A subperiosteal ganglion is a very rare benign soft tissue tumor characterized by mucoid degeneration and cyst formation within the periosteum, which may results in cortical erosion. When evaluating a periosteal mass in out-patient clinic, ultrasonography can be used to define the location and cystic nature of the subperiosteal ganglion. A 48 years old woman had two month history of the protruding mass over the anteromedial aspect of right proximal tibia. Ultrasonography was used for the diagnosis of the subperiosteal ganglion in out-patient clinic and mass was excised uneventfully. We report the case of a subperiosteal ganglion of the proximal tibia with literature review.

Osteoid osteoma, a frequent lesions of bone, is usually intraosseous but occasionally subperiosteal. We describe the case of a 19-year-old male with knee pain caused by subperiosteal osteoid osteoma. Radiologic evaluation was performed with radiographic, computed tomography (CT), ultrasonographic (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). But the preoperative diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was delayed because of unusual imaging findings and atypical symptom. After excisional biopsy, histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. The lesion was treated successfully with CT-guided radiofrequency ablation.

The authors present a case of subperisoteal orbital hematoma which is extended from subgaleal hematoma. A 15-year-old-male was admitted with a complaint of multiple visual symptoms of left eye following blunt head trauma. He has suffered from Wilson's disease. Several coagulative laboratory findings were abnormal(fibrinogen and coaguation factor V, X). Computed tomography, sonography and magnetic resonance imaging established the subperiosteal orbital extension of subgaleal hematoma into the orbital cavity. Needle aspiration of orbital subperiosteal hematoma was failed but symptoms and signs of the patient were much improved spontaneously following decrease of subgaleal hematoma. The literature is reviewed and management is discussed.

It has been reported that hematoma is one of the most crucial factors in fracture healing since callus formation is disturbed by washing out the hematoma near a fracture site. However, it is not clear why the hamatoma is important and how it plays a role during the fracture healing. In order to investigate the role of hematoma in the process of fracture healing, the osteogenic potential by subperiosteal transplantation have been studied. Experimental fractures by operation were made at the mid-shaft of the tibia in New Zealand white rabbits. Removal of hematoma at the fracture site was done after 2 and 3 days from experimental fracture, and the removed hematoma was transplanted into the subperiosteal area at the mid-shaft of the ulna of each rabbit. As control groups, we have performed 3 different procedures 1) the hematoma was transplanted into the muscular layers at the thigh and forearm; 2) autologous blood clots were transplanted into the subperiosteal area of the ulna; and 3) sham operation without a transplantation into the subperiosteal area. After transplantation, serial bone scintigraphy and simple radiography were performed at 4 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks to detect an abnormality. The results of bone scintigraphy were positive in 5 of 6 experimental group. However, all in three control groups were negative. Histological observation of the positive bone revealed new bone formation with trabeculation. These results suggest the hematoma in fracture site has osteogenic potential in the subperiosteal area which can be demonstrable by bone scintigraphy and histologic findings. Therefore, it is considered that hematoma of the fracture site plays an important role in the process of fracture healing. Further biochemical investigation using various experimental models is mandatory to apply this preliminary result to the treatment of clinical delayed union or nonunion.

In some blepharochalasis patients, upper blepharoplasty alone is not satisfactory because of narrow distance between eyebrow and eyelash. On that occasion, eyebrow lift is advisable. There are many methods of classical eyebrow lift, such as direct excision, transblepharoplasty approach, anterior hairline technique, and so on. But they are not so effective, have a tendency to recur and also give rise to side effects; unacceptable scar, facial nerve palsy, sensory loss and hematoma, etc. Some patients who have prominent nasolabial folds, are reluctant to perform face lift procedure due to psychologic or economic burden. The authors performed the eyebrow lift procedure separately or simultaneously with face lift or forehead lift. After making 2 or 3 slit incisions, we passed absorbable suture material, 3-0 vicryl, through suborbicularis oculi fat layer. Then it was passed through subperiosteal plane and fixated to the temporalis fascia. When patients complain prominent nasolabial folds, malar fat pad was elevated also in the same manner. This methods is effective and has minimal complication such as facial nerve palsy, scar, sensory loss. Recurrent tendency was rarely observed during follow-up. Dimples were observed at slit incision sites but they disappeared within 2 or 3 weeks. Eyebrow lift and malar fat lift by absorbable suture elevation with subperiosteal dissection is a simple and less morbid. Because of its effectiveness and little side effect or complication, this procedure can be a useful method.

A 61-years old man with diabetes mellitus(DM) was admitted to our hospital, complaining of progressive right periorbital swelling, headache and toothache on the right lower second molar. On the first visit, moderate swelling was noticed from the right periorbital region with exophthalmos and subconjunctival effusion. Intraorally, right lower second molar had a severe periodontal disease and fistular formation on its distal area. From 3 days after hospitalization, the visual acuity of his right eye was gradually worsen and we performed CT scan. CT scan demonstrated an inflammatory change at the right orbit with subperiosteal abscess at the inferior orbital wall, which was extended from the right infratemporal, parapharyngeal and internal pterygoid space. Patient was treated by mean of intraoral(right upper vestibular and retromolar) and extraoral(infraorbital) incision and drainage, massive anti-therapy and DM control. The patient improved gradually and finally was discharged from the hospital, but his visual loss of right side was not recovered.

Statement of the problem: In case of poor bone quality or immediately loaded implant, various strategies have been developed focusing on the surface of materials to improve direct implant fixation to the bone. The microscopic properties of implant surfaces play a major role in the osseous healing of dental implant. Purpose of study: This study was undertaken to evaluate bone response of ion beam-assisted deposition(IBAD) of hydroxyapatite(HA) on the anodized surface of subperiosteal titanium implants. Material and methods: Two half doughnut shape subperiosteal titanium implants were made. The control group was treated with Anodized surface treatment and the test group was treated with IBAD of HA on control surface. Then two implants inserted together into the subperiosteum of the skull of 30 rats and histological response around implant was observed under LM(light microscope) and TEM(transmission electron microscope) on 4th, 6th and 8th week. Results: Many subperiosteal implants were fixed with fibrous connective tissue not with bony tissue because of weak primary stability. The control group observed poor bone response and there was no significant change at any observation time. However the test group showed advanced bone formation and showed direct bone to implant contact under LM on 8th week. The test group observed much rER in the cell of osteoblast but the control group showed little rER under TEM. Conclusions: The test group showed better bone formation than the control group at the condition of weak primary stability. With these results IBAD surface treatment method on Anodized surface, may be good effect at the condition of weak primary stability.

A 58-year old woman with no molar teeth on her upper left side wanted these missing teeth to be replaced with a fixed implant prosthesis. Incision, from distal to 2nd premolar to hamulus, was performed and impression of canine fossa anteriorly, zygoma buccally, pterygoid hamulus posteriorly and palatal groove lingually was taken by Optosil (Bayer Dent.). The implant frame was made of Vitallium, and was inserted the next day after the impression had been taken. 12-days later, the 4-units fixed prosthesis was constructed. The patient was extremely comfortable, had no pain, and was able to chew food more efficiently.

Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) is known as an anomaly consisting of respiratory obstruction with glossoptosis, micrognathia and cleft palate in a newborn. The etiology of PRS is not known, but several factors may be involved simultaneously. Mortality rate of PRS is about 5~30% and the treatment method is divided into both conventional treatments and surgical interventions. If the respiratory obstruction is not resolved by the conventional method, surgical treatment, such as subperiosteal release of the floor of the mouth, tongue-lip adhesion, tracheostomy, distraction osteogenesis may be needed. This study reports a case of PRS in a newborn male at 20 days, with dyspnea and feeding difficulties. Clinical examination showed micrognathia with glossoptosis and cleft palate as the typical PRS triad. We tried surgical intervention with subperiosteal release of the floor of the mouth and tongue-lip adhesion and surgery was successful. At $19^{th}$ months, we also repaired the incomplete cleft palate successfully using 2-Flap palatoplasty.
