법랑질형성부전증은 주로 법랑기의 기능불량으로 야기된 법랑질의 형태이상을 말하며, 치아의 중배엽은 정상이기 때문에 완전한 외배엽성 이상이다. 법랑질형성부전증은 유치와 영구치 모두에서 발생할 수 있으며, 발생빈도는 1:14,000 혹은 1:16,000정도이다. 법랑질형성부전증은 다양한 임상증상을 나타낼 수 있으며, 임상적으로 형성부전증(hypoplastic), 석회화부전증(hypocalcified). 성숙부전증(hypomatruation)등으로 나눌 수 있다 대부분 법랑질 형성부전증 환자들은 심미성, 치아의 냉온에 대한 과민반응, 교합면의 마모 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 형성부정증에서는 비교적 위의 문제가 경미하나, 석회화부전증에 있어서는 더욱 심각하다. 치료방법으로는 먼저 유전적 상담이 선행돼야하며, 전치부 심미성의 해결을 위한 composite resin veneer나 jacket crown을 이용하고, 구치부에 있어서는 S-S crown을 이용한 방법이 있을 수 있다. 본 증례는 전북대학교 치과병원에 내원한 3명의 법랑질형성부전증 환아의 임상검사 및 치료과정에 대하여 보고하는 바이다.

Objective : Anterior communicating artery (Acom) aneurysm is one of the most common intracranial aneurysms, constituting approximately 30-35% of all aneurysm formation in the brain. Anatomically, the H-complex (the anatomic morphology of both A1 to A2 segments) is thought to affects the nature of the Acom aneurysm due to its close relationship with the hemodynamics of the vessel. Therefore, we investigated the relative risk factors of aneurysmal rupture, especially focusing on H-complex morphology of the Acom. Methods : From January 2016 to December 2020, a total of 209 patients who underwent surgery, including clipping and coiling for Acom aneurysm in our institution were reviewed. There were 102 cases of ruptured aneurysm and 107 cases of unruptured aneurysm. The baseline morphology of aneurysms was investigated and the relationship between the H-complex and the clinical characteristics of patients with Acom aneurysms was assessed. Results : Of the 209 patients, 109 patients (52.1%) had symmetrical A1, 79 patients (37.8%) had unilateral hypoplastic A1, and 21 patients (10.0%) had aplastic A1. The hypoplastic A1 group and the aplastic A1 group were grouped together as unilateral dominancy of A1, and were compared with the symmetrical A1 group. There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and radiological findings of Acom aneurysms between two groups. However, when dichotomizing the patients into ruptured cases and unruptured cases, unilateral dominance of the A1 segment was associated with aneurysmal rupture with statistical significance (p=0.011). Conclusion : These results suggest that the unilateral dominance of the A1 segment does not have a significant effect on the morphology of Acom aneurysms, but contributes to aneurysmal rupture. Thus, we can better understand the effects of hemodynamics on Acom aneurysm.

Objective: To summarize the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) features of duplicated internal auditory canals (DIACs). Materials and Methods: Ear HRCT data of 64813 patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), obtained between August 2009 and November 2017, were reviewed. Among these patients, 12 (13 ears) were found to have DIACs, 9 of whom underwent HRMRI. Their images were evaluated by two otoradiologists. Results: The rate of occurrence of DIAC among SNHL patients was 0.019% (12/64813). The internal auditory canals of 13 ears were divided into double canals by complete (n = 6) and incomplete (n = 7) bony septa, with varied orientations ranging from horizontal to approximately vertical. All of the anterosuperior canals extended into the facial nerve (FN) canal, except for 1, which also extended to the vestibule. The posteroinferior canals ended in the cochlea and vestibule, except for 2, which also connected to the FN canals. Magnetic resonance images revealed that 77.8% (7/9) and 22.2% (2/9) of vestibulocochlear nerves (VCNs) were aplastic and hypoplastic, respectively. Furthermore, 88.9% (8/9) of FNs were normal, except for 1, which was hypoplastic. All of the affected ears also had other ear anomalies: a narrow, bony cochlear nerve canal was the most common other anomaly, accounting for 92.3% (12/13). Malformations of other systems were not found. Conclusion: Double-canal appearance is a characteristic finding of DIAC on HRCT, and it is usually accompanied by other ear anomalies. The VCN usually appears aplastic, with a normal FN, on HRMRI.

Aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry is becoming a major source of the dentists practice and source of income. Patients are demanding dentists to improve and enhance their appearance and function by means of aesthetic contouring and orthodontics and are willing to pay for such services. This creates a challenge for the dental profession to gain more knowledge and skill in this important area of their practice. Ceramic and composite veneers provide a comprehensive solution to the dentition that are severely hypoplastic or deeply stained by the ingestion of tetracycline during tooth development. A large number of dental materials and new techniques are now available that will render extremely satisfactory and beautiful solutions to these previously unsightly dentitions. This presentation will present the most commonly used dental materials and techniques of fabrication of composite and porcelain veneers. Using clinical cases, the step by step cavity preparations.Impression taking, laboratory fabrication, clinical try-in and cementation materials and techniques and repairs of broken veneers as well as long term follow up will be presentedesented

Four to seven percent of infants born with aortic atresia have a normal-sized left ventricle in association with a ventricular septal defect and a normal mitral valve. In contrast to the more common group of infants with aortic atresia whose left ventricle is hypoplastic, this important subgroup has potential for complete operative correction involving both the right and left ventricle. Our approach was to perform complete repair at one stage. The patient who underwent single-stage repair was discharged from the hospital in good condition. Achieving a physiologically normal circulation simplifies the postoperative management of this condition.

The development of extracardiac valved conduits for establishment of RV-PA continuity has permitted repair of previously uncorrectable congenital heart anomalies and has facilitated the repair of other complex lesions. But the distressing problem of neointimal peel formation with eventual conduit obstruction in patients with Dacron valved conduits has led to the need for premature replacement in many patients. Therefore in the absence of pulmonary hypertension, hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, significant right ventricular dysfunction or unrepaired tricuspid regurgitation, preference of a valveless conduit to a valved conduit gives excellent results and may diminish the need for late reoperation. In our Hanyang University Hospital, the Rastelli operation was performed for the repair of pulmonary atresia with a valveless Gore-Tex conduit. The patient was operated on with good result. The CVP after operation was 8-13 mmHg at POD #0 and 4-6 mmHg from POD #3-4. Postoperatively the patient was acyanotic and had improved physical capacity compared with his preoperative status.

Bochdalek hernia in adult is relatively uncommon. We experienced a surgical case of Bochdalek hernia in a 29 year old housewife. She was admitted via E-R due to left chest pain and nausea for 1 months. 5 days before admission, she had Cesarean section on private hospital. After delivery, nausea and exertional dyspnea were aggravated. On admission, chest PA showed herniated stomach, colon, small intestine on left thorax. She was diagnosed of diaphragmatic hernia and operated. Operative findings were as follows: 1. hypoplastic: lower lobe of left lung, 2. stomach, colon, small intestine, spleen were herniated, 3. the defect was located on posterolateral portion of diaphragm, measuring 10 x 8 cm in size. Herniated intestines were reduced and diaphragmatic defect was repaired as interrupted sutures with 2-0 Mersilene. Postoperative courses were uneventful and the patient was discharged on POD 10th.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis may be defined as an obstructive congenital deformity of the ascending aorta which originates just distal to the level of the origin of the coronary arteries. It may occur in several different anatomical form. Three type have been described; the hourglass, the hypoplastic and the membranous type, each term identifying the gross characteristic of the lesion causing by the aortic obstruction. Non cardiovascular condition commonly associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis are mental retardation, facial anomalies, hypercalcemia, etc. The diagnosis can be established preoperatively by left heart catheterization and selective angiography. Recently, we experienced a case of multiple localized supravalvular aortic stenosis involving, just above the sinus Valsalva and just proximal of the innominate artery. The surgical correction which was performed by a vertical incision across the each narrowing of aorta with replacement of diamond shaped double velour Woven Dacron patch under the CPB. He was discharged without any event.

Neural crest cells have embriologically important role for the development and growth in oral and maxillofacial region. If the early hereditary defect occurs or environmental factors affect these cells diminutive mesenchymal cells are disabled to make neural plate and decreased proliferation of mesenchymal cells result in hypoplastic development of neural crest. As a result, this brings about severe facial malformations such as various located facial clefts and/or loss or duplication of facial structure. These are two cases of accessory maxilla and zygomatic deformity with and without facial cleft.

Very few reports are available on the occurrence of abnormality of both enamel and dentin. This case has some characteristiced of both amelogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta. Clinically, the enamel of primary dentition was completely absent and when the permanent teeth came to the pediatric dept. of Dankook University Dental Hopital for treatment. Fixed-removable type resin plate was delivered to increase vertical dimension and to solve esthetic and functional defects. Hypoplastic teeth were restored either stainless steel crown or composite resin restoration or both. The periodic recall check and oral hygiene education are recommended.
