Objective : The lateral extracavitary approach(LECA) to the thoracolumbar spine is known as one of procedure which allows not only direct vision of pathologic lesion, but also ventral decompression, and dorsal fixation of the spine through the same incision. However, some drawbacks of LECA, including the technically- demanding, time-consuming, unfamiliar surgical anatomy and excessive blood loss, make surgeons to hesitate to use this approach. This study is to provide the surgical anatomy of LECA using cadavers, for detailed informations when LECA is considered for the surgery. Methods : We performed the 10 cadaveric studies, 7 male and 3 female, and careful dissection was carried out on right side of thoracolumbar region, except one for thoracic region. The photographs with micro-lens were taken to depict the close-up findings and for demonstrating detailed anatomy. Results : The photographs and hand-drawings demonstrated the relationships among the musculature, segmental vessels and nerve roots seen during each dissection plane. The lateral branches of dorsal rami of spinal nerve and the transverse process were confirmed to be the most important landmark of this approach. Conclusion : We concluded that detailed anatomical findings for LECA through this step-by-step dissection would be useful during operative intervention to reduce the intraoperative complications in LECA.

Objectives : Anterior tunnelling technique consist of anterior cervical fractional interspace decompression without fusion. This method provides sufficient space for adequate neuroforaminal decompression but avoids the need for fusion or fixation. We report early clinical results of 32 cases that underwent anterior tunnelling operation for treatment of cervical radiculopathy. Methods : This method is identical to conventional approach until the exposure of anterior cervical body and bilateral retraction of longus colli is made. A vertical window is then made at the vertebral bodies and disc space lateral to the insertion site of the longus colli. The window is deepened with drilling that follows a tunnelling fashion down to the compressive lesion. We analyzed clinical results from 32 patients who treated between December 1998 and August 2000. Results : Satisfactory results were obtained in 87% of the patients. Two patients required revision surgery. None revealed surgical spinal instability on last follow-up. Conclusion : Anterior tunnelling operation is an acceptable surgical option for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. Its advantages are short hospitalization, minimal postoperative discomfort, and technical feasibility.

결합조직형성 섬유종은 드문 골종양으로 조직학적으로는 양성이나 국소적으로 빨리 자라는 질환이다. 두개골에 발생한 결합조직형성 섬유종은 지금까지 9례가 보고되고 있으며, 이 중 8명은 여자에서 발생하다. 이 논문은 남자에서 발생한 두개골 결합조직형성 섬유종을 보고하며, 문헌을 검토하여, 이 질환의 임상양상 및 조직학적소견, 그리고 치료방법등을 보고하고자 한다. 환자는 21세 남자로 두통을 호소하으며, 두부 전산화 단층 촬상 뇌을 침습한 소견이 없는 단일 골용해성 부위가 관찰되었으며, 조직학적 검사상 결합조직형성 섬유종으로 밝혀졌다. 면역조직화학적 염색상, 종양의 에스트로겐과 프로게스테론 수용기는 음성이었다. 정상골을 포함한 종양을 전적출하으며, 35개월간 추적관찰결과 재발소견은 없었다. 다른 부위의 결합조직형성 섬유종과 비교했을 때, 종양의 정상골을 포함한 전적출이 두개골에서 가능하므로, 재발이 없는 것으로 생각되며, 남자에서 발생한 결합조직형성 섬유종을 치험하기에 문헌검토와 함께 보고하는 바이다. Desmoplastic fibroma(DF) is a rare neoplasm of the bone, and is histologically benign but locally aggressive disease. A total of nine cases of DF involving skull have been reported in the literature, and among these eight are females. In this report, the clinical findings and histopathology of a case with DF of the skull in a male patient is presented with a review of the literature with an emphasis on treatment modalities. A 21-year-old man presented with headache. CT scan revealed a solitary and lytic skull lesion without brain invasion. DF was confirmed by histological evaluation. On immunohistochemical staining of the tumor was negative for estrogen or progesterone receptors. After total resection of tumor with wide surgical margin, there was no recurrence during the 35 months of follow-up period. Although longer follow up period maybe needed, treatment of this type of tumor with complete resection of tumor tissue along with a wide margin may provide long disease-free state compare to the high recurrence rates in DF of other sites.

Spinal osteochondroms are very rare, and are thought to arise through a process of progressive endochondral ossification of aberrant cartilage of a growth plate, as a consequence of congenital defect or trauma. A case of diffuse type osteochondroma involving the posterior elements of L1-L5 that progressed after laminectomy in a 33-year-old man is reported. Usually, the spinal osteochondroma shows clear demarcation between tumor margin and normal spine elements, and can be exised completely. However, there was no clear demarcation between tumor and normal spine element in our case and therefore it was not possible to removal completely.

해마 조직 절편 배양을 이용한 무산소 손상에 대한 MK-801, CNQX, Cycloheximide 및 BAPTA-AM의 효과

Objective : Glutamate induced excitotoxicity is one of the leading causes of cell death under pathologic condition. However, there is controversy whether excitotoxicity may also participate in the neuronal death under low intensity insult such as simple hypoxia or hypoglycemia. To investigate the role of NMDA receptor in low intensity insult, we chose anoxia as the method of injury and used organotypically cultured hippocampal slice as the material of experiment. Materials & Methods : The hippocampal slices cultured for 2-3 weeks were exposed to 60 minutes of complete oxygen deprivation(anoxia). Neuronal death was assessed with Sytox stain. Corrected optical density of fluorescence in gray scale, used as cellular death indicator, was obtained from pictures taken at 24 and 48 hours following the insult. The well-known in vivo phenomenon of regional difference in susceptibility of hippocampal sub-fields to ischemic insult was reproduced in HOSC(hippocampal organotypic slice culture) by complete oxygen deprivation injury. Results : $CA_1$ was the most vulnerable to complete oxygen deprivation in hippocampus while $CA_3$ was resistant. Oxygen deprivation for 10 and 20 minutes with glucose(6.5g/l) present was insufficient to induce neuronal death in the cultured hippocampal slice. However, after 30 minutes exposure under anoxic condition, neuronal death was able to be detected in the center of $CA_1$ area. The intensity and area of fluorescence indicating cell death correlated with the duration of oxygen deprivation. NMDA receptor and non-NMDA receptor blocking with MK-801(30 & $60{\mu}M$) and CNQX($100{\mu}M$) did not provide cellular protection to HOSC against damage induced by oxygen deprivation, but increased intracellular calcium buffering capacity with BAPTA-AM($10{\mu}M$) was effective in preventing neuronal death (p=0.01, Student's t-test). Cycloheximide($1{\mu}g/ml$, $10{\mu}g/ml$) provided no protection to HOSC against insult of complete oxygen deprivation for 60 minutes and combined therapy of MK-801(30 & $60{\mu}M$) and cycloheximide(1 & $10{\mu}g/ml$) was also ineffective in preventing neuronal death. Conclusion : The results of this study show that the another mechanism not associated with glutamate receptor(NMDA & non NMDA) may play major role in cell death mechanisms induced by complete oxygen deprivation and increased intracellular calcium during anoxia may participate in the neuronal death mechanism of oxygen deprivation. Further investigation of the calcium entry channel activated during oxygen deprivation is necessary to understand the neuronal death of anoxia.

Diverse pathological types of tumor are known to occur in the orbital space, although not common. Object of this study was to evaluate and analyze the characteristics of these uncommon tumors that were undertaken operatively in past ten years. Moreover, choice of surgical approaches for various types of tumor was reconsidered. A total of 55 cases operated in our institution from 1988 to 1998 were included in this study. Primary intraocular tumors, e.g., retinoblastoma, and those arising from appendages were excluded. Age distribution, sex ratio, symptomatology, radio- histopathological types, and surgical methods with their results were analysed. Age distribution was 1 to 60 years with average of 29.1 years. Male to female ratio was 26:29. The most common symptom was exopthalmos(40%). Radiologic findings were related to types of pathology. Pseudotumor(16.3%), dermoid(14.6%), meningioma(10.9%), neurilemmoma(10.9%), hemangioma(9.1%) were among more common histologic types. Various surgical approaches were applied according to types and locations of tumors including two-step supraorbital approach. There were 8 cases of recurrence in whom reoperations were necessary. Most of postoperative cosmetic results were acceptable. Wide variety of histologic types of orbital tumors can be seen with recurrences in some cases. Thus, careful selection of surgical plan seems to be mandatory for good functional outcome.

Oligodendrogiomas account for about 4 per cent of intracranial gliomas and surgery is known to be an essential first step to establish an accurate diagnosis and when oligodendrogliomas recur with or without anaplastic features after initial resection, radiation and chemotherapy consisting of the administration of procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine are usually indicated. We report our experience of an excellent result with intraventricular methotrexate chemotherapy for a patient with disseminated anaplastic oligodendroglioma. A 29-year-old male patient presented with diplopia and headache for two months. MRI showed a irregular, faintly enhanced mass in the posterior fossa. The hisotological diagnosis was an anaplaplastic oligodendroglioma and he was treated with chemotherapy of PCV regimen and radiotherapy followed by surgery. CSF dissemination was revealed by a follow-up MRI during the period. Intraventricular methotrexate(0.175mg/kg) was given twice a week for 4 weeks through ommaya reservoir and the size of the multiple tumors was decreased significantly on follow-up MRI. This case report suggests that an aggressive treatment involving intravent-ricular chemotherapy may be helpful even when anaplastic oligodendrogliomas disseminates to leptomeninges.

Objective : The anterior communicating artery(ACoA) is known to be the most frequent location of intracranial aneurysms, but the complex arterial anatomy of the ACoA region makes this aneurysm among the most difficult one to treat. In the treatment of ACoA aneurysms, the direction of aneurysmal fundus is known to be very important in the surgical tactics. All ACoA aneurysms in our series were classified according to its direction, and analyzed the clinical features in order to investigate the prognostic factors influencing upon the surgical outcome. Methods : The authors reviewed 236 cases of ruptured ACoA aneurysms that were operated from 1990 to 1997, were classified according to Pia's classification. Results : The incidence rate of the ACoA aneurysm was 35.1%(236/672). Ventral group was more common than dorsal group, especially in ventro-caudal projection subgroup(36.0%). Poor preoperative clinical grade(Hunt-Hess grade IV and V) patients were more common in dorsal group(13.1%) than ventral group(2.6%). Rebleeding and intracerebral hematoma were more commonly seen in ventral group. However, vasospasm, hydrocephalus, hyponatremia, and intraventricular hemorrhage were observed more frequently in dorsal group. Worse outcome was more common in dorsal group than ventral group, especially in dorso-caudal projection subgroup. Also, poor outcome was identified in patients with intracerebral hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, hyponatremia, and hypertension, although statistically insignificant. In cases with the A1 dominancy, there was no difference in surgical outcome between the right and left side approach. The higher the aneurysmal neck from the planum sphenoidale, the worse outcome via pterional approach. Conclusion : It seems that the preoperative clinical grade, aneurysmal direction, and the height of aneurysmal neck, especially in the pterional approach, would be the major prognostic factors, and that intracerebral hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, hyponatremia, hydrocephalus and the intraoperative aneurysmal rupture would be the minor prognostic factors.

당뇨 환자에서 경막외 농양과의 감별을 요한 원발성 척추 경막외 임파종 - 증례보고 -

척추 경막외 임파종은 전체 임파종의 7%정도를 차지하며, 가장 흔한 증상으로 척수 압박 증세를 유발하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그 중에서도 원발성 척추 경막외 임파종, 즉 다른 장기의 침범 소견 없이 척추에만 국한되어 나타난 임파종은, 당뇨병 환자에서 급성 척수 압박 증상으로 나타났을 때, 척추 경막외 농양과의 감별을 요한다. 저자들은 48세의 여자 당뇨 환자에서 흉추부의 통증으로 내원 1개월 전까지 여러 차례 침술치료를 받고 난 후 통증이 악화되고 급성 하반신 부전마비와 배뇨 장애 및 감염 징후가 있어 본원에 내원하여, 병력과 제반 검사상 수술전에 척추 경막외 농양으로 진단되었던 원발성 척추 경막외 임파종 1례를 수술 치험하고 보고하는 바이다. Primary spinal epidural lymphoma(SEL), i.e. occurring in the absence of any detectable extraspinal lymphoproliferative disorder, is an unusual cause of spinal cord compression. The authors report a 48-year-old, diabetic woman presented with back pain followed by acute paraparesis and voiding difficulty. She had been treated with acupunctures on her back before admission, and complete blood count showed leukocytosis with neutrophilia and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR). Thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) revealed an epidural mass extending from T5 to T8 with compression of the spinal cord. Emergency decompressive laminectomy was performed with a tentative diagnosis of spinal epidural abscess, but a B-cell lymphoma was final pathologic diagnosis. Further staging showed no other sites of lymphoma, and the spinal lesion was treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The authors stress that primary SEL can mimic spinal epidural abscess(SEA) in the diabetic patient and should be a diagnostic consideration in patients with a syndrome of acute spinal cord compression manifested by a prodrome of back pain and neuroimaging consistent with an epidural compressive lesion, especially in a diabetic.

SAPHO syndrome is an acronym for an increasingly recognized syndrome of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis. Most of the previously reported case are from Japan and Europe. The authors report a case of SAPHO syndrome in Korean female who presented with extrasternal neurologic symptoms. A 60-year-old female with thoracic and right chest wall pain presented with the sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis, and recurrent aseptic osteitis. Previously, she had hystrectomy and thyroidectomy due to uterine malignancy 25 years ago. Also, she started to take medications for palm and sole pustulosis 7 days prior to admission. Through evaluation of clinical, radiological, serological studies, studies was done along with bone needle biopsy for the biological reassessment. The hyperostosis was found in the pedicles of thoracic 8, 9, 10 vertebrae and sternoclavicular joint. Radio-isotope bone scan showed an accumulation of tracer in thoracic vertebra. The bone biopsy from these site showed increased osseous turnover, thickening of trabeculae accompanied by mild acculuation of granulation tissue and round cell infiltration, compatible with mild chronic inflammation with marrow fibrosis. The patient showed good response to conservative management. The authors report a case of SAPHO syndrome with thoracic radiculopathy. It is considered that SAPHO syndrome is related to spondyloarthropathy, and appears to have benign disease process with good prognosis.
