지형정보가 전산화됨으로서 수치표고모델 및 위성영상사진 등이 지질조사에 활용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 남대천 유역의 하천 수계 천이점을 추출하여 단층운동과의 연관성을 규명하고자 하였다. 경상북도 울진군에 위치하고 있는 남대천 유역은 S1, S2, S3 등 세 개의 소유역으로 구분되며, 수치표고모델로 추출된 천이점들은 거의 모두 소유역의 중류 및 중상류에 분포하고 있다. S1 구역에서는 하각률과 관련 있는 지형경사도 Ks와 하천 수계의 요형도 값이 S2 나 S3 보다 높은 값을 보이고 있다. 이는 삭박작용이 활발하여 하각률이 높은 것에 기인되는 것으로 암상 차에 의한 것보다는 다수의 단층에 의한 것으로 해석된다. 하위지류를 포함한 남대천 유역의 천이점은 모두 77개이며, 이 중 주요 수계 S1, S2, S3에 발달하고 있는 천이점은 24개소이다. 77개소 중 이중 단층과 일치하고 있는 천이점은 27개소 (38%)이며, 주요 수계 상에서 단층과 일치되는 천이점은 13개 지점 (54%)이다. 그러므로 주요 수계와 단층과는 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있다. 즉, 조사지역의 상대 경사도 값 Ks의 평균은 38.8이다. 그러나 두천단층과 삼당단층이 중첩되는 부분에서는 해발고도를 고려하더라고, 상대적 경사도 $K_s$은 42.99~43.39로 다른 전이점보다 매우 높은 값을 보이므로, 천이점 형성은 단층과 유관한 지형변위임을 지시한다. 또한 천이점의 분포와 지질 경계부를 비교해볼 때, 천이점은 암상 경계부와도 무관하게 발달하고 있으나, 단층분포와 연관성이 있음을 알 수 있다. 결론적으로, 수계의 천 이점 발달은 단층 운동에 의하여 형성될 수 있는 지형변위로 판단된다. 수계 분석을 통해 천이점이 단층에 의한 지형 변위로 볼 수 있으며, 제 4기 단층을 규명하거나 단층 연장을 규명할 수 있는 수단으로 활용 될 수 있다.

Also called necrobacillosis or postanginal sepsis, Lemierre's syndrome (LS) is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication of odontogenic infection. A 27-year-old male diagnosed with Ludwig's angina was transferred from a local hospital due to continuous fever and chills after incision and drainage under general anesthesia. The swelling of both submental and submandibular area subsided, but the fever and chills persisted. While generalized malaise improved, sepsis developed together with the deterioration of liver function. The chest computed tomography scan revealed multiple cavitations throughout both lungs, which were diagnosed as septic pulmonary embolism. After consulting the department of infectious diseases, the patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics focusing on vancomycin and additional antibiotics. After 3 weeks of treatment, the patient recovered completely. Despite its decreased mortality, dentists are not familiar with LS, and it is difficult to diagnose correctly. In this paper, we report a case and present a review of literature.

Prior to the advent of efficacious antimicrobial agents, the mortality rate from cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) was effectively 100%. There have been very few reports of CST associated with tooth extraction. A 40-year-old female presented to the emergency room with swelling over the right side of the face and history of extraction in the upper right region by an unregistered dental practitioner. The patient presented with diplopia, periorbital ecchymosis, and chemosis of the right eye. A computed tomography scan revealed venous dilatation of the right superior ophthalmic vein. The patient was immediately treated with incision and drainage, intravenous antibiotics, and heparin (low molecular weight). Unfortunately, the patient died two days after surgery due to complications from the disease. CST is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. Therefore, dental health education in rural areas, legal action against unregistered dental practitioners, early diagnosis, and aggressive antibiotic treatment can prevent future mortality resulting from CST.

Disturbances of the interrelationship among the host, environment, microorganism will cause the infection clinically. Infection can be classified into bacterial, viral, fungal origin, Bacterial infection is most common due to dental caries, periodontal disease. These infections have the potential to spread via the fascial spaces in the head and neck region. We have undertaken clinical studies on infections in the oral and maxillofacial regions by analyzing 78 hospitalized patients in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dong-A University Hospital from 1994 to 1997. The results were as fellows; l. Odontogenic infections were most common with the incidence of 84.6%. 2. Considering the number of involved space, single space was 83.3%, double or more space was 16.6%. The most common fascial space involved was submandibular space and followed by buccal space, 3. The most causative organism isolated from the pus cultures was streptococci group 35.4%. 4. Antibiotics were administrated in all cases, and surgical incision and drainage was performed in 87.2%. 5. Combined administration of penicillin and aminoglycoside was most common in 34.6%.. 6. 7 cases were diagnosed as Ludwig's angina and tracheostomy was done in 2 cases of them.

Maxillary sinus membrane elevation and bone graft have been performed routinely in alveolar bone with insufficient residual bone height. There are a number of causes for development of maxillary sinusitis after these procedures. When maxillary sinusitis is caused by sinus membrane elevation, bone graft, and implant placement, various treatment such as medication, incision and drainage (I&D), implant removal, and the Caldwell-Luc procedure can be considered. Removal of an implant or the Caldwell-Luc procedure can be harmful if inflammation is not present in the oral cavity and survival of grafted bone and implant osseointegration can be expected despite the presence of maxillary sinusitis. In this case, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, which was often used in the otorhinolaryngology department, was performed without removal of the implant for a patient with maxillary sinusitis after one month following implant placement. Thus, we report on this case with a review of the literature.

Intraoperative airway obstruction is perplexing to anesthesiologists because the patient may fall into danger rapidly. A 74-year-old woman underwent an emergency incision and drainage for a deep neck infection of dental origin. She was orally intubated with a 6. 0 mm internal diameter reinforced endotracheal tube by video laryngoscope using volatile induction and maintenance anesthesia (VIMA) with sevoflurane, fentanyl ($100{\mu}g$), and succinylcholine (75 mg). During surgery, peak inspiratory pressure increased from 22 to $38cmH_2O$ and plateau pressure increased from 20 to $28cmH_2O$. We maintained anesthesia because we were unable to access the airway, which was covered with surgical drapes, and tidal volume was delivered. At the end of surgery, we found a longitudinal fold inside the tube with a fiberoptic bronchoscope. The patient was reintubated with another tube and ventilation immediately improved. We recognized that the tube was obstructed due to dissection of the inner layer.

Purpose: The masserteric space is an important tissue compartment of the face, but a disease in it is difficult to diagnose and treat. The submasseteric abscess is located between the masseter muscle and mandibular ramus with different appearances such as sepsis, infection, or tumor. Especially the common misdiagnosis of submasseteric abscess is acute or chronic parotitis. The purpose of this report is to pay special attention to the possible diagnosis of submasseteric abscess for the symptoms of unilateral cheek swelling and tenderness that accompany marked trismus. Methods: A 11-year-old boy came to our hospital because of facial swelling, tenderness, and trismus in a history of left cheek swelling and toothache. We diagnosed his case as submasseteric abscess by CT scan and surgical intervention was performed. Under general anesthesia, the abscess was opened by the intraoral incision and considerably massive pus was drained. Results: Swelling, tenderness, and trismus became to subside during postoperative 10 days and general condition and vital signs became stable. After 6 months, CT scan showed that both masseteric muscles were symmetric and there was no periosteal reaction of the mandible. Conclusion: In conclusion, submasseteric abscess is a rare infection with the symptoms of cheek tenderness and marked trismus. A detailed medical history and clinical examination of a patient as well as computed tomography(CT) are important tools in the accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment of the submasseteric abscess. Adequate drainage, removal of cause, and antibiotic infusion are the management of choice.

A 15 months old male pit bull terrier was shown submandibular swelling, which was extended from left submandibular area through mandibular symphysis to right submandibular area and toward around left neck. In history taking, recurrence of swelling was recorded after conservative surgical incision, drainage and dressing. Palpation revealed no pain and heating, partial flutuation and hardness. By paracentesis, it was showed blood-tinged tenacious exudate without bad-smelling. Left submandibular salivary gland was able to be movable freely and the size decreased to half of that of right submandibular salivary gland. It was diagnosed as cervical salivary mucocele. In operation, rostral portion of left sublingual salivary gland was observed to be damaged transversely, showed black color and leaked saliva. Submandibular gland and rostral portion of sublingual salivary gland were resected, after ligation of ducts of submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. At 15 days postoperation, serosanguineous exudate from operation wound was dramatically decreased and stable granulation tissue mass at this area was first palpated. At 39 days after operation, outline of left and right mandibular was appeared normal and skin tenderness of mandibular area was equal to that of the other body wall.
