It is commonly assumed that nasorespiratory function can exert a dramatic effect upon the development of the dentofacial complex. Specially, it has been stated that chronic nasal obstruction leads to mouth breathing, which causes altered tongue and mandibular positions. If this occurs during a period of active growth, the outcome is development of the "adenoid facies". Such patients characteristically manifest a vertically long lower third facial height, narrow alar bases, lip incompetence, a long and narrow maxillary arch and a greater than normal mandibular plane angle. But several authors have reported that so-called adenoid facies is not always associated with adenoids and mouth breathing, and that a particular type of dentition is not always found in mouth breathers with or without adenoids. Some authors have believed adenoids lead to mouth breathing in cases with particular facial characteristics and types of dentition. We assumed that the ability to adapt to individual's neuromuscular complex is various. So, we compared the difference of influence of mouth breathing between childrens who have different facial types. This study included 60 patients and they were divided into three groups by Rickett's facial type. Their dentition and tongue position were compared. The results are as follows. 1. There is a significant difference in arch width of upper molars between different facial types. Especially dolichofacial type patients have narrowest arch width. 2. There is a significant difference in tongue position between different facial types. Especially dolichofacial type patients have lowest positioned tongue.

This study was made to investigate the effect of adenoidectomy on dentofacial skeleton in naso-respiratory dysfunction children. The clinical material compromised the 24 children in a previous study who had naso-respiratory dysfunction and 24 children who were the nasal breathing with normal occlusion. The cephalograms were taken at the initial examination and 1 year later for the control group and experimental group the paired sample statistical analysis was performed. The result were as follows. 1. In cranial base variable, difference between two groups were not statistically significant. 2. In craniofacial variable, experimental group showed brachyfacial pattern but control groups didn't show significant growth pattern. 3. In maxillary variables, experimental group showed flattening the palptal plane. 4. In mandibular variables, experimental group showed the decrease of mandibular plane angle and gonial angle. 5. In facial height variables, experimental group showed horizontal growth rotation.

Epidural hematoma (EDH) is relatively rare in newborn infants and frequently associated with instrumental deliveries or other complications during labor and delivery. Although surgical evacuation has been the most common therapy, many other procedures have been suggested. Although many epidural hematomas require surgical evacuation rather than non-surgical management, the conservatiob or aspiration of hematoma have been attempted. In the case of EDH associated with cephalhematoma, aspiration of cephalhematoma could be attempted because frequent features of these combination were communication between these hematoma. We report a case of successful nonsurgical management for epidural hematoma through the aspiration of accompanying cephalhematoma in a five-day-old newborn infant.

호흡곤란에 대한 적절한 대처는 의사로서 숙지하여야 할 가장 중요하고도 기본적인 개념 중의 하나이다. 상부 기도에 발생하는 여러 가지 임상적 상황은 흔히 흡기성 천명을 동반하는 호흡 곤란으로 나타나고, 이에 대해 흔히 기도 삽관이나, 기관절개술 등이 행해 지지만, 그 발생 원인에 대해서 감별점들을 숙지하지 않으면, 원발 질환에 대한 합리적인 치료 뿐만 아니라 응급상황에서 적절하게 기도를 확보하는 데에도 문제가 생길 수 있다. 후두 상부에 일어나는 기도폐쇄의 상황은 비강에서부터 인두와 성문 상부, 식도 입구부에 이르는 해부학적 위치에 발생하는 다양한 질환들에 의한다. 비강과 비인두에는 pyriform aperture stenosis, choanal atresia, lacrymal duct cyst, 또는 teratoma나 encephalocele과 같은 질환이 발생할 수 있다. 구강, 인두부에서는 다양한 종류의 안면골격의 이상이나 설거대증, 또는 설갑상선, 갑상설관낭종, 또는 유피종등이 설기저부에 발생하기도 하고, 흔한 이유로 심한 편도-아데노이드 비대가 심각한 호흡곤란을 일으키기도 한다. 특히 소아에서는 이물의 가능성도 항상 염두에 두어야한다 이와 같이 기도 협착의 위치에 따라서 임상적 표현 양상이 구별될 수 있고, 또 부위에 따라 다양한 질환이 감별되어야 하므로 발생 위치에 따른 각 질환의 이해가 적절한 기도의 관리를 위해서 필수적이다.

The management of failure of colonic graft or corrosive stricture with impaired colonic circulation continues to be a challenge to surgeons. We present four cases of complicated corrosive esophageal stricture, which were successfully treated using jejunal free graft. As the initial surgical treatment, three patients underwent colonic interposition, and one underwent Whipple's procedure due to panperitonitis. Ore patient underwent transposition of jejunal free patch graft, two underwent interposition of jejunal free graft, and one underwent esophagojejunocolojejunostomy using jejunal free graft. All patients did not show dysphagia after long term follow-up. Complex esophageal reconstruction with jejunal free graft was performed successfully and long term functional outcome was good.

구개열 및 구개근의 기능부전 등에 의한 인두문(velopharyngeal valve)의 폐쇄부전으로 인하여 발생하는 구개범인두부전증(velopharyngeal insufficiency)은 흔히 과비성으로 알려진 구음장애를 나타내는 병적현상으로 Von Langenbeck(1861)이 구개 외측 점막성 골막편을, Smith(1895) 와 Ganzer(1920)는 각각 구개 4-판 및 3-판 점막성 골막편을 이용한 수술적 치료법을 통하여 구음장애를 해결하여 주려하였고, 그외 인두후벽의 증대 및 언어보조기 등을 이용한 방법으로 구음장애를 해결하여 주려는 연구가 최근까지 활발하게 이루어지고 있으나 만족할 만한 성적을 거두지 못하고 있는 실정에 있다. 이에 저자들은 구개범인두부전증에 대한 수술적 치료후 증상의 호전정도를 관찰하고, 술후에도 증상의 호전을 보이지 않는 환자의 음성재활에 대한 향후 방향제시에 도움을 주고자 1987년 1월부터 1991년 1월까지 과비성을 주소로 본원 이비인후과에 내원하여 구개성형술을 시행받고 3개월 이상 추적 관찰이 가능하였던 14례의 환자를 분석한 결과 구개범인두부전에 대하여 1차 수술을 시행받은 14례중 5례(36%)에서 정상적인 구음이 가능하였으며 실패한 9례중 5례에 대하여는 재 수술을 시행하였으나 만족할 만한 음성회복을 거두지 못하여 그 원인과 저자들의 술식을 분석 검토함으로써 구개범인두부전증의 치료에 대한 보다 효율적인 방법을 모색하고자 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

After esophagectomy, the stomach is used most commonly for the method of reconstruction. However, the stomach may not be large enough to be reached the site of anastomosis when it is above the pharynx. We experienced a double primary cancer of the lower esophagus and the larynx. Total laryngectomy and total esophagectomy were done with cervical pharyngojejunogastrostomy for reconstruction. Free jejunal graft is interposed between the oropharyngeal stump and the stomach is pulled-up. We could restore the alimentary track without tension at the anastomotic site and obtain sufficient blood supply.

Background and Objectives : Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is the most common disorder in pediatric otolaryngology, which should be suspected as a possible cause of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In the past, most of the adenotonsillectomy were performed because of recurrent infection, but now OSAS is the most common indication in many centers. Materials and Method : A review of 1,945 adenotonsillectomy performed between 1990 and 1998 is presented. We classified into two categories of indication for adenotonsillectomy and analyzed changing trends of indication for adenotonsillectomy. Results : Although recurrent infection remains the predominant indication for surgery, there has been a rise in OSAS as a significant indication from 13.67% in 1990 to 24.26% in 1998. Conclusion : An increase has occurred in the percentage of adenotonsillectomy performed for OSAS due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. This trend promises to continue as physicians become increasingly aware of the prevalence and seriousness of adenotonsillar hypertrophy as a cause of sleep apnea.

Midline Granulcma(Malignant midline reticulosis) of upper respiratory tract was known as one of the fatal diseases that involve the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx, with progressive localized necrotizing inflammation and granuloma formation. The disease was first described in 1897 by McBride and after Stewart many clinical and histological studies have been done in 1933. But its etiology is still unclear and therapeutic methods are still under development. The authors carried out a clinical study of 15 cases which were diagnosed and treated as midline granuloma, including 7 cases which received combination radiation and steroid therapy from January 1964 to December 1980. The results are as follows: 1) Age and Sex distribution: 6 cases fell into the ages from 30 to 39 years: 13 cases (87%) were male and 2 cases (13%) were female. 2) Primary lesion sites were nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses area (8 cases: 53%), palatine tonsil (3 cases: 20%) and pharynx (2 cases: 13%) in order. 3) Common symptoms were nasal stuffiness and sore throat (6 cases: 40%), headache (5 cases: 33%), nasal discharge and facial edema (3 cases: 20%) in order. 4) Microorganisms were identified in 4 cases: staphylococcus in 2 cases, pseudomonas in 1 case and streptococcus in 1 case. 5) All 7 cases who received combination radiation and steroid therapy revealed complete regression and no recurrence. 6) Among the 5 cases, who received steroid and antibiotic therapy, 2 cases died and other 3 cases improved temporarily and then developed aggrevation of symptoms.
