Myasthenia gravis (MG) is occasionally associated with other autoimmune diseases. Alopecia areata has been reported to coincide with MG, particularly with thymoma. A 14-year-old woman was diagnosed as having MG. Seven months before diagnosed with MG, her hair and eyebrows had began to disappear and alopecia areata was diagnosed. We report this patient as a rare case of MG associated with alopecia areata without thymoma.

The clinical features and therapeutic results of alopecia areata are variable and unpredictable. For example, genetic, psychic, immunologic factors are regarded as the reason of alopecia areata. For the relationship between alopecia and whiplash injury, Dr. Guun explained that whiplash injury by the traffic accident produces cervical muscle spasm, and it makes autonomic nerve change. The tropical changes accompanied with ischemic change of scalp vessels made by this mechanism cause alopecia areata. And Yesudian reported the case of scalp alopecia as the result of ischemic change following traffic accident. We have experienced a 25-year-old woman with Alopecia areata following whiplash injury by traffic accident, and who had no risk factor of it. The patient was treated by acupuncture and physical treatment. Her hair loss, cervical angle and pain were improved through acupuncture treatment. This case of alopecia areata following whiplash injury is uncommon, so we report the mechanism of it, but should collect more cases and observations.

The purpose of this study is to report the research trends of Korean medicine treatment for alopecia areata. We investigated the studies on Korean medicine treatments for alopecia areata via searching 4 web databases of Korea. 13 papers were selected, and we classified them according to publication year, published journals, the types of study, research subject, the methods of treatment, confirmation of recurrence, methods of evaluation, and institutional review board(IRB). We analyzed a total of 13 clinical studies of Korean medicine on alopecia areata based on various criteria and reviewed the research trends. Based on this, we suggested points to be improved and supplemented when conducting clinical research on alopecia areata in the future. Clinical studies on alopecia areata started to be published in 2001, and acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicines, etc. were used as treatment methods for alopecia areata. Most of the clinical studies on alopecia areata were case studies, so it is thought that various types of clinical studies are needed. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the recurrence of alopecia areata and to improve the awareness of research ethics.

연구목적 정신신체의학의 발전으로 최근에는 모든 신체적 질환에 대해 생물정신사회적 접근을 추구하고 있다. 그 중 피부과 영역에서는 원형탈모증, 아토피 피부염, 발모벽, 인공 피부염, 다한증, 만성 담마진, 건선, 심상성 좌창 등의 질환과 정신과적 질환과의 연관성이 특히 강조되며, 정신 피부질환(Psychocutaneous disease)이라는 명칭이 사용되나 아직 이에 대한 연구가 미미하다. 청소년기는 2차 성징으로 인해 많은 피부 증상이 발생할 수 있으며, 이는 자아상 형성에 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로, 청소년의 피부질환에 대한 적절한 중재 및 치료의 중요성이 더욱 강조된다. 이에 저자들은 정신과 청소년 환자들의 피부과적 질환의 특성을 알아보기 위해 정신과에서 피부과로 자문 의뢰되는 청소년 환자들의 자문의뢰의 행태를 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 대학병원에서 정신과에 입원중인 청소년 환자 중 피부과에 의뢰된 22명의 환자와 타과에서 의뢰된 108명의 환자를 대상으로 연령별 및 성별 분포, 자문율, 이환된 피부질환, 자문이유를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과 정신과 입원 환자 중 피부과로 자문 의뢰된 환자들의 평균나이는 15.9세로 관찰되었으며, 남성과 여성의 비율은 1:1.44로 관찰되었다. 정신과에서 의뢰된 청소년 환자들의 진단의 경우 정신과적으로는 기분장애(59.1%), 피부과적으로는 여드름(40.9%)이 가장 많았다. 타과 청소년에 비해 정신과 청소년 환자의 피부과로의 자문율이 유의하게 높았고(11.8% vs. 1.5%), 환자의 요청에 의해 자문이 의뢰되는 비율도 높은 것으로 나타났다(49.9% vs. 16.7%). 결 론 다양한 정신병리적인 문제와 피부과적 질환이 연관되어 환자에게 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 피부과에서는 환자의 거부나 의사의 항정신약물 사용 시작에 불편감을 이유로 질환 치료가 지연될 수 있고, 정신과에서는 피부 문제를 경미한 증상으로 생각하여 간과할 수 있으므로, 두 과 간의 적절한 정보 교환 및 협진 체계를 마련하여 생물정신사회적 접근이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

목 적: SNL는 아시아 지역의 젊은 성인 여성에 호발하고 소아에서의 보고는 적다. 저자들은 소아 SNL의 임상 양상을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 1995년 2월부터 2002년 1월까지 노원을지병원에서 SNL로 진단된 15세 이하 소아 23례의 임상양상을 고찰하였다. 2례는 절제생검으로 진단하였고 21례는 세침흡인으로 진단하였다. 결 과 : 평균 연령은 $8.1{\pm}3.8$세였고 범위는 14개월에서 14세였다. 남녀비는 1 : 1.6이었다. 10례(10/23)가 2000년에 진단되었다. 증세의 발현은 봄철인 경우가 많았다. 주된 임상 증세는 경부 종괴(22/23), 종괴동통(12/20), 발열(8/18)이었다. 발열 기간은 7례(7/8)에서 2주 미만이었고 림프절 종대 기간은 14례(14/15)에서 5개월 미만이었다. 백혈구 수치의 평균은 $7,664{\pm}3,454/mm^3$였다. ESR은 10례(10/12)에서 증가되어 있었고 LDH는 5례(5/6)에서 경도의 증가 소견이 있었다. CRP는 3례(3/4)에서 양성이었다. 방사선학적으로 측정한 림프절의 최대 직경은 14례(14/15)에서 2 cm이하였다. 원형 탈모증 환아에서 발생한 1례와 1형 당뇨병 환아에서 발생한 1례가 있었다. 전례에서 경과는 양호하였다. 결 론: SNL는 우리나라의 소아에서 드물지 않다고 생각되며 경부 림프절 종대를 주소로 내원하는 환아에서 발열이나 종괴동통의 유무에 상관없이 감별진단에 포함되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
