Kawasaki disease is generally diagnosed base on its clinical features. Sometimes unusual or atypical presentations make the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease difficult. We experienced an unusual case of Kawasaki disease presented with unilateral parotitis in a 23-month old girl. Despite of intravenous antibiotics treatment, fever and unilateral parotid swelling persisted. Skin rashes, conjunctival injections, and coronary abnormalities showed up on the 8th day of fever. After the intravenous immunoglobulin and salicylates treatment, all symptoms disappeared. Although unilateral parotitis is very unusual presentation of Kawasaki disease, in case of no response to antibiotics, Kawasaki disease should be included in the differential diagnosis.

2.Giant Serpentine Aneurysm of the Anterior Communicating Artery: Case Report.
Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 1998;27(2):251-257
Giant serpentine aneurysm(GSA) is a giant aneurysm containing a serpentine channel which enters and exits at separate sites and is continuous with the parent vessel. This 33-year-old man with a two-year history of frontal headache presented with bitemporal hemianopsia three months before admission. Suprasellar mass of computed tomography revealed a giant(3X2.5X2cm) mixed density, mimicking a brain tumor. Cerebral magnetic resonance images showed a flow void within the mass, and this was consistent with the serpentine vascular channel demonstrated by angiography. The aneurysm was revealed by surgery involving the frontobasal interhemispheric approach, left A1 & A2 were clipped and the mass of the aneurysm was removed in toto an aneurysmorrhaphy was constructed, and to preserve the distal blood flow to the left A2, the patient made an unevenful recovery.

The hereditary multiple osteochondromatosis is a hereditary disorder characterized by gradual development of numerous osteocartilagenous masses from the metaphyseal region of long bones. The abnormality is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait and its etiology is unknown but many theories of pathogenesis have been advanced. Four members of a family with hereditary multiple osteochondromatosis who are much shorter in height are presented with a brief review of literatures.

Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis(HNL), also known as Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease(KFD) is a disease which mainly invades cervical lymph node without any particular reason. Lymphadenopathy can be unilaterally or bilaterally with mild pain and be accompanied with high fever, malaise and skin rashes. At times it shows hepatosplenomegaly, leukopenia and lymphatic cyst. These symptoms will be gone spontaneously without any specific treatments in several weeks or months, so the prognosis is comparatively satisfactory. It is confirmed only by excisional biopsy and must be differentiated from other diseases such as lymphoma, inflammatory and granulomatous lymphadenopathy, etc. Authors report the clinicopathologic findings of 4 cases of HNL with a review of literature.

Bullous pemphigoid(BP) is a bullous disease in elderly people characterized by subepidermal bullae on erythematous and normal skin. Peripheral blood easinophilia have been reported in the patients with BP, and blood eosinophilia may be related to disease activity and severity in BP. We report a 70-year old man BP. He showed peripheral blood eosinophilia, and was treated successfully with a combination of low dose steroids & tetracycline-niacinamide(T-N) therapy. The eosinophil counts fell to normal levels as the skin lesion cleared.

Adirect intracranial operative approach with clipping the neck of the aneurysm is generally considered to be the ideal treatment for the intracranial arterial aneurysms. Several strategies exist for treating unclippable aneurysms. Intravascular techniques, proximal occlusion of the parent artery or trapping of the aneurysm, microsurgical bypass of the involved arterial segment, and reinforcement or wrapping of the aneurysmal wall are frequently used. The authors report a case with long term(6 years) follow-up results of the circumferential wrapping with sutures-reinforcement for giant fusiform aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. The giant fusiform aneurysm and ideal wrapping materials were discussed with review of literature.

Benign Schwannoma rarely involves the vertebral bodies extensively. Despite of huge amount of neoplastic mass and severe destructive bony changes, the neurologic deficits could not be discovered. The authors discussed the findings of plain X-rays, cervical CT, MRI, pathology as well as surgical procedure, and reviewed the literatures.

An association between drug treatment for viral infections and severe cutaneous adverse reactions has been noted. We investigated six patients diagnosed with Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) after being prescribed acetaminophen for suspected viral illnesses. Multiplex analysis was performed to measure cytokine levels in sera before and after treatment. IL-2Rα levels significantly decreased during the convalescence phase. Although acetaminophen is relatively safe, the drug can trigger SJS/TEN in patients with suspected viral infections. T-cells and monocytes may be key components of the link between viral infection and acetaminophen-induced SJS/TEN.
