  • Trigeminal schwannoma is an uncommon intracranial tumor and constitutes less than 0.08-8% of all intracranial schwannoma. Trigeminal shchwannoma is even rarer in childhood and only 11 cases of trigeminal schwannoma under the age of 14 have been reported including our case. We experienced a case of trigeminal schwannoma in a 9 year-old girl without the stigmata of neurofibromatosis. She presented with a 2 week-history of right abducens nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance image demonstrated a dumbbell-shaped tumor extending into right middle and posterior fossas with a size of $60{\times}45{\times}35mm$. The tumor was successfully removed by right transzygomatic subtemporal extradural approach. Pathologic examination of the mass revealed typical features of schwannoma.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between spinal distortion and pain in elementary and middle school students. Methods : Using the phase-shifting moire developed by KAIST(Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) we measured the back surface distortion, and using questionnaire investigation, we investigated the partial pain in 1008 elementary and middle school students(532 boy students(52.8%), 476 girl students(47.2%)) in Seoul in 1999. And, we statistically analyzed the relationship between spinal distortion and partial body pain Results : This study show that the more age increase, the more the pain in head, neck, shoulder, back and low back Increase considerably among the students aged 9 to 15. The ratio of each partial body pain was 28.4%, 19.7%, 18.2%, 18.7%. 16.0% at the age of 9 and 59.7%, 67.4%, 51.8%, 51.8%, 64.4% at the age of 15 respectively. And, it was shown there was a significant correlation between spine distortion and partial body pain area. When the spinal distortion was found at the upper thoracic and cervical area, the students complained the more pain on head, neck and shoulder(p<0.05) and when the spinal distortion was found at the sacral base, the more headache(p<0.05) Conclusions : It is suggested that the significant correlation exist between the spinal distortion and pain and the pain related to spine disorder get more increase as students grow. We have to study further more about Juvenile postural distortion and it's prevention.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the association between physical activity and vitamin D deficiency status among Korean adolescents. Methods: This is cross-sectional analysis of Korean adolescents aged 10-18 years from the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES 2010-2012; n=2,384). We estimated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and identified the correlations with the strength of physical activity. $x^2$ test, t-test, and multiple logistic regression using complex sample analysis were done. The odds ratio of vitamin D deficiency by physical activity was calculated using complex sample multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 78.2%. The mean serum 25 (OH) D level in deficiency group and non-deficiency group was 14.4ng/mL, 23.7ng/mL respectively. Differences by age strata (the prevalence ranging from 68.5% to 86.3%) and gender (78.6% for boy and 84.5% for girl) were identified. Among adolescents aged 16-18 or girl in vigorous physical activity, a significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and physical activity was observed, whereas no significant correlation were found among adolescents in moderate physical activity. Conclusion: In conclusion, vigorous physical activity was associated with vitamin D deficit in Korean adolescents. Thus, intervention programs enhancing vigorous activity than moderate activity need to be developed in schools and community.

  • Cowden syndrome is very rare clinical condition with characteristic mucocutaneous lesions associated with abnormalities of the breast, thyroid, and gastrointestinal tract. Here, the case of a 16-year-old girl with diverse gastrointestinal polyposis with breast and thyroid lesions is reported as a definite case of Cowden syndrome. During follow up for 4 years, changes in the characteristic lesions were observed; Esophageal acanthosis and oropharyngeal polyps were newly developed. Gastric, duodenal, rectal and ileal polyps were noted at the first visit when she was 12 years of age and revealed histologically hyperplastic polyps. Mucocutaneous lesions, the pathognomonic finding of Cowden syndrome, were not noted at the first visit or during the follow up period. Breast and thyroid masses were noted at the first visit. Breast aspiration showed highly cellular ductal epithelial fragments and fibroblastic stromal cell fragments, and a thyroid biopsy shows proliferation of irregular sized follicles, with variable colloid contents. Macrocephaly was also noted at the first visit. The characteristic lesions of Cowden syndrome change with the patient's age, and the long-term follow up is recommended in cases suspected with this syndrome.

  • Purpose: This descriptive study was to explore the factors relating to Social Physique Anxiety(SPA) in the adolescent girls(N=700). These factors included the biological(level of school[age], period of menstruation, and BMI), the sociocultural(Influence of Mass Media, [IMM], Stereotype of Ideal Female Body[SIFB], type of school, perceived figure, and ideal figure) and the BW control-related factors(experience of bodyweight [BW] control, satisfaction at the result of BW control, and motive of BW control). Method: The sample was 700 girls of the middle and high schools in Jeju-do. The data was collected by the self-reported questionnaire and processed with the SPSS Win 12.0 program. Result: 26% of the variance in SPA was explained by the biological factors(level of school) and the sociocultural factors (perceived figure, ideal figure, type of school, and IMM). SPA, IMM, and SIFB were significantly correlated with each others(r=1,65-2.92, p<.05). The mean SPA scores according to BW control-related factors were significantly different. Conclusion: This results suggest that media education is necessary to reduce or eliminate the adolescent girl's SPA. In addition, SPA needs to be considered as the important concept for the future nursing researches and interventions related to BW control.

  • A 10-year-old-girl was referred to our hospital due to abdominal pain. She underwent Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy for a choledochal cyst at another hospital at the age of 3 months. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) showed type I choledochal cyst and multiple gallbladder stones. Because of severe inflammation and adhesion, partial resection of the choledochal cyst and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed. Two and one half years later, intermittent abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting occured. Abdominal CT scan showed a polypoid nodular lesion in the remnant of the choledochal cyst and probable metastasis at segment 7 of the liver. The duodenum was obstructed by the mass. Liver biopsy revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. A palliative gastrojejunostomy was performed to relieve duodenal obstruction. She died of hepatic insufficiency 4 months later.

  • Ossifying fibroma is one of a group of fibro-osseous lesions which arises typically within the jaw bones and only rarely affects the long bones. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones almost involve exclusively the tibia but may also involve the fibula. Ossifying fibroma of the long bones is distinct from fibrous dysplasia, adamantinoma and nonossifying fibroma with regard to age of the patient, site, radiographic appearance, histological features, and clinical course. We are reporting the cases of seven patients with a tumor-like lesion that named osteofibrous dysplasia. It is most commonly found in the tibia and fibula of a child ten years of age or younger. Of the seven cases reported in this study, only one patient was younger than ten years. In all cases, the lesions were usually located in the tibial diaphysis. The average duration of clinical manifestation was 5.2 years. The clinical symptoms were anterior bowing of the tibia in 2 cases, buldging of the tibia in 2 cases, and mass overlying the tibia in 3 cases. On the roentgenography, it shows multiple radiolucent lesion with intervening sclerotic rim of the tibial diaphysis. In seven patients, 6 cases were confirmed with biopsy. We had done curettage and bone graft in three cases, VFG was done in one case. The other three cases underwent conservative management.

  • This is a case report of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with Atrial septal defect, which was corrected surgically by intracardiac procedure under total cardiopulmonary bypass. This 9 years old girl, she complained mild cyanosis, exertional dyspnea, and frequent upper respiratory infection from 3 months age. The chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and a "snow man appearance", she has systolic murmur with splitting of S2. The diagnosis was confirmed with right heart catheterization, the catheter was reached to right pulmonic vein passed through right atrium, right superior vena cava, innominate vein, left superior vena cava, and common venous trunk. On 28th, Dec. 1979, an anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium, Pericardial patch closure of ASD, and ligation of left superior vena cava were performed with Extra-corporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged with excellent general condition.Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage with A.S.D. with A.S.D.

  • This study is a review of the clothing behavior of kidult group that is a new minority group in 21st century. Kidult is the compound word of kid and adult and refers the persons who have become adults but with the inclination to focus on childlike culture and consumption. As the background of the appearance of the kidult group these days, the prevalence of throwback fashions, high valuation of appearance, the phenomenon to prefer light things caused by economic depression, the individualism that does not care about others and the ageless phenomenon that the consumptions are mind age oriented, may be pointed out. The most prominent cloth behavioral characters of the kidult group are that they enjoy bounding color combinations such as candy color and. that cute t-shirts, crop pants and volume skirts of girlish look are easily found. Also, they enjoy toy-like ornaments and illustrated clothes or accessories and the school uniform fashion implying nostalgia for girl-hood and lovely make-up indicate the kidult inclination.
