Rhabdomyoma has been reported to be the most common type of cardiac tumors in fetuses and children, and multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas almost certainly signify the association with tuberous sclerosis. We report here on a case of Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) that was associated with multiple rhabdomyomas and tuberous sclerosis. A two-year-old boy, who had undergone systemic-pulmonary shunt during the neonatal period, received total correction of his ToF after the complete regression of the cardiac tumor. The postoperative course was uneventful, and he has been follow-up for 2 months. The boy is currently in an excellent condition.

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula(CCSF) is an abnormal arterio-venous communication between the cavernous sinus and the internal carotid artery. It is usually caused by craniofacial trauma and a very rarely encountered complication, but it may also occur spontaneously. The most common cause of traumatic CCSF is blunt trauma, which usually associated with a skull base, frontal or midfacial fracture. The common clinical feature of CCSF are orbital bruit, headache, exophthalmos, chemosis, diplopia, visual disturbance and others. This dramatic ocular-orbital symptoms are principally due to orbital venous hypertension. The symptoms occured within a few hours to a maximum of a year after injury, usually within several weeks. The patient, 33-year-old female, developed a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula after only minimal closed trauma We present a rare case of CCSF associated facial bone fracture that was successfully treated by detachable balloon embolization with a review of the literature.

일반적으로 견관절의 전방안정력은 하관절와상완인대에서 주역할을 하며, 불안정성으로 인한 병변은 관절순과 골관절와사이의 분리(Bankart lesion)로 나타난다고 한다. 중관절와상완인대는 특히 중등도의 외전위치에서 견관절의 전방안정성에 중요한 역할을 하는 정적 안정물로써, 다른 관절와상완인대의 동반손상없이 단독으로 파열된 례는 문헌고찰상 보고된 바가 없었다. 본 증례의 경우 특별한 외상력없이 내원 1년전부터 우측 견관절의 전방 불안정성과 동통성운동제한의 소견을 보였으며 상기 증상은 3개월 전부터 점차 악화되었다. 관절경 소견상 관절와순 부착부위에서 파열된 중관절와상완인대를 확인할 수 있었으며 동반된 관절와순의 부분파열 및 관절와관절면의 미란을 확인할 수 있었다. 파열된 중관절와상완인대와 비후된 활막을 변연절제 후 8개월 정도의 단계적 재활운동을 시행하였으며 동통과 관절운동의 회복소견을 볼 수 있었다. 본저자들은 관절경검사상 중관절와상완인대의 단독파열소견을 보인 39세의 여교사를 치료하였으며 그 결과를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

We experienced a case of anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta associated with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, absence of left pulmonary artery afld multiple major aortopulmonary collateral artery (MAPCA). At ten month of age, left pulmonary artery creation with unifocalization and right pulmonary artery banding were performed as the Urst stage, followed by coil embolization of right MAPCA 1 month later, and 1 year later, the total correction was done. After total repair, the patient showed good postoperative course and excellent angiographic and hemodynamic results at 1 year follow-up study.

Pleural effusion represents a rare complication of acute hepatitis A infection. Twelve year-old girl was admitted with complaints of general weakness, nausea and icteric sclerae. She also complained of right chest pain. Right decubitus view of chest radiograph showed pleural fluid accumulation. Laboratory findings were as follows: AST/ALT 1692/1970 IU/L, total/direct bilirubin 4.48/3.66 mg/dL and HA IgM Ab (+). On the seventh day of hospitalization, her general condition was much improved and chest radiography showed resolved pleural effusion.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome presents with multisystemic patterns of congenital anomalies and macrosomia. This syndrome was independently described by Beckwith in 1963 and by Wiedemann in 1964. There is wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, including prenatal or postnatal overgrowth, neonatal hypoglycemia, macroglossia, visceromegaly, omphalocele, hemihypertrophy and a predisposition for embryonal tumors, most frequently Wilms' tumor. We managed a case of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome with left adrenal cortical neoplasm of undetermined malignancy.

선천성 후두열은 매우 드문 선천성 기형으로 신생아에게 심각한 호흡곤란 및 수유장애를 초래할 수 있다. 해부학적 결손정도와 관련된 기형에 따라 다양한 증상이 나타난다. 가장 흔한 특징적 증상으로는 흡기시 천명, 간헐적으로 나타나는 수유시 호홉곤란을 들 수 있다. 이 증상들은 후두연화증, 성대마비, 후비공폐색 둥과 같은 다른 선천성 기형에서도 나타나기 때문에 미리 의심하지 못하면 진단이 어렵다. 따라서 진단을 위해서는 세심한 주의와 정확한 내시경 검사가 필요하다. 저자들은 선천성 후두열 2례를 경험하였다. 첫 증례는 제 II형이었고 두번째는 III형이었으며, 두 증례 모두 전방 후두열 접근법으로 치료하였다. 제 III형 환아는 술전 흡기시 천명을 동반한 호흡곤란과 여러번의 흡인성 폐렴을 겪었으며 술후 캐놀라발거는 가능하였으나 경구를 통한 수유시 흡인을 동반하여 현재까지 위루술을 통해 음식을 섭취하고 있는 상태이다. 저자들은 최근 경험한 선천성 후두열 2례를 video presentation과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

견갑하근 파열의 손상과 치료방식이 발전하면서 견갑하근의 중요성이 더욱 대두되었고 이에 견갑하근의 파열양상, 봉합방법 그리고 후상방 회전근 개 파열과의 관련성 등이 여러 저자들에 의해서 연구 되고 있다. 즉, 이전까지 관심의 대상에서 제외 되었던 견갑하근의 부분파열이 점차적으로 회전근 개 파열의 중요한 역할을 하며 상완 이두건초염과 오구상완 인대의 내측활차의 손상이 이러한 부분파열의 원인을 제공할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 견갑하근 파열에 대한 정확한 원인 인자는 아직 불투명하다. 이에 본 교실에서는 견갑하근 파열의 치료와 견갑하근 파열과 동반 손상된 상완 이두건 손상및 탈구 등을 치료하고 이에 대해 문헌 고찰과 함께 손상 종류에 따른 치료방법을 살펴보고 이에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Objectives : Delirium is one of the most common mental illnesses that can affect cognitive function. Melatonin has been shown to be effective in the treatment of insomnia, and recent studies have shown a protective effect to prevent delirium. This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of melatonin in delirium patients. Methods : All patients were referred to psychiatric department for insomnia and symptoms of delirium, and were diagnosed delirium by the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. We compared base line severity of delirium with K-DRS-R-98-R (Korean version of Delirium Rating Scale revised 98) and after taking 2mg of melatonin, retrospectively. The side effects were also identified by referring to the medical records. Results : A total 21 patients had taken melatonin for insomnia and delirious symptoms. The K-DRS-R-98 scores were decreased from $15.24{\pm}2.64$ before treatment to $6.57{\pm}5.42$ after treatment. And CGI-S scores were also decreased from $4.14{\pm}0.48$ before treatment to $2.81{\pm}0.93$ after treatment (p<0.05). Conclusions : This study illustrates the possibility of melatonin as an effective treatment option for delirious symptoms such as disorientation, motor agitation, lability of affect and hallucinations as well as insomnia, with less concerns of drug side effect. Further study with a larger sample and prospective design will be required to confirm these results.

Purpose: To validate and introduce the technique of the arthroscopic repair for the treatment of the Subscapulris tendon tear. Materials and Methods: From April 2003 to April 2004, Arthroscopic repairs were performed in 8 patient with subscapularis tendon tear. The mean follow-up period was 11months. two cases involved only subscaplaris tendon tear. Four cases were associated small sized posterosuperir. rotator cuff tear and two cases were in large size. The type of subscapularis tendon showed upper portion full-thickness tear in 6 cases, partial-thickness tear localized at articular surface in 1 case, complete tear in 1 case. The results were analyzed by using subjective satisfaction, inferior movenent of superior displaced humeral head, Constant-Murley functional scoring Results: Constant-Murley scoring was improved from 55 point preoperatively to 75 point postoperatively following 11 months. Mean score was 71 point except 2 cases of large superoposterior rotator cuff tear, Most humeral heads were distaracted postoperatively. The subjective result for the 8 shoulders were very satisfying in 5 cases, satisfying in 1 case and dissatisfying in 2 cases. Therefore satisfactory results were noted in 6 cases (75%) of this overall treatment group. Conclusion: The arthroscopic repair for the subscapularis tendon tear is thought to be available method, which could reduce severe complications following the weakness of deltoid muscle and postoperative pain. Especially Partial Subscapularis tear not associated with superoposterior rotator cuff tear including PASTA lesion was the sutable indication of the Arthroscopic repair.
