Thyroglossal duct cyst is ectodermal remnant, which may develop along the line of descent of the thyroid gland from the foramen cecum of the tongue to the pyramidal lobe of the thyroid gland. Meticulous dissection of the cyst and duct, along with the body of the hyoid bone is necessary to avoid recurrence. Eighty-one patients with thyroglossal duct cyst treated at Hanyang University Hospital between January 1980 and December 2000 were reviewed to determine the incidence and to analyze the result of management. The male-to-female ratio was 1.4:1(47:34) with a male preponderance. They are most commonly present at 3-8years(54.2 %) of age, but rarely present at infancy. The most common symptom was a painless midline neck mass(76.5 %, 62cases). Eighty-one patients underwent modified Sistrunk operation without evidence of recurrence. Eight-nine percent(72 cases) of these lesions were located between thyroid substance and hyoid bone, and 11 %(9 cases) were above the hyoid bone. There were 22 infected cysts(27.2 %). The Sistrunk operation is a gold standard for treating the thyroglossal duct cysts. For best results in thyroglossal duct cyst surgery, one should make every effort to remove the cyst intact in continuity with the body of the hyoid bone. In our institute, Sistrunk operation modified by the authors showed a good result.

The deletion of the distal long arm of chromosome 1 is associated with a characteristic facial appearance and a pattern of associated malformations. Characteristic manifestations include a round face with prominent 'cupid's bow' and downturned corners of the mouth, thin vermilion borders of lips, a long upper lip with a smooth philtrum, a short and broad nose, epicanthal folds, apparently low-set ears, micrognathia, microcephaly, abnormal hands and feet, variable cardiac or genital anomalies, moderate to severe mental retardation, and growth retardation. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis to map precisely the deletion, we present a case of chromosome 1q44 deletion with craniofacial characteristics, multiple congenital anomalies, and growth and psychomotor retardation. In comparison with other reported cases of 1q43-44 deletion, the subject does not show hydrocephalus, seizure, syn- or polydactyly of hands, and a urogenital anomaly. However, an arachnoid cyst, pinpoint dimple on the midline of the forehead, a right-sided supernumerary nipple and auricular pit, polydactyly of the right foot, adducted thumb, and flexion restriction of the proximal interphalangeal joint with a simian line in both hands were observed additionally.

내측세로다발은 조화로운 눈운동의 핵심적인 역할을 하는 유수 합성로이며 수도관주위회색질의 배쪽의 중간선 근처에 놓여있다. 내측세로다발의 병변은 신경핵사이 눈근육마비로 불리는 동측의 내전 결손과 반대측 외전 안진을 야기한다. 중뇌와 교뇌에서 인접한 백질과 섞여있는 신경로는 전산화단층촬영술과 자기공명영상과 같은 뇌영상에서 구별하기 어렵다. 지금까지 우리가 알기로는 내측세로다발은 실제 자기공명영상에서 구체적으로 묘사되지 않았다. 우리는 염증성 탈수초성 질환에서 자기공명영상에 내측세로다발의 전체 연결 과정을 보이는 증례를 보고한다.

Submucous cleft palate is a relatively uncommon congenital anomaly accompanying velopharyngeal incompetence(VPI). Double opposing Z-plasty has many advantages including prolongation of soft palate, normal midfacial growth, midline scar. We analyzed postoperative results comparing with those of preoperative evaluation by several variables(nasometer, endoscopy, satisfactory scale) in 14 patients treated with double opposing Z-plasty due to submcous cleft palate. Nasalance score in Ah sound, Ma phrase, and Pa phrase decreased 20.23%, 3.25%, and 23.26% in the average, respectively. As a result, hypernasality improved significantly. Closure rate in velum evaluated by endoscopy was increased from 0.44 to 0.76. In objective satisfactory scale checked by each patient's guardian at the postoperative period, much improved in 3, improved in 6, minimally improved in 1, and no difference in 1 was reported. (n=11 patients) Double opposing B-plasty is a good surgical modality in patients accompanying VPI with submucous cleft palate or incomplete cleft palate and will be used more usefully and widely.

Thyroglossal duct cyst is a congenital anomaly generally appearing as an asymptomatic midline neck mass. Generally, the duct cyst is benign, but 1 percent of cases may be malignant. These present the same histologic types as thyroid carcinomas. The most common pathologic type is papillary carcinoma. Regional lymph node metastasis of papillary carcinomas in thyroglossal cyst occurs in 7.7 percent of cases. Prognosis of papillary carcinoma is excellent. The treatment has been quite variable, but the most common initial treatment is Sistrunk's operation. Adequate excision of cyst and its tract including the mid-portion of the hyoid bone is the treatment of choice. We experienced two cases of papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cyst between 1986 and 2002.

The aim of this report was to present a rare case of a tracheotomy site recurrence after operation and post-operative radiotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patient. Tracheotomy site recurrence other than subglottic cancer is very rare in head and neck cancer patient. The granulation tissue around tracheotomy was a fertile "soil" for tumor cell implantation. Midline mucosal sparing block which was used to decreased acute toxicity during post-operative radiotherapy could be facilitating the tumor cell implantation. The head and neck surgeon should try every effort to reduce contamination of cancer cells during operation and consider the entire operative field should be included in post-operative radiation portals.

Osteoma is benign tumor composed of mature compact or cancellous bone. Generally it is classified as periosteal(or peripheral) osteoma and endosteal(or central) osteoma by its origin. Clinically, periosteal osteoma on forehead is usually asymptomatic. From March 2002 to February 2005, We experienced 20 patients(23 cases) of histologically confirmed frontal osteoma. 20 patients are classified as sex, age, the number of osteoma, size, location and shape. Out of 20 patients, 16 were female and 4 were male in sex and mean age was 46. 18 patients have only one lesion but one patient has two lesions and another patient has three lesions. The size of osteoma varied from $7{\times}5{\times}3mm$ to $16{\times}14{\times}6mm$ and mean size is $12{\times}10{\times}5mm$. All osteomas were located at midline of forehead and shape of attachment was all sessile type. Surgical excision was superficial ostectomy through direct cutaneous incision or endoscopic approach. we obtained satisfactory result without specific complication.

Varying degrees of complications can occur after hyaluronic acid filler injections. Tissue necrosis due to interruption of the vascular supply is an early complication that can be severe. If the site of tissue necrosis due to the filler injection is the forehead, successfully reconstructing the region without distorting the key landmarks is challenging. We describe the case of a 50-year-old man who experienced widespread forehead skin necrosis after hyaluronic acid filler injection in the glabellar area. We successfully covered the forehead area with a $3{\times}4-cm^2$ midline necrotic tissue using the modified double-opposing rotation-advancement flap method. Although modified double-opposing rotation-advancement flap closure has the disadvantage of leaving a longer scar compared to conventional double-opposing rotation-advancement flap closure, the additional incision line made along the superior border of the eyebrow aids in camouflaging the scar and decreases eyebrow distortion. Therefore, it is believed that the modified double-opposing rotation-advancement flap technique is an excellent tool for providing adequate soft tissue coverage and minimal free margin distortion when reconstructing widespread skin necrosis in the central mid-lower forehead that can occur after filler injection in the glabellar area.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the flow interference between two adjacent undulating fish-like body, and its effect on the undulating propulsion. For this purpose, unsteady two dimensional incompressible flow calculations were conducted using an unstructured mesh flow solver, coupled with an overset mesh technique. To deal with mesh deformation due to fish locomotion, spring analogy is utilized. The fish body used in the simulation is constructed from the NACA0012 airfoil. The study indicates that the propulsion of undulating fish is proportional to frequency and wavelength of the midline oscillation when there is no adjacent fish. It also reveals that average thrust was increased when the vortex shedding from the tail was conserved well and pressure difference between upper and lower sides of the fish was magnified due to flow interference. From this study, which relative position and phase difference of locomotion between two fishes can generate maximum thrust was known among six different cases.
