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.

3 cases of giant cell tumor in the distal femur or upper tibia were treated by curettage and acrylic cement packing between October 1978 and May 1981. All were females. The postoperative courses were satisfactory with no recurrence or malignant change for periods of 16 months to 30 months. In one case, acrylic cement reinforced with tantalum wire was used because it is superior to acrylic cement alone in mechanical properties. The adventages of this method are: 1. The cautery effect of setting cement. 2. Avoidence of the need for large quantities of cancellous bone 3. The possibility of incorporating a prosthesis if the lesion is extensive. 4. Rapid mobilization. 5. Ease of early diagnosis of recurrence.

In performance of total hip replacement in the cases of acetabular deficiency, a few authors suggest cement inforcement with screws fixation or bone graft with resected femoral head for repair of it. In our cases another problem was loss of femoral head with acetabular deficiency, therefore resected femoral head could not be used. Our solution to this problem is to use the ilium, as a bone graft and to attach it to the acetabular wall to provide bone stock for the reconstruction. In six hips followed for over one year, all grafts appeared to be united and none showed evidence of resorption. All hips are functionally good and no case shows loosening.

Darier disease is a rare genodermatosis clinically characterized by multiple hyperkeratotic papules and plaques predominantly on seborrheic areas. It has characteristic histopathological features; corps-ronds, grains, suprabasal clefts or lacunae, villi projections etc. We present a case of Darier disease in a 36-year-old woman. She had suffered from skin lesions which bore a great resemblance to those of verruca plana or eruptive syringoma. We could confirm the diagnosis as Darier disease because she had the characteristic nail changes.

The anterior middle fossa is the most common location of benign intracranial arachnoid cysts. In the adult, headache, temporal bulging, and mild proptosis are the usual presenting complaints, although seizures and contralateral weakness have been described. Bitemporal hemianopsia associated with this lesion has not been noted previously. Herein we describe the patient with bitemporal hemianopsia associated with sylvian fissure arachnoid cyst. Cystoperitoneal shunt was beneficial. The etiology, histology, and suggested therapy of other patient with arachnooid cyst are also discussed.
