Eighty nine-year-old female patient admitted to our department via emergency room. On initial exam, she showed right facial swelling, irismus, pain, and poor oral hygiene. Tentative diagnosis was facial cellulitis. In spite of aggressive treatment such as antibiotic, incision and drainage, medically intensive therapy, she was dead with cardiopulmonary arrest and sepsis.

The patient, two-year-old female Maltese dog with recurrent facial cellulitis below the left eye was referred for further investigation to the Veterinary Medical Center, Chungbuk National University. There were no visible dental problems, but extraoral radiographs showed periapical bone lyses on the left maxillary third and fourth premolars. Affected teeth were extracted by closed extraction and communication between some extraction sockets and the facial lesion was confirmed using a periodontal explorer. The facial lesion was treated as open wound. During a followup of 3 weeks, the extraction site and lesion reveal normal healing. In this case, the dog was young and had no clinically significant dental problems, like gingivitis or periodontal pocket. This case suggests that the carnassial abscess occurred secondary to cellulitis.

Cellulitis, one of most common diseases of everyday life, is often overlooked for its significance. Although cellulitis does not cause or lead to serious problems usually, its possibility to cause lifethreatening problem should be known. In present case, a patient who had received acupuncture treatment a week earlier presented to the clinic with symptoms of facial cellulitis. The disease resolved within few weeks under empirical antibiotic treatment but recurred after 3 months. Under close history review of the patient, we found out that the patient had received craniectomy 20 years ago. The patient had blunt headache with no other neurological symptoms that could suspect cranial infection, but considering the risk originating from the patient's surgical history, brain computed tomography (CT) was taken. CT images revealed abscess formation in the subgaleal and epidural spaces. Craniotomy with abscess evacuation was done promptly. With additional antibiotic treatment postoperatively, the disease resolved, and the 1-month postoperative followup brain CT showed no signs of abscess formation.

The most common and the most serious complication of the burn is infection, which is to a certain extent inevitable in the light of present knowledge and experience. From the burn wound as a rule there may be cultured at any given time the prevailing flora of the individual patient and of the hospital attendants and ward environ ment. Even without contamination from outside sources, organisms embedded in hair follicles and sweat glands survive the sterilizing effects of heat and serve as potential sources of localized and systemic infection. With necrotic tissue serving as nutrient material for pathogens there may occur, in succession, cellulitis, extending necrosis, lymphangitis and final septicemia. This is to report a case of osteomyelitis due to facial burn of 32 year old Korean male. The authors treated the patient by curettage and thin split thickness skin graft. The post operative course was uncomplicated and result was excellent.

치외치는 치아의 교합면에 부가적인 교두나 돌기(tubercle)를 가진 치아의 형태 이상이다. 치외치는 1-4%의 유병율을 보이며 하악 소구치에서 발생 빈도가 높다 치외치의 돌기는 쉽게 마모되거나 파절되어 치수 노출, 치수 생활력 상실, 안면부 감염, 골수염 등을 일으킬 수 있다. 또한, 돌기가 파절될 때 치외치의 치근단이 미성숙 상태인 경우가 많아 근관 치료가 쉽지 않다. 미성숙 영구치의 근관치료 시 수산화칼슘이 널리 사용되어 왔으나 내원 빈도 단축을 위해 여러 대체 재료들이 제안되어 왔다. 그 중 하나인 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate는 우수한 생체적합성과 변연 폐쇄성을 특징으로 하며, 미성숙 영구치의 근관치료 시 치료 기간을 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 증례보고에서는 치외치로 인한 치수 괴사로 봉와직염이 발생한 환자를 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate로 치료하였다. 미성숙 치근단을 가진 하악 소구치에 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate를 이용한 치근단형성술(apexification)을 시행하여 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 양호한 결과를 얻었으며, 한 증례에서는 치근단유도술(apexogenesis)의 결과와 같이 계속적인 치근 성장이 관찰되었다.

Deep neck infections mean infection in the potential spaces and facial planes of the neck, either abscess formation or cellulitis. Deep neck infections are caused by dental, salivary gland, pharyngeal and tonsillar infections. Sometimes, deep neck infection may be caused by tuberculosis in case of immunodefiecient patients. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) is a disease associated with defective cell-mediated immunity after infected with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV). The chance of opportunistic infection in patients of AIDS increases as the level of immunodeficienty progresses. Human immunodeficiency virus infection is the most single significant risk factor for progression of pulmonary tuberculosis to extrapulmonary sites. In patients infected with HIV, the rate of extrapulomonary tuberculosis rises upto $60\%$. We report a case of a 47 year old male patient with AIDS associated with deep neck infection by tuberculosis.

A 76-year-old woman, initially thought to have a simple abscess on her right upper eyelid, presented to our department of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Enhanced three-dimensional facial computed tomography (CT) revealed an abscess on the right upper lid, with a pyomucocele present in the right frontal sinus, accompanied by bone erosion in the superior wall of the right orbit. Based on the results of the CT scan, we diagnosed an atypical Pott's puffy tumor (PPT) with an abscess on the upper lid originating from the frontal sinusitis. First, surgical incision and drainage were performed in our department, and a percutaneous vacuum drain was placed. To provide a more definitive treatment, endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) was subsequently performed by otorhinolaryngologists. The patient was discharged without any complications 5 days after ESS. At a 1-year follow-up, no recurrence or notable neurological symptoms were observed. In the case we observed, the patient presented with an upper eyelid abscess and cellulitis, indicating possible orbital involvement. For such patients, a CT scan is necessary. Given the possibility of PPT, it is critical to perform a comprehensive differential diagnosis rather than defaulting to a straightforward approach involving abscess treatment.

This study was carried out to invastigate the researches of Snake Venom and snakes which used in treatment 1. The fist literature that used the snake for treatment is Shin Nong Ben Cao Jing 2. Composition of Snake Venom is consist of Enzymatic proteins ; Phospholipase A(A1-2), Protease, L-amino acid oxidase etc, and Non-enzymatic proteins ; Crotamine(Cytolysin), Proteolytic factor(Hematoxin), Crotoxin(Neurotoxin) etc. 3. Main toxins in Snake Venom are Hematoxin, Cytolysin, Neurotoxin and Cardiotoxin. Lethal dose 50 value of Agkistrodon brevicaudus is $45.87{\mu}g$/18g, Agkistrodon saxatilis is $10.28{\mu}g$/18g, Agkistrodon ussuriensis is $8.68{\mu}g$/18g, therefore Agkistrodon ussuriensis has strongist Snake Venom of all in Korea. 4.

Complication signs after snakebite are Cellulitis, Gastritis, Lympoma, Abscess etc. 9. Common function of Viperidae(Agkistrodon acutus or Zaocys dhumnades etc) is expelling the wind(祛風), removing obstruction in the channels(通絡), antipastic function(止痙). And it is used in order to cure hemiparesis, hemiplegia, facial palsy and CVA disease, etc. 10.

급성 상악동염의 원인으로는 급성 상기도 감염이 가장 흔하며 함치성 낭종 등의 치성원인에 의한 경우는 상악동염의 10-12%를 차지한다. 함치성 낭종은 주로 치과에서 우연한 방사선학적 검사에 의해 발견되며 소아에서는 드물게 보고되고 있다. 함치성 낭종이 과잉치와 동반되었을 때 주위 상악골의 파괴와 치근의 흡수를 야기하거나 침범된 치아의 변위를 유발할 수 있으므로, 조기 진단과 적절한 치료가 중요하다. 본 증례에서 콧물과 코막힘으로 부비동염으로 진단받았던 9세 남자 환아가 2개월 뒤 좌측안면부 연부조직염으로 내원하여 시행한 방사선학적 검사에서 좌측 상악동에 과잉치와 동반된 함기성 낭종이 관찰되었으며, 치료로 외과적 절제술을 시행하였다. 저자들은 소아에서 부비동염의 원인으로 과잉치를 동반한 감염된 함치성 낭종을 경험하였으며, 부비동염의 진단과 치료에 있어 항생제 치료로 호전되지 않거나 증상이 지속될 시 단순 상기도감염 합병증 외에 다른 질환의 감별을 고려할 것을 당부하는 바이다.
