  • To prospectively determine the diagnostic performance a combination of standard bolus-chase magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and MR angiography with time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics (TRICKS) for depicting severity of the head and neck vascular diseases. Over a period of two months, A total of 100 patients(average ages : $50{\pm}8$, male : 60, female : 40) with head and neck vascular diseases were performed on the GE excite 3.0 T units with 8-channel head coil and 4-channel NV coil. Imaging parameters for a typical study were as follow: SBC(TR/ TE/ FA/ SliceThicken./ Slab/ Freq./ FOV/ BW/Scan Time) = 5.4/ min/ 30/ 2/ zip2/ 70/ $224{\times}448$/ 30/ 62.50/ 28, TRICKS(TR/ TE/ FA/ Slice Thicken/Slab/ Freq./ FOV/ BW/ Temp Res./ Scan Time = 3.6/ min/ 25/ 4/ 30/ $160{\pm}384$, zip512/ 30/ 100/ 1 to 1.5/ 23). The analysis of all MR images, which have respect-ively classified two techniques into some diseases. The results of the former were divided into two groups(SBC, TRICKS)with 4 grading of two reader, respectively. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine if a significant difference between imaging techniques existed(p < 0.05). In 33 of 100 patients, arterio-venous malformation was 11% at TRICKS, subclavian vein stenosis : 8%, fistular sinus : 4%, jugular vein stenosis:6%, Middle Cerebral Artery bypass surgery : 4%, p < 0.05). The rest of 67 patients were considered as the results of SBC(14% in the basilar artery stenosis, carotid stenosis : 16%, vertebral stenosis : 17%, central neuro-cytoma : 5%, meningioma : 5%, Not appliable : 10%, p < 0.05). Sensitivity and specificity of TRICKS MR angiography in SVS, FS, JVS, MCABS were improved compared with those at standard MR angiography. In SBS MR angiography which were improved in BAS, CS, VS, CN, Meningioma. In conclusion, TRICKS MR angiography of the SVS, FS, JVS, MCABS is superior to standard MR angiography regarding the number of diagnostic grading. The SBS MR angiography were improved in BAS, CS, VS, CN, Meningioma. and assessment of the degree of luminal narrowing on both TRICKS and SBS.

  • The transcranial Doppler(TCD) is a technique for measuring blood flow velocity of intracranial and extarcranial arteries. This examination based on Doppler effect which was first formulated in 1842 by the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler. In 1982, Rune Aaslid first maked 2MHz pulsed probe and recording intracranial vessels with transcranially. There are six criteria utilized in gaining positive identification of the intracranial vessels. The six criteria are as follows l)acoustical windows 2)depth of sample volume 3)direction of flow 4)spatial relationship of ACA and MCA bifurcation 5)mean velocity and 6)response common carotid artery compression and/or oscillation test. The affected factors for TCD examination are angle of insonation, posture of subject, age, gender, hematocrit, metabolic factors, and cardiac output. Clinical application of TCD are detection of stenosis, occlusion, emboli, thrombsis in intracranial and extracranial arteries and evaluation of cerebral arterovenous malformation, collateral capacity in the circle of Willis, ischemia cerebrovascular disease, stroke patient and vertebrobasilar system.

  • Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) of the transverse sinus with ophthalmic manifestations in young children are rare. We reviewed two cases of direct AVF of the transverse sinus with ocular manifestations managed at our institution. The first, a 2.5 years old male child presented with left exophthalmos. Angiography revealed AVF between the occipital artery and the transverse sinus. The second, a 2 years old female child, complained of left exophthalmos. Imaging studies showed bilateral direct AVFs of the transverse sinus with bilateral dysmaturation of the sigmoid sinus. Transarterial embolization was done in both cases. Clinical and radiological follow up revealed complete cure. This report suggests that DAVF of the transverse sinus supplied by the external carotid branches can present with ophthalmic manifestations especially if there is distal venous stenosis or obliteration involving sigmoid sinus. Transarterial embolization using coils and liquid embolic agents could be safe and feasible to obliterate the fistula.

  • Moyamoya disease is a unique cerebrovascular disorder characterized by idiopathic progressive stenosis at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and fine vascular network. The aim of this review is to present the clinical application of quantitative digital subtraction angiography (QDSA) in pediatric moyamoya disease. Using conventional angiographic data and postprocessing software, QDSA provides time-contrast intensity curves and then displays the peak time ($T_{max}$) and area under the curve (AUC). These parameters of QDSA can be used as surrogate markers for the hemodynamic evaluation of disease severity and quantification of postoperative neovascularization in moyamoya disease.

  • Acute event in cerebrovascular disease is the second most common cause of death in Korea following cancer, and it can also cause serious neurologic deficits. Understanding of perfusion status is important for clinical applications in management of patients with cerebrovascular diseases, and then the attacks of ischemic neurologic symptoms and the risk of acute events can be reduced. Therefore, the normal vascular anatomy of brain, various clinical applications of acetazolamide-enhanced brain perfusion SPECT, including meaning and role of assessment of vascular reserve in carotid stenosis before procedure, in pediatric Moyamoya disease before and after operation, in prediction of development of hyperperfusion syndrome before procedure, and in prediction of vasospasm and of prognosis in subarachnoid hemorrahge were reviewed in this paper.

  • Objective : Despite widespread use of flow diverters (FDs) to treat aneurysms, the exact healing mechanism associated with FDs remains poorly understood. We aim to describe the healing process of aneurysms treated using FDs by demonstrating the histopathologic progression in a canine aneurysm model. Methods : Twenty-one side wall aneurysms were created in common carotid artery of eight dogs and treated with two different FDs. Angiographic follow-ups were done immediately after placement of the device, 4 weeks and 12 weeks. At last follow-up, the aneurysm and the device-implanted parent artery were harvested. Results : Histopathologic findings of aneurysms at 4 weeks follow-up showed intra-aneurysm thrombus formation in laminating fashion, and neointimal thickening at the mid-segment of aneurysm. However, there are inhomogenous findings in aneurysms treated with the same type of FD showing same angiographic outcomes. At 12 weeks, aneurysms of complete and near-complete occlusion revealed markedly shrunken aneurysm filled with organized connective tissues with thin neointima. Aneurysms of incomplete occlusion at 12 weeks showed small amount of organized thrombus around fringe neck and large empty space with thick neointmal formation. Neointimal thickness and diameter stenosis was not significantly different between the groups of FD specification and follow-up period. Conclusion : Intra-aneurysmal thrombus formation and organization seem to be an important factor for the complete occlusion of aneurysms treated using the FD. Neointimal formation could occur along the struts of the FD independently of intra-aneurysmal thrombus formation. However, neointimal formation could not solely lead to complete aneurysm healing.

  • 모야모야 질환은 원위부 내경 동맥과 근위부 뇌동맥들의 폐쇄성 내피 이형증으로 특징지워는 뇌혈관 질환으로, 아직까지 정확한 병인이 밝혀지지 않은 질환이다. 상기 질환은 양측 내경 동맥의 원위부에 부분적인 협착이나 폐쇄를 야기하게 되고, 이러한 뇌혈관의 해부학적인 변이는 뇌의 기저부에 매우 미세한 혈관들의 문합을 형성하게 하는데, 이러한 신생 혈관들이 뇌혈관 조영검사상 구름처럼 보인다 하여 ‘Moyamoya’라 불리운다. 모야모야 환자군들에게서 관상 동맥 질환 등으로 인한 개심술의 시행은 매우 드물다고 알려져 있으며, 이러한 환자군들에서의 인공심폐기를 이용한 개심술은 수술 중, 그리고 수술 후 허혈성 뇌질환 등의 위험성이 매우 높다고 보고되고 있다. 본 교실은 모야모야 환자에서 심방중격결손 폐쇄와 관상동맥우회술을 인공심폐기를 이용한 개심술을 시행하여 성공적으로 치료하였기에 간략한 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

  • Reconstruction of the pharynx and cervical esophagus presents a tremendous challenges to surgeons. Over the past 2 years[1990, Dec.-1993, Jun], the free jejunal graft has been performed in 17 cases in Korea Cancer Center Hospital.The indications of this procedures were almost malignant neoplasms involving neck and upper aero-digestive tract; Hypopharyngeal cancer[12 cases, including 2 recurrent cases], laryngeal cancer[2 cases], thyroid cancer[2 cases, including 1 recurrent case], cervical esophageal cancer[1 case]. There were fifteen men and two women, and the mean age was 59.6 years. The anastomosis site of jejunal artery were common carotid artery[16 cases] or external carotid artery[1 case] and that of jejunal vein were internal jegular [15 cases] or facial[1 case] and superior thyroid vein[1 case]. The length of jejunal graft was from 9 cm to 17 cm[mean 13 cm] and the mean ischemic time was 68 minutes. There was one hospital mortality which was irrelevant to procedures[variceal bleeding] and one graft failure[1/16]. Other postoperative complications were neck bleeding or hematoma[3 cases], abdominal wound infection or disruption[5 cases], anastomosis site leakage[1 case], pneumonia[2 cases], graft vein thrombosis[1 case], and food aspiration[1 case]. The function of conduit was excellent and ingestion of food was possible in nearly all cases. Postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy was also applicable without problem in 7 cases. During follow-up periods, the anastomosis site stenosis developed in four patients, and the tracheal stoma was narrowed in one case but easily overcome with dilation. In conclusion, we think that the free jejunal graft is one of the excellent reconstruction methods of upper digestive tract, especially after radical resection of malignant neoplasm in neck with a high success rate and low mortality and morbidity rate.

  • 배경 :경동맥 내막 절제술의 목적은 뇌졸중 예방에 있다. 경동맥 내막 절제술시 경동맥 혈류를 차단하였을 때 뇌허혈 상태를 초래하는지 가 가장 중요한 문제이다. 경동맥 혈류 역류압은 뇌내 측부혈류 상태를 반영하므로 경동맥 혈류 차단시 역류압과 뇌파검사 소견에 딸라 shunt 삽입여부 기준을 알아보려고 하였다 대상 및 방법 : 1996년 2월부터 1999년 3월까지 경동맥 내막 절제술을 시행받은 16명을 대상으로 하였다 남자가 14명있고 여자가 2명이었으며 평균연령은 66.35$\pm$6.53이었다 수술부위 경동맥 협착은 평균 73.8$\pm$12.33%였고 반대측 경동맥 협착은 평균 60.99$\pm$23.03%였다. 수술중 모든 환자에서 뇌파감시를 하였으며 경동맥 혈류압을 측정하여 40 mmHg 이하이거나 수술반대측 경동맥 완전폐색이 있는 경우 shunt를 삽입하였다 결과 : 술후 1례에서 사망이 있었는데 이 환자는 전, 중 뇌내동맥 영역에 큰 뇌경색이 있으며 동측에 심한 경동맥 협착이 있고 의식은 기면 상태여서 바로 응급수술을 하였다 수술시경동맥 혈류 역류압은 35mmHg 여서 shunt를 사용하였다 술후 1일째 의식이 혼수상태로 나빠져 뇌 단층촬영한 결과 뇌경색 부위에 출혈이 발생하여 사망하였다. 수술 직후 모든 환자에서 뇌허혈에 따른 합병증 및 사망은 없었고 1례에서 수술후 1일째 수술부위 반대편에 적은 뇌경색이 발생하였다 평균 21.5$\pm$11.85개우러의 외래 추적 검사에서 뇌졸중 재발이 없었다. 결론 : 뇌졸중이환후 경동맥 내막 절제술은 최소 4-6주 이상 안정화 시킨 다음 수술하는 것이 좋다고 생각된다 경동맥 내막 절제술은 뇌졸중 예방에 효과적인 치료방법이며 경동맥 혈류역류압이 40mmHg 이하일 경우 shunt를 설치하여 수술하는 것이 안전하다고 사료된다.
