기형부위의 구조적 복합성으로 인하여 부상이나 질병을 진단하거나 치료계획을 수립하는데 있어 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기형부위의 정량적 분석을 위한 시뮬레이션 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 본 시뮬레이션 시스템은 기형부위간 관계를 정의하고 정량적으로 분석하기 위하여 2차원 진단영상들을 공간적으로 구성하여 가시화하고 단일 객체 및 다중 객체의 이동, 회전, 확대/축소, 컬러링 등과 같은 조작기능을 제공하며, 기형부위의 길이, 체적, 각도 등의 측정치를 제공한다. 본 시뮬레이션 시스템은 사용자가 작업부하량을 줄이기 위하여 클라이언트-서버 구조로 이루어졌으며, 시스템간 사용되는 메시지 처리를 위한 메시지 제어기, 기형부위별 가시화와 조작을 위한 기형가시화 및 조작기, 기형 부위의 수치적 분석을 위한 정량적 분석기, 그리고 각종 환자 정보를 위한 영상 데이터베이스 관리기로 구성된다. 본 시뮬레이션 시스템은 기형부위의 효과적인 가시화와 조작 뿐 아니라 정량적 분석치를 제공함으로써 보다 정확한 기형분석에 많은 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 범용의 데스크탑 컴퓨터상에서 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 통하여 서버에 접속하여 시뮬레이션 시스템을 사용함으로써 보다 많은 사용자들이 동시에 사용할 수 있는 이점이 있다.

선천성 기형의 종류는 매우 다양하며 완치가 가능한 기형도 많다. 그러므로 선천성 기형이 있다고 무조건 자랑할 필요는 없으며 전문가의 상담이 필요하다. 감기약 한번 잘못 먹어서, 또는 임신인 줄 모르고 한번 찍은 가슴 X-선 사진으로 인공임신중절을 하는데 이는 고쳐져야 할 관행이다.

영산강 수계의 습지생태계 모니터링의 일환으로 4개 지역을 선정하여 황소개구리 205개체를 채집하여 이들의 외부기형 출현율 및 양상을 조사하고 그들의 체내 조직에 축적된 중금속 농도를 분석하였다. 황소개구리의 기형 출현율은 6.8%로 다른 척추동물에서의 자연발생률 3%보다 높았으며, 기형은 모두 앞 또는 뒷발갉에서 나타났다. 유형별로 보면 결손(Ectrodactyly)이 64.3%로 가장 많았고 다음으로 확장(Dilation)이 28.6%, 절단(Truncation) 7.1%의 순이었다. 정상과 기형 개체간에 중금속의 농도를 조직별로 비교해 본 결과 기형개체의 신장에서 Mn은 4배, Zn 은 1.5배, Cu은 7배, Pb는 8배, Cd는 7배 정도 높았다. 또한 기형 개체에서는 이들 원소의 조직분포 패턴도 변화한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들로부터 황소개구리는 습지생태계의 모니터링 시료로서 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Congenital malformation is observed in about 2-5% of newborns and is a leading cause of infant mortality. The prognosis of malformation is dictated mainly by proper treatment followed by correct diagnosis at an early age. In practice, etiological consideration and classification of a malformation is critical for diagnosis. Malformations can be classified as belonged to minor or major anomaly. It is clinically important to clarify the pathogenesis of the anomalies among malformation, deformation, disruption, and dysruption. Genetic counseling aids this process by helping patients or family members understand and the nature of the malformation and risk assessment.

Generally, patients who have airway compression with severe kyphoscoliosis can be improved through surgery for the thoracolumbar deformity. However, abnormal thoracic configuration due to severe kyphoscoliosis can cause respiratory distress secondary to severe compression of central airway in uncorrectable case. We tried to elevate the chest wall and obtained relatively good result in case of airway compression with abnormal thoracic configuration which was difficult to correct.

Deformed vertebrae by cold shock in Rhynchocypris oxycephalus were discovered. Deformity was externally noticed in the caudal penducle region of R. oxycephalus. Radiographic and histologic investigation confirmed the deformity. Especially, histological investigations provided the fact that extensive fusion between neighbouring vertebrae is caused by removal of endogeneous mineralized tissue. Deformed vertebrae appeared suggesting the direct evidence of vertebral fusion had arisen internally by cold shock in this species.

Intrathoracic teratoma is mainly found on the anterior mediastinum. For teratoma of the pleura, one case was described. We have presented what we believe to be the first report of a teraroma of the pleura, which was mainly composed of neuroglial cells and was accompanied with lymph node metastasis.

Background: Benign teratoma is mostly asymptomatic, but this tumor rarely ruptures into the adjacent structure such as the pleural space, pericardium, lung parenchyma or tracheobronchial tree. Thus, it is important to differentiate ruptured teratoma from unruptured teratoma. This study evaluated the difference between ruptured and unruptured benign teratoma. Material and Method: Twenty-four cases of surgically resected benign teratomas were reviewed retrospectively. The clinical symptoms, chest CT findings and operative findings of the ruptured teratoma were compared with those of the unruptured teratoma. Especially, the tumor size, wall thickness, location of the mass, internal septation, homogeneity, calcification and ancillary findings were evaluated on CT. Result: Of the 24 patients, 7 patients were diagnosed with ruptured teratoma. Severe symptoms were more commonly found for ruptured teratoma than for unruptured teratoma. The ruptured teratoma had a tendency to display calcification and such ancillary findings as collapse or consolidation of the lung parenchyma. For the ruptured teratoma, the resection was performed by sternotomy or thoracotomy, and more lung resection was included. Conclusion: Calcification within the mass and changes in the lung parenchyma on the preoperative CT findings can be diagnostic signs of a ruptured teratoma. The demonstration of ruptured teratoma is important not only for making the early diagnosis, but also for the surgical planning.

Purpose : Congenital urinary tract anomaly is the most common anomaly in the childhood and progress to chronic renal failure and growth retardation. Therefore, early diagnosis arid treatment of urinary tract anomaly are important. Method : We reviewed medical records of 124 patients who had urinary tract anomalies on radiologic studies from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1996. We analyzed demography and clinical characteristics of urinary tract anomalies. Results : 1) The age distributions were as follows ; 61 cases of 124 patients (49%) were under 1 year, 11 cases (8.8%) from 1 to 3 years, 20 cases (16%) from 4 to 6 years, 10 cases (8%) from 7 to 9 years, 9 cases (7.2%) from 10 to 12 years, 10 cases (8%) from 13 to 15 years, and 3 cases (2.4%) from 16 to 18 years. 2) Chief complaints in patients with urinary tract anomalies were fever, flank pain, prenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis, abdominal mass, dysuria and hematuria. 3) Of 124 patients, 68 cases(54.8%) were combined with urinary tract infection, and main causative organism was E.coli, and the most frequently associated anomaly was vesicoureteral reflux. 4) Most of the urinary tract anomalies were VUR, UPJ obstruction, congenital hydronephrosis and double ureter in order of sequence. 5) Whereas the frequency of simple urinary tract anomaly was 87.9%, that of complex anomaly was 12%. 6) Operative corrections were needed in 47 cases and 7 cases were progressed to renal insufficiency. Conclusion : We emphasize that early detection of urinary tract anomaly, appropriate treatment and regular follow-up are needed.
