Intracranial tuberculomas have been reported occasionally, especially in Asia, though much decreased in recentyears. Those lesions can be diagnosed more easily and acurately using CT than conventional method, including angiography. Authors analysed CT findings of 21 cases, confirmed as tuberculoma, at Hanyang University Hospital from May 1979 to June 1983. The resuslts were as follows; 1. Of all 21 cases, multiple lesions were seen in 14 cases (67%) and single in 7(33%). 2. Of all 21 cases, lesions located only at supratentorial were in 19 cases(90%) and remained 2(10%) had lesions at both supra and infratentorial area. And temporal and parietal lobes were common location (65%) of all lesions. 3. In precontrast scan, density of tuberculoma showed largely isodense (68%)and others were slight high (29%) and low(3%). 4. All lesions were enhanced showed as homogeneous nodular (68%),ring-shaped(29%) and target shaped(3%). 5. All rings were continuous and thickness was largely uniform(67%), anddensity of center of the ring was mainly low(67%). 6. Edema was seen in 58% of all lesions: comparing with thesize of tuberculoma, edema size was smaller in 50%, lager in 33% and almost the same in 17%.

Twin pregnancies represent a high risk obstetric population with perinatal morbidity and mortality much greater than that of singleton pregnancies. A retrospective dinical evaluation was attempted to analyse 211 cases of twin pregnancies in Chunchon Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University from Jan. l. 1988 to Dec. 31. 1997. The results were as follows. 1) The incidence of twin pregnancy was 1 in 93.9 deliveries. 2) The age of mother ranged from 19 to 42 years and predominant age group was 26-30 which covers 43.1% of all. 3) Nullipara was 61.1% and multipara was 38.9%. 4) The predominant gestational age group at delivery was 36-37 weeks, 33.2%. 5) In presentation, both cephalic combination was 46.4%, cephalic-breech was 26.1%. 6) The birth weight was less than 2500gm in 64.9% of the 1st babies and 70.6% of the 2nd babies, respectively. 7) The rate of cesarean section was 89.0%. The indications of cesarean section were malpresention (48.9%), elective cesarean section(38.8%), and toxemia(9.0%). 8) In 23 cases of vaginal delivery, the average duration of labor was 7.0 hours and 43.5% of 2nd baby was delivered within 5 min after 1st baby delivery, 9) The most frequent maternal complications during pregnancy were anemia(36.0%), preterm labor(34.6%) and preeclamsia(17.5%). 10) The perinatal mortality rate of the first and second twins was 10.4% and 12.3%, respectively. The main causes of perinatal death were prematurity(52.1%) and stillborn(22.9%). 11) Both female was 43.6%, both male was 39.3%, and opposite sex was 17.1% in infant.

BACKGROUND: Data regarding the incidence rates of skin diseases that are held by general hospitals provide readily available sources of information that may be representative of the provinces they serve. The population of Goyang city has increased rapidly. Hence, a statistical study of the latest data is necessary. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence rates of common dermatoses in Goyang city and to compare these with previous findings. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 21,693 outpatients who visited the Department of Dermatology at Myongji Hospital from 2009 to 2013, and we statistically analyzed the findings. RESULTS: Of the 21,693 outpatients' records reviewed, 9,939 (45.8%) were male patients and 11,754 (54.2%) were female patients. Patients most frequently presented with dermatoses in the fourth decade of life (16.0%), followed by the first (15.2%), fifth (15.0%), and third (13.1%) decades of life, and these four age groups comprised 59.3% of the total number of outpatients. The 15 most common dermatoses were dermatophytoses, alopecia, other eczematous conditions, urticaria, herpes zoster infections, viral warts, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, acne, irritant contact dermatitis, benign epidermal tumors, melanocytic nevi, molluscum contagiosum, and pruritus. Diseases that occurred frequently during the summer were dermatophytoses, urticaria, irritant contact dermatitis, herpes zoster infections, and molluscum contagiosum. Diseases that occurred frequently during the winter were other eczematous conditions, atopic dermatitis, and melanocytic nevi. Viral warts and acne occurred frequently in summer and winter. Seborrheic dermatitis, dermatophytoses, molluscum contagiosum, viral warts, alopecia, and benign epidermal tumors showed higher frequencies in males than in females, whereas allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, herpes zoster infections, melanocytic nevi, urticaria, pruritus, acne, and other eczematous conditions showed higher frequencies in females than in males. CONCLUSION: Compared with previous studies, the current population of Goyang city showed higher levels of herpes zoster infections and viral warts.
