1.A Case of Pulsating Exophthalmos.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1972;13(2):95-98
A case of pulsating exophthalmos is reported in a 50 years old Korean Woman. The complaints of this case were exophthalmos, chemosis on Rt. eye and intracranial bruit. The etiology of this case is considered due to toxemia of pregnancy and hypertension without trauma. A brief review of the literatures related with the etiology, symptom and therapy is made.

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to analyze the natural history of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei originated from mucinous ovarian tumor, evaluate clinical and pathologic variables, and review our experience with available therapeutic modalities. METHODS: Six patients were treated for pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from mucinous ovarian tumor at Severance Hospital between 1990 and 1998. The data were collected retrospectively and all charts were reviewed RESULTS: The mean age at diagnosis was 51 years, and most common symptoms were abdominal distension. Pseudomyxoma peritonei was found in association with five mucinous ovarian tumors of borderline malignancy, and one ovarian mucinous adenoma. All patients underwent surgical staging and cytoreduction, three patients received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and, of these, two developed recurrence. With respect to survival, all patients were alive, four were alive and free of disease, two were alive with disease at the end point of study. CONCLUSION: Pseudomyxoma peritonei is commonly associated with borderline mucinous ovarian tumors, and is a frequently relapsing and protracted disease. But aggressive and repeated debulking surgery is recommended for long survival.

Diastematomyelia, a form of spinal dysraphism, is characterized by a division of the spinal cord or canda equina resulting the form a bony or cartilaginous spur which transfixes the neural elements and dura. The presence of a structure of neural crest origin in the subarachnoid space connecting the spicules suggested that the anomaly resulted from delayed closure of the neural tube and its investments. The cinical finding are presumed due to its restriction, tethering of the normal apward migration of the spinal cord. Congenital anomalies of one or both lower extremities and spine are frequently found with this condition. The surgical removal is recommended as a prophylactic measure against further progressive neurological damage. The purpose of this paper is to presented becanse it was associated with clubfoot and adds to understanding of teratogenesis of diastematomyelia.

Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, previously called bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma is a dominantly inherited disorcler and usually manifested by blisters at or shortly after birth. We report a case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in 9 year old girl vrho developed generalized erythema &: easily eroded vesicles at birth. Later the skin lesions progresed to characteristic thick, grayish-dark brown verruform cais, affecting predominantly flexural and intertriginous areas. Fiistologic findings show typical granular degeneration.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1986;24(2):225-231
We measured serum 1gE by using IgE 'Eiken' radioirnrnunoassay Kit and delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity responsiveness by the Multitest CMI Kit (Institut Merieux) that simultaneously administrates 7 standardized recall antigens(tetanus, diphtheria, streptococcus, tuberculin, candida, trichophyton, proteus) and 70% W/V glycerin diluent control by multiple prick puncture. We studied 40 cases comprising 20 patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and 20 healthy children as control. The results were obtained as follows; 1) The mean serum level of IgE in AD(63.3+/-395.2 1U/ml) was higher than in control(155.6+/-67.1IU/ml) (p<0.0l), but the intensity of reaction (IR) & rate of reaction (RR) in AD (l.34+/-1.06, 0.38+/-0.23) was not significantly decreased than in control (1.70+/-0.87,0.44+/-0.16). 2) 1n both AD & control group, tuberculin showed highest IR R RR. 3) Anergic state was found in only one patient with disseminated cutaneous lesions Sc 4) serum IgE, but rate of hypoergy was significantly increased in AD(65%) than in control (30%) (p<0.05). 4) Serum IgE was not statistically correlated with IR and RR, but IR was statistically correlated with RR (p<0.001, r=0.9504). 5) IgE level in severe AD (generalized skin lesion) was significantly increased than in both mild AD 8c control group (p<0. 001). but IR & RR were not statistically correlated with disease severity.

Vertigo mimicking labyrinthine lesions may have resulted from ischemic insult to the inner ear or the vestibular nerve and nucleus in the AICA infarction syndrome. A 56-year-old female was admitted to the emergency room with vertigo and hearing loss in right ear. On neurological examination, she had left beating jerky torsional and horizontal nystagmus with falling and past pointing to right side. Brain magnetic resonance images showed high signal intensity in anterolateral portion of inferior pons on T2- weighted images. Severe right facial palsy of peripheral type developed 24 hours after admission. Audiometry and electronystagmography documented absent auditory and vestibular function on the affected side. We argue that vertigo of the acute infarction in AICA territory can be involved the eight and seventh nerve root entry zoon and mimic labyrinthine lesions

BACKGROUND: Pityriasis versicolor(PV) is a superficial mycosis, theoretically unusual in children. Epidemiologic and clinical data for children with PV under 14 years were collected. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical features of PV in the young. METHOD: We included all cases of PV in patients under 14 years of age observed in our department from 1981 to 1995. All cases were diagnosed on the basis of clinical criteria and were confirmed by microscopic examination. RESULTS: From 1981 to 1995 we encountered 32 cases of PV in children, compared with 637 cases in adults; thus children represented 4.7% of all cases. The ratio of male to female was l. 7:1. Among the age groups, the incidence was the highest in the 10-14 years(43%). The monthly prevalence was the highest in August. Distribution of the lesions were the face(40.9%), neck (25%), chest(13.6%), back(11.3%), extremities(6.8%) and abdomen(2.2%). The incidence of hypopigmented lesions was 70.4% and that of hyperpigmented lesions was 29.6%. CONCLUSION: This study confirms that the face is a predilectionl site for PV in children and all facial lesions are hypopigmented. Other clinical features are variable and similar to those of adults.

PURPOSE: We compared the clinical manifestations of patients with tsutsugamushi disease between children and adults. METHODS: From January 2003 to December 2012, 768 patients diagnosed with tsutsugamushi disease were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and complications were compared between children and adults. RESULTS: No patterns of annual increases in the number of patients were noted in both children and adults. The higher incidences occurred in October and November respectively. By gender, male outnumbered female in children, but the opposite trend was seen in adults. By residential area, the urban distribution of children was higher than that of adults. Rashes (P=0.001) and eschar (P=0.004) were more common in children, while myalgia was more common in adults. Children had a high prevalence of anemia (P=0.041), and low incidence rates of thrombocytopenia, abnormal liver and renal function. Children yielded better results in the duration of their hospital stay and the incidence of complications (P<0.001). A comparison of the therapeutic effects of doxycycline and macrolide antibiotics, which was performed only on the children, did not reveal any significant differences. CONCLUSION: Compared to adults, children had higher incidence rates of male patients and more often suffered from rashes and eschar. Children yielded better results in the laboratory findings and duration of the hospital stay and complications. Therefore, when children are suspected to have tsutsugamushi disease, especially during its peak occurrence period, detailed physical examination and serological test should be performed to ensure a prompt diagnosis, and the use of macrolide antibiotics, which have fewer side effects, is expected to yield the same therapeutic effects.
