Primary ovarian transitional cell carcinoma is extremely rare tumor. The histologic subtype was divided from malignant Brenner tumor due to it's own histologic characteristics and chemosensitive nature. Most of recent studies revealed that transitional cell carcinoma has a good response to chemotherapy and long-term survival. Recent histopathologic reports show that transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and of the ovary are immunophenotypically different. We experienced a case of primary ovarian transitional cell carcinoma, and report this case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

Ophthalmoplegia has many possible causes that must be considered. Among them, common causes of combined third, forth, and sixth nerve palsies at the base of brain induced mass effect are head trauma, neoplasm, and aneurysm. Cysticercosis is unique among infectious lesions of the brain stem because the associated clinical symptoms are primarily related to mass effect on adjacent neural structures and differential diagnosis with other space-occupying lesions is difficult on clinical grounds. We report a patient who presented with right oculomotor and trochlear palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large cystic sass on the interpeduncular cistern and midbrain. Surgical extirpation was done, which was followed by clinical improvement.

Development of acetabulum and epiphysis of the femoral head following reduction in seventy-four patients with ninty-one congenitally dislocated hips were assessed radiologically. Acetabular index, CE angle of Wiberg, neck-shaft angle of the femur and overgrowth of the pelvis and femur were measured according to the various treatment. To evaluate results, the method of treatment was divided into four groups; closed reduction, open reduction, open reduction combined with pelvic osteotomy and modified Klisic operation (open reduction, pelvic osteotomy, femoral osteotomy and so on). Each treatment was compared with three subgroups according to ages; first subgroup was belong to patients under one year of age, second from one year to three years, third over three years. This paper agrees to Harris (1976) and Lindstrom (1979) about improvement of acetabular index and CE angle of Wiberg that showed a rapid rate of repair in the first 6 months and thereafter slowly progressed to normal range of degree. Overgrowth of pelvis and femur was also noticed in cases of hips treated pelvic and/or femoral osteotomy, moreover even in cases of open reduction only. The goal of this preliminary investigation may be supposed to propose the idea which method of treatment to the first visiting patient will approach the most satisfactory final result.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: There are few reports of affecting factors of the longterm prognosis after acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this prospective study was to determine which variables, of those easily measurable during the first 24 hours after stroke onset, would be predictors of longterm outcome. METHOD: Ninety-eight patients with an acute ischemic stroke were evaluated within 24 hours after symptom onset. The following potential affecting factors of outcome were prospectively collected : demographic datas, socioeconomic factors, risk factors of cerebrovascular accidents, clinical f indings as measured by the National Institute of Health (NIH) scale, laboratory findings and premorbid varibles rated according to modified Rankin score (mRS). We evaluated the outcome, assessed with mRS as good (mRS 3 or less) and poor (mRS 4, 5 or death) and follow up was undertaken at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after onset. The statistical analysis was performed by means of SPSS/PC+package to determine the longterm prognostic factors. RESULTS: The multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that the outcome depend on NIH scale(p<0.001), age (p<0.01), previous stroke(p<0.01), loss of consciousness (LOC) at onset (p Follow-Up Studies ; Humans ; Paresis ; Prognosis ; Prospective Studies ; Risk Factors ; Socioeconomic Factors ; Stroke ; Unconsciousness
