Tic convulsif is a syndrome restricted to paroxysmal dysfunction of the fifth and seventh cranial nerves. It occurs predominantly in women over the age of 50 years and is usually associated with an ectatic vertebrobasilar artery - less frequently an arteriovenous malformation or cholesteatoma - which compresses the trigeminal and facial nerve roots in the postetior fossa. In rare instances this syndrome may be caused by brain tumor. Because of the high incidence of posterior fossa lesions in painful tic convulsif, a complete neurological evaluation including computerised transaxial tomography should be performed in every case. We experienced a case of trigeminal neuralgia(mandibular division)and contralateral hemifacial spasm.

Vernet's syndrome is a complex of multiple cranial nerve palsy including ninth, tenth, and eleventh cranial nerves which results from various lesions involving the jugular foramen. There are several kinds of lesions that can cause Vernet's syndrome. It includes congenital cholesteatoma, vascular lesions such as protruded jugular bulb, infections such as external otitis or abscess, and tumoral lesions such as schwannoma or paraganglioma. We present a rare case of Vernet's syndrome caused by non-specific inflammatory mass lesion in the neck area sparing jugular foramen.

Objective: In children with acute otitis media, we investigated the relationship between state of tympanic membrane and treatment period by video otoscope. Methods: Ten children(6 boys, 4 girls) with acute otitis media were assigned to one of three groups. In the grade I, there were redness in the tympanic membrane. In the grade II, there were bulging, effusion with exudate, dark color in the tympanic membrane. In the grade III, there were effusion with purulent exudate or cholesteatoma with serous exudate. And we investigated the treatment period in each group. Results: Overall, the $mean{\pm}S.D.$ on the treatment period in the grade I was shorter than grade II. It was $12.6{\pm}5.18$ in the grade I versus $26{\pm}2.83$ in the grade II. That in the grade II was shorter than grade III. It was $26{\pm}2.83$ in the grade II versus $148{\pm}43.03$ in the grade III. Conclusions: Although we couldn't have enough cases in each group. we could predict the conclusion that there was the relationship between treatment period and state of tympanic membrane.

Background and Objectives: To assess whether the audiological and clinical outcomes of type 0 tympanoplasty (T0) performed using cartilage were comparable with those of ossiculoplasty in patients who underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWDM). Subjects and Methods: This study included patients who had chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma and underwent CWDM with ossiculoplasty involving partial ossicular replacement prosthesis (PORP), total ossicular replacement prosthesis (TORP), or T0. Anatomical success rates and hearing outcomes were analyzed. Results: Seventy-two patients were included in this study; 29 of them underwent CWDM with T0, 27 underwent CWDM with PORP, while 16 underwent CWDM with TORP. The difference in mean improvement in the air-bone gap (ABG) between the groups was not significant. The differences in the rates of ABG closure to ≤10 dB HL (p=0.030) and ≤20 dB HL (p=0.029) were significant. There were significant differences in improvements in the ABG at 3 kHz among the PORP, TORP, and T0 groups. Conclusions: The audiological outcomes of CWDM with ossiculoplasty seemed to be better than those of CWDM with T0 with no significant difference in the incidence of complications following ossiculoplasty and T0.

For a minimally invasive approach to access the facial nerve, we designed an extended epitympanotomy via a transmastoid approach that has proven useful in cases of traumatic facial nerve palsy and pre-cholesteatoma. To evaluate the surgical exposure through an extended epitympanotomy, six patients with traumatic facial nerve palsy were enrolled in this study. The same surgical technique was used in all patients. Patients were assessed and the degree of facial nerve paralysis was determined prior to surgery, 1-week post-operatively, and 6-months post-operatively using the House-Brackmann grading system. In all cases, surgical exposure was adequate. All patients with traumatic facial nerve palsy were male and the age range was 13 to 83 years. In all cases, the location of the facial nerve damage was limited to the area between the first and second genu. Symptoms of all the patients improved by 6 months post-operation (p=0.024). There were no complications in any of the patients. Extended epitympanotomy is useful for safe, rapid surgical exposure of the attic area, sparing the patient post-operative dimpling, skin incision complications, and lengthy exposure to anesthesia. We suggest that surgery for patients with facial nerve palsy secondary to trauma be performed using this described technique.

골 재흡수 치료를 목적으로 파미드로네이트를 지속적으로 방출하는 제형으로 제조하기 위하여 락타이드-글리콜라이드 공중합체 (PLGA, 락타이드 : 글리콜라이드 몰비 = 75 : 25, 분자량 20000 g/mole 및 90000 g/mole)를 이용하여 직접압축 성형방법으로 생분해성 웨이퍼를 제조하였다. 약물과 고분자의 함량비 웨이퍼의 두께, PLGA 분자량 등을 조절하여 PLGA 웨이퍼를 제조하였고 이들의 형태학적 특성과 방출거동 및 분해거동을 살펴보았다. 웨이퍼의 제조는 혼합된 분말을 웨이퍼 제작용 몰드에 넣은 후 프레스를 이용하여 일정 압력으로 일정시간 동안 상온에서 가압하여 제조하였다. 제조된 웨이퍼는 약물의 초기함량이 증가할수록 방출속도가 빠르게 나타났으며, 제형의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 시간이 경과함에 따라 약물의 방출속도가 증가하였다. 또한 고분자의 분자량이 큰 것이 작은 것에 비해 상대적으로 초기 약물 방출량이 적고 방출되는 속도 또한 느려져. 저분자보다 오랫동안 약물이 방출되었다. 이러한 약물전달 시스템은 압축성형방법에 의해 제조하므로 제조가 간단하고 약물방출속도를 정확하게 제어할 수 있으므로 이식을 위한 제형으로 제조시 유용하게 쓰일 것으로 예상되었다.

만성중이염에서 나타나는 감각신경성난청은 고음역난청이며 이는 중이염의 흔하고 또 중요한 합병증이기도 하다. 자자들은 과거 1년간 경험한 233예의 만성중이염수술례중 187예를 대상으로 수술전 청력소견상 골도치에 대하여 임상소견을 중심으로 통계학적 분석을 하였으며 또한 기니픽의 자연발생한 만성화농성중이염의 병리조직학적소견을 관찰하여 보고하는 바이다. 대상의 평균연령은 24.5재이었다. 1) 일측성만성중이염에서 건측과 환측의 골도치를 이원배치산분석법으로 비교한 결과 건측과 환측간 및 각 주파수간에 유의한 차이가 있었으며 그들 사이에 유의한 상호작용이 인정되었다. 특히 2KHz와 4KHz 사이에서 유의한 차이(P<0.01)가 있었다. 2) 상병기간에 따른 일원배치분산 분석에서는 11∼15연군과 15∼20년군 사이를 제외한 각군간에서 유의한 차이(P<0.05)가 있었다. 3) 등골손상유무에 따른 분석에서 골도치를 t 검정으로 비교한 결과 각 주파수에서 모두 유의한 차이(p<0.01)가 있었으며, 등골손상의 주파수에 대한 영향을 일원배치분산분석법으로 비교한 결과 250Hz와 500Hz 사이 및 2KHz와 4KHz 사이에서 유의한 차이(P<0.05)가 있었다. 4) 정원창폐쇄유무에 따른 골도변화를 t 검정으로 비교한 결과 각 주파수에서 모두 유의한 차이(p<0.01)가 있었다. 정원창폐쇄의 각 주파수에 대한 효과를 일원배치분산분석법으로 비교한 결과 250Hz와 500Hz사이 및 2KHz와 4KHz사이에서 유의한 차이(P<0.01)가 있었다. 5) 진주종유무에 따른 골도변화를 t 검정으로 비교한 결과 진주종성중이염에서는 2KHz와 4KHz에서만 유의한 차이(p<0.01)를 보였으나 수도평균치에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 6) 기니픽의 만성화농성중이염의 측두골 병리조직학적 병변의 검경상 만성염증성병소의 내이, 특히 와우침입로로서의 정원창의 병변이 뚜렷하여 이로 인한 외임파강내의 염증성병변이 뚜렷이 나타나 있으며 와우관의 특히 기저회전에서의 유모세포의 손실이 심한 것으로 보아 중이염으로 인한 골도의 고음역에서의 손실이 발생함을 알 수 있다.

만성중이염은 이비인후과의 가장 흔한 질환 중의 하나로 이에 대한 수술요법은 여러 가지 방법이 많이 발표되고 있으나 아직까지 어려운 점이 많이 있다고 하겠다. 저자들은 1981년 2월부터 1983년 2월 까지 부산성분도병원 이비인후과에서 만성중이염이란 진단하에 수술을 받은 환자 128예에 대해서 임상적 세균학적 관찰을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 성별과 연령비는 여자가 68예(53.1%), 남자가 60예 (46.9%), 또한 연령별로는 20대가 48예(37.5%), 10대가 37예(28.9%) 그리고 30대가 27예(21.1 %) 의 순서였다. 2) 환측별은 우측이 71예(55.5 %), 좌측이 57예(44.5 %) 이었다. 3) 수술전청력검사상 중등도의 손실이 64예 (50%)로 가장 많았고 다음으로 경도손실이 32예 (25 %)이었다. 4) 고막천공의 상태는 중심성천공이 65예(50.8%), 전결손이 44예 (34.4%), 이완부천공이 12예 (9.4%) 그리고 변연성천공이 7예 (5.4%)이었다. 5) 진주종이 전체의 36.7 %인 47예에서 나타났다. 6) 피부절개 및 수술경로는 postaural incision이 123예(96.1%) 이었다. 7) 국소마취가 95예(74.2 %) 이었다. 8) 수술방법은 intact canal wall tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy 가 53예 (41.4 %), tympanoplasty without mastoidectomy가 42예(32.8%) modified radical mastoidectomy 23예 (18%) 그리고 radical mastoidectomy가 10예(7.8%) 이었다. 9) Culture를 시행하여 분리된 균주 93종 중 proteus가 29종(31.2 %), staphylococcus가 27종(28.7%), pseudomonas가 22종(23.7%) 그리고 streptococcus가 7예(7.5%)이었다.
