Cardiac CT is the most accurate tool for diagnosing and evaluating coronary artery anomalies. Coronary anomalies can often be observed as the number of cardiac CT scans increases. In this review article, we described the CT findings and clinical significance of coronary anomalies that radiologists should know. In particular, we described the dangerous anatomical findings of coronary anomalies on CT images in detail.

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.

기형부위의 구조적 복잡성으로 인하여 부상이나 질병을 진단하거나 수술계획을 수립하는데 있어 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 기반 기형분석 영상처리시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 본 시스템은 기형부위를 구성하는 뼈간의 관계를 정의하고 기형 정도를 파악하기 위하여 일련의 2차원 진단 영상들을 공간적으로 구성하고 입체적 영상을 생성한 후, 객체별 모델링 및 렌더링을 가능하게 하며, 이동, 회전, 확대/축소, 컬러링과 같은 다양한 조작 기능을 제공한다. 본 개발 시스템은 클라이언트-서버 구조로 이루어졌으며, 시스템 간 사용되는 메시지 처리를 위한 진단 제어 관리기, 기형부위 영상별 가시화 및 조작을 위한 단면 및 입체 영상처리기, 원격 사용을 위한 통신망 제어기, 그리고 각종 환자 정보를 위한 데이터베이스 관리기로 구성된다. 또한 범용의 데스크탑 컴퓨터 상에서 사용자 인퍼테이스를 통하여 서버에 접속하여 영상처리시스템을 사용함으로서 보다 많은 사용자들이 동시에 사용할 수 있는 이점이 있다.

최근 원전주변지역을 중심으로 한 기형가축이 발생함에 따라 이의 원인을 규명하기 위하여 우선 역학적 조사와 혈청학적 검사 및 기형송아지 , 유산·사산 태아 등의 수집가 검물을 중심으로 하여 병리학적 검사를 실시하였다. 원전주변 기형우 발생농가의 역학적 조사와 모우의 임상적 소견에서는 하동의 이상을 관찰할 수 없었다 . 수집된 가검물 (울진원전주변지역 : 3두, 월성원전주변지역 : 3두, 고리원전주변지역 : 3두, 기타지역 2두) 총 11개 농가 11두에 대한 병리학적 검사와 모우 및 자우의 혈청학적 검사에서 9두가 Akabane 병으로 진단되었고, 나머지 2 두는 곰팡이감염증 1두 그리고 간경화 l 두로 판정되었다. Akabane virus에 감염된 9두는 기형송아지, 유·사산태아로서 사지기형, 척추만곡 및 중추신경계이상(대뇌결손, 뇌수두증)등이 관찰되었다. (중략)

The fourth instar larvae of C. riparius were treated with potential endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs) such as bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-nonylphenol and the effects of morphological abnormalities were observed. The deformities of the mentum following exposure to EDCs showed the smooth tooth, the loss of tooth and deformed tooth. The incidence rates of the mentum deformity were associated with chemicals: BPA $31{\sim}90%$, and 4-nonlyphenol was $40{\sim}80%$. As the concentration of BPA increased, the incidence of deformed mentum was dose dependent. While the incidences of deformed mentum following exposure to 4-nonlyphenol was not associated with their concentrations. The deformed MLT observed smooth or round tooth and the deformity of LT showed loss of one or more than tooth. Also, the MIX type was usually smooth or loss tooth. The abundance of deformity type for the mentum showed MIX (MLT+LT) > LT (lateral teeth) > MLT (median lateral teeth).

CCAM with no other anomalies such as sequestration receives its blood supply from the pulmonary artery. Our case presented with a simple CCAM and no other anomalies but with a feeding artery. Although preoperative evaluation may not show feeding arteries, they may exist in congenital cystic lung diseases.

The DiGeorge syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality consisting of aplasia or hypoplasia of the thymus and parathyroid glands resulting from malformation of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches. This syndrome usually includes congenital cardiac anomalies and abnormal facial features. We experienced a case of congenital cardiac anomaly associated with DiGeorge syndrome. The patient was 1 month old boy weighing 3.5 kg. The congenital cardiac anomalies included ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, coactation of aorta, and patent ductus arteriosus. We performed one-stage operation with two separate incisions for these cardiac anomalies. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient at 6 months of follow up is doing well.

Chiari type 1 malformation is a developmental condition characterized by cerebellar herniation and syringohydromyelia in human beings. It has been reported as a common condition in the cavalier King Charles spaniel that is similar to human Chiari type 1 malformations. However, there are few documentations of diagnosed Chiari type 1 like malformation in other breed dogs. Abnormalities compatible with such a malformation were identified by magnetic resonance imaging in 24 dogs with neurologic signs in this study. The dogs were 15 females and 9 males. Their breed were variable, and 6 of the dogs were maltese, 5 were shih-tzu. The dogs had a variety of neurological signs and the severity of cerebellar herniation, syringohydromyelia, intracranial intra-arachnoid cyst or hydrocephalus.

Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are common intracranial vascular malformations and they are generally do not cause clinical complications. In cases showing DVA and hemorrhage, the hemorrhage is usually associated with adjacent cavernous malformations. Very few cases of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) caused by thrombosis in DVA have been reported in the literature. In this case report, we present an interesting case of a large ICH caused by thrombosis within a DVA with an unusual structure that may have potentiated the thrombosis.
