Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the thoracic spine is rare, even in the Far East. A 45-year-old female presented with a 4month history of progressive motor weakness in the lower extremities, numbness below the midthoracic area, and spastic gait disturbance. Neuroradiological examinations revealed massive OPLLs at the T4-T6 levels with severe anterior compression of the spinal cord. Anterior decompressive corpectomies with bone grafts were performed from T4 to T6 using a trans-thoracic approach. After surgery, the patient made an uneventful recovery. However, eleven years after surgery, the patient developed recurrent lower extremity weakness and spastic gait disturbance. De novo OPLLs at the C6-T2 levels were responsible for the severe spinal cord compression on this occasion. After second surgery, paralysis in both legs was resolved. We present a rare case of late cervicothoracic OPLL in a patient surgically treated for thoracic OPLL.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiac knowledge and symptoms recognition between men and women with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Cross-sectional survey research design and convenience sampling were used in this study. 64 men and 42 women from a university medical center were participated in this study. Data collection were used with self reported questionnaires and medical records. Results: There was no difference in cardiac knowledge by gender. Women marked the higher score in symptoms recognition than men. Significant gender differences were observed in the reports of several symptoms (headache, nausea, palpitation, hand paresthesia, and leg numbness) and with ACS. There was significant correlation between cardiac knowledge and symptom recognition on both men and women. Conclusion: These findings suggest that health care professionals should pay attention to the differences in clinical symptoms between women and men. Furthermore, tailored information about possible symptoms of coronary artery disease according to the patient's gender is needed.

Purpose: The study was done to identify the relationship of treatment side effects, family support, and quality of life in patients with cancer, and factors influencing quality of life. Method: A convenience sample of 106 patients who were receiving cancer treatment at W hospital were interviewed using the Side Effects scale by Hur, Family Support scale by Kang, and QOL scale by Ro. Result: Results indicate that women experienced more severe side effects than men. There was a negative relationship between side effects and quality of life, and a positive relationship between family support and quality of life. The most bothersome side effects were changes in taste and appetite, followed by general weakness and fatigue. Side effects such as loss of hair, nausea, dizziness, numbness, pins and needles in fingers and toes, and dry mouth were also experienced. General weakness and family support were analysed as to whether they were factors influencing quality of life.

Inflammatory pseudotumor was originally described in the lung, but recently has been recognized to occur in various sites. A 56-year-old female was referred to our department with a painless swelling of the right midfacial area since 3 months ago. Clinical examination showed non-specific intraoral findings, but asymmetric facial appearance and numbness of the right midfacial area. Plain radiographs and CT images showed aggressive destruction and irregular thickening of the right maxillary sinus wall, increased antral opacification, and destruction of the zygomatic arch. A relatively well-defined soft tissue mass occupied the right maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, zygoma, and infraorbital region. The soft tissue mass showed mild enhancement on CT. Radiographically, this lesion presented a rapidly enlarging mass demonstrating aggressive behavior, mimicking a malignant tumor. Histopathologic examinations showed plasma cells and inflammatory cells in variable fibrotic tissues and demonstrated positive reactivity for vimentin. No malignent changes could be found.
