A 8 months old, female domestic Shorthair cat with long-term signalment of anorexia, lacrimation, uveitis and coughing was submitted to the Pathology and Diagnosis Reference Division, NVRQS, Korea, for necropsy. Main gross lesions were characterized by ascities, some grayish-white nodular formation and fibrous adhesion on the surface of visceral organs including liver and kidney. Principle histopathological findings were fibrinous serositis, multifocal granuloma and necrosis, vasculitis, perivasculitis in various pharenchymal organs. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections taken from most of organs with granulomatous lesions were confirmed specific reaction to the monoclonal antibody of feline infectious peritonitis virus in the cytoplasm of many infiltrating macrophages by immunohistochemistry. The report was to describe the pathological lesions of the first naturally-occuring FIP case in companion cat of Korea.

We had expierienced pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis(LAM) with bilateral chylothorax and chylous ascites. A twenty-one-year-old lass with chief complaint of abdominal pain was admitted through the emergency room. She received emergent pelvicoscopic surgery for the rupture of the right corpus luteum. We aspirated 1000ml of the uncoagulated blood. The bleeding point was cautherized electrically. LAM was diagnosed with tissue from the retroperitoneum. Chylous ascites and bilateral chylothorax were occurred despite of various treatments. On thoracotomy, bullous changed lung and lymphatic leakage from visceral and parietal pleura were observed. She died of respiratory insufficiency and general weakness after 6 months from admission.

Two cases of vaginal injury due to coitus are presented. One is the case of the laceration of mid-portion of posterior vaginal wall with shock and the other one is the laceration of posterior vaginal fornix and pelvic peritoneum. They are all in multiparity. And a review of literature on vaginal injury due to coitus is made briefly.

A 5 kg, seven-month-old, female Pekingese dog was presented to Seoul National University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital with the history of anorexia and exercise intolerance. Muffled cardiac sound and mild abdominal pain were detected in the physical examination. In positive contrast peritoneography, contrast medium was observed in enlarged pericardial sac through the diaphragm. According to the history taking, physical examination and contrast radiographic study, the dog was diagnaosed congenital peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia. Following midline celiotomy, herniated falciform ligament and greater omentum were repositioned to abdrminal cavity. The diaphragmatic defect was closed with absorbable suture. Clinical signs related to peritoneopericardial hernia disappeared immediately after surgical treatment. There had been no evidence of recurrence of the peritoneopericardial hernia for 1 year.

Chyloperitoneum or chylous ascite after trauma is a rare condition. It can develop after direct injuries of lymphatic vessels or cisterna chyli. Though isolated chyle duct injury has sometimes been reported, chyloperitoneum is generally accompanied by various kinds of damage to other intraabdominal organs. There's still no established therapeutic protocol regarding the treatment of chyloperitoneum when it is accompanied by the serious injuries of intraabdominal organs. We describe a 66-year-old male with serious intraabdominal organ injuries after blunt trauma. In our case, chyloperitoneum developed due to the injuries to the mesenteric lymph vessels and compression of cisterna chyli by hematoma around aorta.

A 2.5 kg, three-month-old. intact male Shih-tzu was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Kyungpook National University to examine the postoperative inflammation and suspected diaphragmatic defect which had been found during the surgical correction of umbilical hernia by the referral veterinarian. An umbilical hernia had been surgically repaired one month earlier at the time. Radiographic findings were enlarged cardiac silhouette containing soft tissue and gas densities and overlapping of cardiac and diaphragmatic borders. Ultrasonographic findings revealed the discontinuity of the diaphragm and the partial herniation of the liver into the pericardial sac. According to these findings, it was diagnosed as congenital peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia(PPDH). Because the dog showed no serious clinical signs of PPDH and the owner didn't want a surgery to correct it, the dog was discharged the day of the examination after treatment of the inflammatory surgical site. On the follow-up after three months, the dog showed no distinct clinical signs of PPDH and was in good physical condition.

Meconium peritonitis is a primarily aseptic, chemical peritonitis caused by the spill of meconium into the abdominal cavity through an intestinal perforation during the intrauterine or perinatal period. The perforation is known to be related to intrauterine vascular compromise. Recently, the authors experienced 4 cases of ileal atresia complicated by meconium peritonitis. The male to female sex ratio was 1 : 3, and age at operation was 1 day(2 cases), 3 days(2 cases). Three cases had generalized peritonitis, and one the cystic type of meconium peritonitis. The types of ileal atresia were IIIa(2 cases), IIIb(1 case), and II(1 case). The proximal blind ileal end was perforated in 3 cases, and distal end perforation was in 1 case of cystic type. Postoperative recovery was excellent in all cases.

위암의 진단에서 CT스캔은 수술 전 병기결정이나 수술 후 추적검사에서 필수적인 검사방법으로 인정을 받고 있고, 보편적으로 가장 많이 유용되고 있다. 그러나 나선식 CT를 사용하고 여러 가지 스캔방법의 개선에도 불구하고, 인접장기로의 직접침윤, 작은 크기의 간전이의 발견, 정상 크기범위의 림프절에서 전이의 발견, 양성 림프절과 전이의 감별, 복막전이에 대한 평가에서 지금까지의 보고들은 만족스러운 결과를 얻지 못하고 있으며 CT의 한계점으로 남아 있다. 그러나 최근에는 나선식 CT보다 더 빠른 시간내 더 얇은 두께의 절편을 얻을 수 있고, 이를 이용하여 관상면 및 시상면으로 정밀하게 재구성하거나 3D영상을 얻을 수 있는 다검출식 나선식 CT가 개발되어 사용되고 있고, CT 진단의 정확도를 높일 것으로 기대한다.

Tubercular peritonitis become ill suddenly or insidiously. Common clinical symptom is an abdominal pain which is spread out to all abdomen or extention of abdomen by a localized pain and ascites. Besides, there is fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and general whole body sign by tuburclosis. We watched a tubercular peritonitis patient which is a woman in poor health after childbirth and investigated treatment process, every disease after childbirth and tubercular peritonitis. We treated her with Herb-Medicine for 30 days according to chief symptom's changes. The patient improved in clinical symptoms.

We experienced one case of surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm using retroperitoneal approach. The transperitoneal route has been the standard surgical approach for elective and emergency treatment of aneurysmal or occlusive disease. Among its cited advantages for aortic reconstruction are familarity with the exposure, easy access to the infrarenal aorta and iliac vessels, possibility of simultaneous inspection of the intra-abdominal viscera, and speed of opening and closure.Despite the proved versatility of the transperitoneal approach, it is commonly associated with prolonged ileus, increased third space fluid loss, and significant pulmonary complications. The retroperitoneal approach, on the other hand, has many advantages; excellent exposure for the repair of juxtarenal or suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms and visceral vessel occlusive disease, fewer postoperative complications, decreased postoperative third-space fluid losses from intraoperative evaporation and ileus, and improved postoperative pulmonary function. Atherosclerosis was most common cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Dacron graft[18mm] was replaced successfully.Postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged in good condition.
