliac crest reconstruction using the implants (Mennen plate in 3 patients, threaded pin in 3 patients) after large harvesting of autogenous tricortical graft in 6 patients who could not obtain the rib from retroperitoneal approach or could not fit the rib too the defect. In those cases the results were satisfactory clinically. These results suggest anterior iliac crest reconstruction can minimize painful deformity after the harvesting of autogenous tricortical iliac grafts for anterior spinal fusion.

The Graf system has supposed advantages with its flexible nature, as compared with rigid fixation. But there have been no reports about effects in the adjacent motion segment after soft stabilization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiologic changes occuring in the adjacent segments of the Graf system and to assess its ability stabilizing the lumbar spine. A retrospective review of radiographs and medical records was undertaken in 32 cases who had been treated with the Graf system in degenerative lumbar spinal disorders. The average age at operation was 52.5 years and the average follow up period was 49.6 months. The results of this study were as follows: clinical assesments based on the Kirkaldy-Willis criteria revealed excellent in 13 cases (40.6%), good in 16 cases (50%), fair in 2 cases (6.3%) and poor in 1 case (3.1%). Radiologically we analysed the adjacent segments in 25 cases except the cases which did not have the correspondence between the clinical findings and the radiological findings, and the fixated segments in 32 cases. The acceleration of degenerative changes were found in the above adjacent segments in 11 cases (44%) and in the below adjacent segments in 5 cases (27.7%). Also, those changes were found in the fixated segments with discectomy in 19 cases (50%) and in the fixated segments without discectomy in 9 cases (37.5%). In conclusion, we think that the Graf system in a lumbar region may biomechanically influence the adjacent segments. The mechanical effects of the device could be changed by the polyester bands which were followed for a longer period of time in the fixated segments. Therefore, randomized prospective studies comparing the Graf system to other treatement methods could provide clear indications for lumbar spinal disorders.
