A study was made on the two cases of congenital adrenogenital syndrome. Cliteroplasty wag performed on the two cases in addition to adrenalectomy in one case. Good results were obtained following the treatment.

We describe a case of cutaneous chylous reflux, which is thought to be a kind of primary lymphedema, in a 19-year-old male who had suffered from multiple vesiculobullae and intermittent swelling on scrotum for about 6 years. Histopathologic findings showed multiple dilated lymphatic vascular channels in papillary dermis.

Serum Lipoperoxide levels were studied in 50 normal Korean and in the following patients; 26 patients with diabetes mellitus, 20 patients with hypertension, 14 patients with ischemic heart disease, 8 patients with cerebrovascular accident and 6 patients with nephrotic syndrome. The results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. In normal Korean, the average serum lipoperoxide level was 2.62+/-0.27 nmoles M.D. A./ml, with no difference by the sex. 2. In the cases with various disease which in supposed to be related to abnormal lipid metabolism, that is, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, nephrotic syndrome, the serum lipoperoxide value showed statistically significant elevation compared to that of the normal control (p<0.01), but in the patients with cerebrovascular accident the elevation was not significant (p>0.05). 3. The serum lipoperoxide level was coarsely related with the serum concentration of cholesterol and total lipid, the correlation coefficient of which were 0.34 and 0.35 respectively (p<0.05).

Two cases of traumatic bilateral anterior and posterior dislocation of hip are reported. Dislocations were developed by a traffic accident as a passenger injury in truck. In both cases, the fractued femoral heads appeared posteriorly dislocated on x-ray examination and one of them was removed through posterior approach. Primary arthroplasty for operated hip was not attempted because the patient was young and the defect seemed to be unrelated to weight bearing surface. Extreme rarity of its incidence and curious uncertain mechanism of injury urge to report these cases.

Dislocation of peroneal tendons are caused by forceful domifiexion of the foot accompanied by a powerful contraction of the peroneal muscles. This mechanism of injury tears the superior pemneal retinaculum and allows the tendons to snap anteriorly. It is an important, although infrequent, cause of disability of the ankle. The acute injury can be treated by immobilization in a plaster cast, but when there is chronic recurring dislocation, surgical reconstruction is necessary. Authors experienced two cases of dislocation of pemneal tendons which were treated by use of Sarmiento's and Platzgummer's(modified) operative procedures with good results.
