This report describes a month-old female infant with a rare supracardiac type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection which have intrapulmonary drainage and small left atrium. The left pulmonary vein drained into right hilum via transverse common pulmonary vein, and then both pulmonary veins drained into superior vena cava via ascending connecting vein. This anomaly was sucessfully repaired by double patch technique.

Venous thromboembolism represents as an obstruction of a vein by a blood clot in the blood stream. The most common manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity. This article reviews the recent advances in this spectrum and introduces new drugs that will be used in venous thromboembolism in the near future.

We experienced one case of TAPVC patient who was 39 years old man with mild dyspnea on exertion and easy fatigability. He was the oldest patient among TAPVC which was reported in Korea. Preoperative echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization and angiogram revealed supracardiac type TAPVC drained through left innominate vein. An anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium, pericardial patch closure of ASD and ligation of left vertical vein were performed with extracorporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged with excellent general condition and has been well during 8 months follow-up.

Abdominal compartment syndrome is one cause of deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity. Although prophylactic dose of anticoagulation agent is safely started after 24~48 hours without the evidence of active bleeding, there may be bleeding complication related to invasive procedure which trauma victims undergo. Inferior vena cava filter should be considered in the treatment plan of this complex situation.

By employing the vinylite corrosion technique, the distribution of the hepatic vein within the liver in 50 Korean native goats was observed. 1. In 50 vinylite casts, the principal branches of hepatic vein are Vena hepatica sinistra, Vena hepatica sinistra et medialis, Vena heapati dextralateralis et medialis, Vena hepatica caudatorum, Vena hepatica dorsolateralits: three chief branches are Vena hepatica sinistra, Vena hepatica dextra, Vena hepatica caudatorum. 2. In the liver of Korean goat are recognized three lobes, i.e. Lobus sinister, Lobus dexter and Lobus caudate.

The problem of phlebothrombosis is an important one, not only because of its local effects, but because of the propensity for portions of the venous clot to berak off and travel back to the heart and into the pulmonary Artery. The result of pulmonary embolism, unfortunately is still as prominent a cause of death today as it was before the advant of modern advances in treatment and prevention. This paper reports a case of thrombosis of left common iliac vein left hypogastric vein and left common femoral vein, who had been bedmidden for two weeks because of left knee joint arthritis. Successfully treated with transabdominal direst venous thrombectomy and anticoagulant heparin. Authors also reviewed the references.

Identification and protection of the facial nerve is very important in the proper operation of the parotid tumor. Posterior approach which finds main trunk of the facial nerve by surgical landmark such as tragal pointer, tympanomastoid suture, and posterior belly of digastric muscle is most commonly used. In case of posterior located tumor, inferior approach may be used, in which the retromandibular vein is followed from the neck and inferior branch of the facial nerve is located. In general, the facial nerve lies superficial to the retromandibular vein. But we experienced the anomalous relationship of the facial nerve and the retromandibular vien. We report this case with a literature review.

Isolated cortical vein thrombosis (ICVT) is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of strokes. A 46-year-old woman presented with progressive left side weakness. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with $T2^*$-gradient echo ($T2^*$-GE) sequence showed long cord sign at the right frontal cortex. The patient was treated with low molecular weight heparin, followed by oral warfarin for 6 months. The 3-month follow-up MR imaging showed recanalization of the previously thrombosed cortical vein. She was completely recovered without neurological deficits after 6 months. This provides that MR imaging with $T2^*$-GE sequence can help to diagnosis the ICVT and outcomes of the ICVT are generally favorable.

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are abnormal arteriovenous connections that lie within the dura. Intraosseous DAVFs involving diploic venous system are extremely rare. A 46-year-old woman presented with headache and right pulsatile tinnitus for three weeks. The tinnitus started after yelling. Digital subtraction angiography revealed DAVF within the basal portion of right parietal bone along the middle meningeal artery (MMA) groove. The fistula was fed by frontal branch of right MMA and drained into right transverse sigmoid sinus junction through dilated middle meningeal vein. The intraosseous DAVF involving diploic vein was successfully obliterated with Onyx embolization via transarterial route.

The white leather-like playgorskite occurs as a vein in the Cretaceous sedimentary rocks in the Yeongsan area, Kyeongnam, Korea. It has been investigate by means of XRD, TEM, DTA-TG, IR and chemical analysis. The palygorskite vein is composed mostly of well-crystallized palygorskite. The wall rock of the vein is altered to smectite along both sides of the vein. According to TEM observation the palygorskite shows a fibrous habit. The sizes offibers are quite variable, ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 micron in length. From XRD data, the palygorskite has orthorhombic unit cell with a=12.726$\AA$, b=17.796$\AA$, c=5.1666$\AA$. The chemical formula of the palygorskite was calculated as [Si7.93Al0.07](Al1.91Fe+30.11Mg1.96)Ca0.01O20(OH)4(OH2)2.
