Objective : Somatosensory evoked potentials(SSEPs) have been used widely both experimentally and clinically to monitor the function of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Studies of SSEPs have reported the various recording techniques and patterns of SSEP. The previous SSEP studies used scalp recording electrodes, showed mean vector potentials which included relatively constant brainstem potentials(far-field potentials) and unstable thalamocortical pathway potentials(near-field potentials). Even in invasive SSEP recording methods, thalamocortical potentials were variable according to the kinds, depths, and distance of two electrodes. So they were regarded improper method for monitoring of upper level of brainstem. The present study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of somatosensory evoked field potentials(SSEFPs) of the cerebral cortex that evoked by hindlimb stimulation using ball electrode and the pathways of SSEFP by recording the potentials simultaneously in the cortex, VPL nucleus of thalamus, and nucleus gracilis. Methods : In the first experiment, a specially designed recording electrode was inserted into the cerebral cortex perpendicular to the cortical surface in order to recording the constant cortical field potentials and SSEFPs mapped from different areas of somatosensory cortex were analyzed. In the second experiment, SSEPs were recorded in the ipsilateral nucleus gracilis, the contralateral ventroposterolateral thalamic nucleus(VPL), and the cerebral cortex along the conduction pathway of somatosensory information. Results : In the first experiment, we could constantly obtain the SSEFPs in cerebral cortex following the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the hind limb, and it revealed that the first large positive and following negative waves were largest at the 2mm posterior and 2mm lateral to the bregma in the contralateral somatosensory cortex. The second experiment showed that the SSEPs were conducted by way of posterior column somatosensory pathway and thalamocortical pathway and that specific patterns of the SSEPs were recorded from the nucleus gracilis, VPL, and cerebral cortex. Conclusion : The specially designed recording electrode was found to be very useful in recording the localized SSEFPs and the transcutaneous electrical stimulation using ball electrode was effective in evoking SSEPs. The characteristic shapes, latencies, and conduction velocities of each potentials are expected to be used the fundamental data for the future study of brain functions, including the hydrocephalus model, middle cerebral artery ischemia model, and so forth.

Objective : The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of Gamma Knife radiosurgery(GKS) on cerebral arteriovenous malformation(AVM) and the factors associated with complete occlusion. Patients and Methods : A total of 369 radiosurgical procedures for 336 patients with cerebral AVMs were performed between December 1988 and June 2001. Three hundreds and twenty-four cases of 293 patients who were treated with GKS procedures from May 1992 to December 2000 were analyzed. Various clinical and radiologic parameters were evaluated. Results : The total obliteration rate for the cases with satisfactory radiological follow-up(more than 2 years) after GKS was 79.3%. In multivariate analysis, maximal diameter, angiographic form of AVM nidus, and number of draining veins significantly influenced the result of radiosurgery. In addition, marginal radiation dose, Spetzler-Martin grade, and flow pattern of AVM nidi also partly influenced the radiosurgical outcome. Conclusion : GKS on cerebral AVM is considered as an effective treatment modality. The risk of hemorrhage seems to decrease within the latency interval between GKS and complete occlusion of nidus. Along with the size, topography, or radiosurgical parameters of AVMs, it is necessary to consider the angioarchitectural and hemodynamic aspects to select proper candidates for radiosurgery.

Objective : The purpose of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness of Gamma Knife radiosurgery(GKS) as a treatment of craniopharyngioma and to investigate the proper dose planning technique in GKS for craniopharyngioma. Method : Between May 1992 and March 1999, seven Gamma Knife radiosurgical procedures were done for residual tumor mass of 6 patients with craniopharyngioma after microsurgical resection. Conventional radiation therapy was not performed. In this study, their clinical, radiological and radiosurgical data were analyzed and the radiation dosage to the optic pathway, hypothalamus, pituitary stalk, and cavernous sinus were calculated and correlation with clinical outcome was evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 33.5 months(12.3-55.2 months). Result : The mean tumor volume was 4.4cc(0.4-18.0cc) and the maximum radiation dose ranged from 14 to 32 Gy(mean 20.9Gy). The radiation was given with isodose curve, 50-90% and the marginal dose varied within 8-22.4Gy(mean 12.7Gy). The mean number of isocenter was 4.3(1-12). The tumor was well controlled in all cases. In 5 of 7 cases, the size of tumor decreased to 10-50% of pre-GKS volume and remaining two showed no volume change. The mean dose to optic pathway was 5.7Gy(5.1-11.2Gy) and there were no complications. Conclusion : GKS seems to be effective for control of craniopharyngioma as an adjuvant treatment after microsurgical resection and even suboptimal dose for tumor margin is considered to be enough for tumor control. It is safe with careful dose planning to protect surrounding important structures, especially optic pathway. We believe conventional radiation therapy should be avoided because it has limitation for dose planning of additional treatments such as radiosurgery or intracystic instillation of radioisotope in case of recurrence.

Objective : Around the sellar area, there are many important structures. But, the optimal radiation dosage for minimal toxicity to surrounding neural tissue has not been firmly established. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiosurgical outcome of juxtasellar tumors and to investigate the relationship between radiation dosage and toxicity to neural tissue. Method : Between May 1992 and June 2000, we treated 65 juxtasellar tumors by using the Leksell Gamma Knife. Among them, 52 patients who could be followed more than 1 year were included in this study. The radiosurgical dosage to the optic pathway, cavernous sinus, Meckel's cave, hypothalamus, pituitary gland and stalk, and brain stem was analyzed and correlated with clinical outcome. The mean follow-up period was 33.5 months(range 12.2- 99.0 months). Result : The clinical response rate was 69.2%. The volume response rate was 61.0% and the radiologic control rate was 92.7%. There were 4 complications(7.7%) of 2 trigeminal neuropathy, 1 abducens nerve palsy, and 1 trigeminal and transient abducens nerve palsy. The optic apparatus appeared to tolerate doses greater than 10Gy. The risk of cranial nerve complications in cavernous sinus seemed to be related to doses of more than 16Gy. In 3 of 4 patients who received more than 16Gy to cavernous sinus, the abducens or trigeminal neuropathy occurred. Also, one patient who received more than 15Gy to the Meckel's cave, trigeminal neuropathy developed. The hypothalamus, pituitary gland and stalk, and brain stem were relatively tolerable to radiation. Conclusion : Gamma Knife radiosurgery seems to be an effective method to control the growth of juxtasellar tumors. To avoid injury to surrounding important neural tissue, careful dose planning and further study for radiation toxicity to neural tissue were needed.

성지연,김교영,류창우,김대현,박용구,Sung, Ji-Youn,Kim, Gou-Young,Ryu, Chang-Woo,Kim, Dae-Hyun,Park, Yong-Koo The Korean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society 2008 대한골관절종양학회지 Vol.14 No.2

혈관확장골육종은 골육종의 드문 아형이다. 늑골은 일반적인 골육종뿐만 아니라 혈관확장골육종에서도 흔치 않은 발생부위이다. 이 종양은 경화된 부분이 없이 혈액이나 괴사된 종양조직을 포함하는 단일성 또는 다발성 낭성 공간으로 구성되므로 다른 양성 낭성 병변과의 감별을 위해 주의 깊은 관찰이 필요하다. 그러므로 늑골이 혈관확장골육종의 호발 부위는 아니지만 일차적인 감별진단에 혈관확장골육종을 포함시키는 것이 중요하다. 늑골에서 발생한 혈관 확장골육종과 일차성 골육종에 관한 기존 보고, 혈관성골육종의 감별진단과 드문 부위에 발생한 골육종의 임상적 특징에 관한 문헌고찰과 함께, 늑골에서 발생한 혈관확장골육종 1예를 보고하는 바이다. Telangiectatic osteosarcoma is a rare variant of osteosarcoma. The rib is an uncommon primary site for conventional osteosarcoma, and even more for telangiectatic osteosarcoma. Because this tumor consists of single to multiple cystic cavities that contain blood or necrotic tumor with no appreciable areas of sclerosis, careful observation is needed to differentiate this malignancy from other benign cystic lesion. Therefore primary differential diagnosis including telangiectatic osteosarcoma is important, although rib is not the predilection site of telangiectatic osteosarcoma. We present a case of telangiectatic osteosarcoma arising in a rib. We reviewed the literature concerning telangiectatic osteosarcomas and primary osteosarcomas arising from the rib. The differential diagnosis of telangiectatic osteosarcoma and clinical features of osteosarcomas arising from unusual locations were discussed.

Objective: Thalamic lesioning and deep brain stimulation(DBS) have proved to be beneficial to the treatment of essential tremor(ET). The authors compared the effects and complications of two modalities. Methods: A total of 34 patients with ET were treated with ventral intermediate(Vim) nucleus thalamotomy or Vim DBS from May 1999 to May 2003. The procedure of lesioning or stimulation were performed as usual manner with or without microelectrode recording. Postoperatively, utilizing the various combinations of frequency, voltage and pulse width optimized the stimulation. The degree of improvements of tremor and the occurrence of the complications were evaluated postoperatively and at follow-up. Results: There were 38 procedures, including 27 with Vim thalamotomy and 11 with DBS, in 34 patients. Of the thalamotomy group, left Vim lesioning is 25 and right one is 2. Follow-up duration ranged from 12 to 57 months. In the thalamotomy group, the rate of overall good outcome was 88.9% but 12 patients (44.4%) showed permanent adverse effects. In the cases of stimulation, the rate of overall good outcome was 90.9% and two patients had acceptable dysarthria. Conclusion: Both Vim thalamotomy and Vim DBS were effective for the treatment of ET, although perioperative adverse effects tended to be higher in patients who had thalamotomy. In cases of DBS, adjustments of stimulation parameters enabled an acceptable position to be achieved with tremor control and unwanted effects.

Objective : The incidence of primary CNS lymphoma(PCNSL) has been increasing recently. The purpose of this study is to establish of prognostic factors and treatment options for PCNSL. Methods : Thirty-one PCNSL patients were treated in our institute between 1985 and 1997. All patients were histologically confirmed via stereotactic biopsy or open biopsy. The authors retrospectively analyzed clinical characteristics of PCNSL and prognostic factors, including histological cell types, immunohistological cell types and treatment options of PCNSL. Our data were statistically analyzed using Kaplan Meier survival curve and multivariated ANOVA test. Results : The clinical and radiological characteristics of PCNSL were resembled to those of other reports. The most common histological subtype was diffuse large cell type(55.5%). In immunohistolgical study, the incidence of T-cell lymphoma(35.7%) was very higher than that of others. The radiotherapy could prolonged patients' survival(p=0.021). One-year and 3-year survival rate of PCNSL were 66.9% and 45.9%, respectively. One-year survival rate of B cell and T cell lymphoma were 72.7% and 50.0%, respectively. The patients with B-cell lymphoma showed better prognosis than patients with T-cell lymphoma(p=0.049). Conclusion : On the basis of our data, active radiotherapy could prolong patients' survival. the T-cell lymphoma revealed higher incidence than those of other reports and had poor prognosis than that of B cell lymphoma.

백서에서 삼차신경 유발전위의 특성과 경로 분석

Objective : There are some advantages of trigeminal evoked potential(TEP) recording compared to other somatosensory evoked potential(SSEP) recordings. The trigeminal sensory pathway has a pure sensory nerve branch, a broader receptive field in cerebral cortex, and a shorter pathway. Despite these advantages, there is little agreement as to what constitutes a normal response and what wave forms truly characterize the intraoperative TEP. This study presents the normative data of TEP recorded on the epidural surface of the rat with a platinum ball electrode. Materials & Methods : Under general anesthesia with urethane, the adult Sprague-Dawley male rats(300-350g) were given electrical stimulation with two stainless steel electrodes which were inserted into the subcutaneous layer of the area around whiskers. A reference electrode was positioned in the temporalis muscle ipsilateral to the recording site. Results : TEPs were recorded in the Par I area of somatosensory cortex and recorded most apparently on the point of 2mm posterior from the bregma and 6mm lateral from the midline. The typical wave form consisted of 5 peaks (N1-P1-N2-P2-N3 according to emerging order, upward negativity). Each latency to corresponding peaks was not influenced by the different intensities of stimulation, especially from 1 to 5mA. Average latencies of 5 peaks were in the following order ; 7.7, 11.1, 15, 22.3, 29.4ms. There was also no significant difference between latencies before and after administration of muscle relaxant(pancuronium). For the electrophysiological localization of recorded waves, the action potential of a single unit was recorded with glass microelectrode(filled with 2M NaCl, $3-5M{\Omega}$) in the thalamus of rat. A sharp wave was recorded in the VPM nucleus, in which the latency was shorter than that of N1. This suggests that all 5 peaks were generated by neural activities in the suprathalamic pathway. Conclusion : In terms of recording near-field potentials, our data also suggests that TEP in the rat may be superior to other SSEPs. In overall, these results may afford normative data for the studies of supratentorial lesions such as hydrocephalus or cerebral ischemia which can have an influence on near-field potentials.

We report a case of 15 year-old female patient with a ossified chronic epidural hematoma. She had had head trauma 10 weeks previously and conservative care for delayed onset epidural hematoma at other hospital. Ossification was identified about 4 weeks after head injury and then progressed rapidly. We removed the chronic epidural hematoma with thick capsule and newly formed bone. The mechanism of the ossification associated with cephalhematoma and chronic subdural hematoma is reviewed and discussed.

Objectives : The objective of this study was to investigate the role of postoperative three dimensional short-range magnetic resonance angiography(3D-TOF MRA) in predicting the clinical outcomes following microvascular decompression(MVD) for the treatment of a hemifacial spasm(HFS). Material and Method : Postoperative magnetic resonance(MR) imaging was performed on 123 patients with a HFS between March 1999 and May 2000. All patients who had postoperative MR imaging were undertaken preoperative MR imaging. Of the 123 patients, 122 patients were included in this retrospective study. The degree of the detachment of vascular contact, and change of the position of offender were determined by pre- and postoperative 3D-TOF MRA. These findings were compared with the surgical findings and clinical outcomes. Results : Of 122 patients who had successful MVD, clear decompression of offenders of the root entry zone(REZ) of facial nerve was found in 106 patients(86.9%), partial decompression in 10 patients(8.2%) and contact of offenders to the REZ of facial nerve in 6 patients(4.9%) by the postoperative 3D-TOF MRA. Our patients demonstrated that the types of offender did not influence with the degree of decompression of REZ of facial nerve and with surgical outcomes(p>0.05). Also, there was no significant relationship between the degree of decompression of the REZ of facial nerve from offenders and an improvement of symptoms(p>0.05). Futhermore, there was no significant relationship between the degree of decompression of the REZ of facial nerve from offenders and an improvement time (p>0.05). Conclusion : Our data suggests that MVD of facial nerve alone may not be sufficient to resolve the symptoms in all patients with hemifacial spasm. Therefore, another unknown factors besides vascular compression may be involved to cause symptoms in certain patients and it may be necessary to remove these factors with MVD simultaneously to obtain the resolution of symptom.
