Flail arm syndrome (FAS), known as one of the atypical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) variants, has a similar clinical course and pathologic findings as ALS. Therefore it is difficult to differentiate between ALS and FAS at a glance. There are few reports involving individual analysis of FAS patients to date. The findings of polysomnography (PSG) in patient with FAS are not well known. We report a male FAS patient with review of literatures and several issues related to the diagnostic process.

목적 : 절제 가능한 직장암 환자에서 수술전 방사선 치료를 시행한 예들(대상군)과 동일한 임상병기에서 수술만을 시행했던 예들(대조군)사이의 수술후 병리 조직학적 소견들을 비교하여 수술전 방사선 치료의 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 :1995년 7월부터 1996년 4월까지 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 성모병원 방사선종양 학과에서 수술전방사선치료를 받았던 19명의 환자중 수술을 시행받은 16명을 대상으로 하였으며, 이를 과거에 수술만을 시행했던 31명과 후향적분석을 통해 비교하였다. 진단 당시 이들의 임상병기 분류는 Thomas Jefferson(TJ) system을 이용하였다. 수술전 방사선 치료는 매일 180-200 cGy로 주 5회, 총 방사선 조사량 4500-5000cGy까지 시행하였으며, 방사선 치료가 끝나고 평균 4주후에 수술을 시행하였다. 수술후 병기 결정은 Modified Astler-Coiler(MAC) system을 이용하였다. 방사선 치료후 임상 병기에 따른 수술후 병리학적 병기와 소견을 관찰하고, 이 결과를 수술전 동일한 임상 병기를 지녔던 대조군의 병리학적 소견과 비교하였다 병리학적 소견으로는 종양세포의 혈관 침범, 림프관 침범및 신경조직주위 침범여부 등을 관찰하였다. 통계학적 방법으로는 chi-square test를 사용하였다. 결과 : 대상이 되었던 19명중 16명에서 종양의 위치에 관계없이 방사선 치료후 항문보존적 근치수술을 시행할수 있었으며, 방사선 치료후 1명$(6.3\%)$의 환자가 병리조직학적으로 완전반응을 보였다. 방사선 치료후에 항문보존적 근치수술을 시행했던 대상군과 수술만을 시행했던 대조군사 이의 임상적 병기와 수술후 병기를 비교해 보면 TJ stage III였던 경우, 9명의 대상군중에서는 완전반응을 보인 1명을 제외하고는, 8명 모두가 MAC stage B로 나타났으며$(88.9\%)$, 17명의 대조관에서는 B인 경우가 11명$(64.7\%)$, C인 경우가 6명$(35.3\%)$이었으며, TJ stage III였던 경우, 7명의 대상군에서는 MAC stage상 B인 경우가 4명$(57.1\%)$, C인 경우가 3명 $(42.9\%)$이었고, 14명의 대조관에서는 B인 경우가 4명$(28.6\%)$, C인 경우가 10명$(71.4\%)$이었다. 따라서 수술전 방사선 치료를 시행했던 예들에서 병리학적 병기가 낮은 경향을 보였으며, 특히 방사선 치료후 MAC stage C 소견의 급격한 감소가 보였다(p=0.049). 병리학적인 소견으로 종양세포의 혈관 침범, 림프관 침범과 신경조직 주위 침범등이 대상군에서 대조군에 비하여 모두가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 동일한 임상 병기에서 수술전 방사선 치료를 시행한 군과 수술만을 시행한 군 사이의 수술후 병기는 수술전 방사선 치료를 시행한 경우에 비하여 병기가 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 특히 병리학적으로 종양세포의 림프관 침범 소견이 감소된 것은 방사선 치료군에서 수술후 MAC Stage C 소견이 감소된 것과 일치되는 소견을 보였다 이러한 결과를 통해 절제 가능한 직장암 환자에서 수술전 방사선 치료를 하는 것이 효과적일수 있다고 사료된다. 그러나, 좀 더 명확한 결론을 얻기 위해서는 더 많은 수의 환자들을 대상으로 장기적인 추적관찰을 하는 연구가 함께 이루어져야 할 것이라고 생각된다.

Although nonoperative reduction plays a major role in the management of uncomplicated intussusception in the pediatric age group, surgical treatment is still a necessary alternative when nonoperative reduction is unsuccessful. The author analyzed the clinical features of 68 patients requiring operation in order to identify factors which might influence the type of operative management. A nine-year experience at Ewha Womans University Hospital was reviewed, and the findings compared to previous reports. Barium was used for the initial reduction attempt in 33 cases, saline in 35. Manual reduction by milking at operation achieved success in 41 cases(60.3%). Fifteen cases(22.1%) required resection of bowel, and 12 patients(17.6%) were found to have spontaneous and complete reduction of the intussusception at operation. Two cases had pathologic leading points. There were no perforations due to nonoperative reduction. There were no significant differences in demographic data, clinical findings, laboratory data, and anatomic type of intussusception between barium and saline reduction groups. However, a significant number of cases with spontaneous reduction were in saline reduction group(p<0.05). There was a slight chance of spontaneous reduction in infants under 6 month of age(p<0.001). Age under 6 month. body temperature over $38^{\circ}C$, symptom over 24 hours, and ileo-colic and ileo-ileo-colic intussusception contributed significantly to the necessity for bowel resection(p<0.05-0.001). The author believes that the age, body temperature, duration of illness, and anatomic type of intussusception strongly influence operative management.

Nowadays shoulder ultrasound is commonly used in the assessment of shoulder diseases and is as accurate as magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of several pathologies. Operator dependence is the main disadvantage of shoulder ultrasound. After adhering to a strict examination protocol, good knowledge of normal anatomy and pathologic processes and an awareness of common pitfalls, it can be used as a focused examination providing rapid, real-time diagnosis, and treatment by ultrasound-guided interventions in desired clinical situations. Also shoulder ultrasound can help the surgeon decide whether treatment will be surgical or nonsurgical. If arthroscopy is planned, sonographic findings help to counsel patients regarding surgical and functional outcomes. If a nonsurgical approach is indicated, ultrasound can be used to follow patients. This review article presents the examination techniques, the normal sonographic appearances and the main pathologic conditions found in shoulder ultrasound. And also addresses a simplified approach to scanning and ultrasound-guided intervention. Knowledge of optimal techniques, normal anatomy, dynamic maneuvers, and pathologic conditions is essential for optimal performance and interpretation of images.

Non-infectious granulomatous lung disease represents a diverse group of disorders characterized by pulmonary opacities associated with granulomatous inflammation, a relatively nonspecific finding commonly encountered by pathologists. Some lesions may present a diagnostic challenge because of nonspecific imaging features; however, recognition of the various imaging manifestations of these disorders in conjunction with patients' clinical history, such as age, symptom onset and duration, immune status, and presence of asthma or cutaneous lesions, is imperative for narrowing the differential diagnosis and determining appropriate management of this rare group of disorders. In this pictorial review, we describe the pathologic findings of various non-infectious granulomatous lung diseases as well as the radiologic features and high-resolution computed tomography imaging features.

We have experienced a case of primary thymic carcinoma. A 39 year old female patient admitted with incidentally detected mediastinal mass on chest film.The tumor showed invasion to surrounding tissues and the mediastinal lymphadenopathies were also noted. Invasion to contiguous mediastinal structures made complete surgical extirplation impossible and the biposy findings revealed primary thymic carcinoma. Primary thymic carcinoma is a rare neoplasm originating from the thymic epithelial cells. Clinical behavior of the thymic carcinoma is much different from it`s benign counterpart and several pathologic variants were reported.

Purpose: Sinus tarsi syndrome (STS) is caused by various pathologies. However, the exact etiology of STS remains controversial. This study evaluated the imaging and arthroscopic findings of patients who underwent surgical treatment after conservative treatment for STS failed. Materials and Methods: Between December 2014 and August 2018, 20 patients (21 cases) who underwent surgical treatment for STS were included in the study. The clinical results were analyzed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot functional scale. The radiographic results were analyzed using Meary's angle, calcaneal pitch angle, and hindfoot alignment angle. The pathologic conditions of sinus tarsi were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and subtalar arthroscopy. Synovitis, bone edema, and accessory anterolateral talar facet (AALTF) were evaluated on MRI. Synovial thickening, cartilage damage, interosseous talocalcaneal ligament (ITCL) and cervical ligament rupture, soft tissue impingement, AALTF, and accessory talar facet impingement (ATFI) were evaluated by subtalar arthroscopy. Results: The mean duration of symptoms was 28.7 months (4~120). All patients showed significant improvement in the VAS and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale. Significant improvements in hindfoot alignment angle and Meary's angle postoperatively were noted in patients who underwent medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy. MRI confirmed synovitis in all patients, AALTF in 19 cases (90.5%), and ATFI with bone edema in seven cases (33.3%). In subtalar arthroscopy, pathologic conditions were observed in the following order: synovitis in 21 cases (100%), AALTF in 20 cases (95.2%), ITCL partial rupture in nine cases (42.9%), and soft tissue impingement in seven cases (33.3%). All cases had two or more pathological conditions, and 15 (71.4%) had three or more. Conclusion: In cases of STS that do not respond to conservative treatment, a comprehensive examination of the lesions of the tarsal sinus and lesions around the subtalar joint is essential.
