We obtained successful functional and esthetic results by grafting of iliac marrow-cancellous bone in 2 cases of alveolar-palatal cleft patients. Bone graft of alveolar-palatal clefts provide bony support to adjacent teeth of cleft area, prevented from relapse of orthodontic arch expansion, closure of oroantral fistula and improvement of speech problem. 1. In one case, extraction of upper right central incisor that was little bone support, alignment of rotated teeth and expansion of collapsed arch segment were done with pre-ortodontic treatment. The other case, Bone grafting was done after removal of prosthesis with no preorthodontic treatment. 2. After mucoperiosteal incision in cleft area. The mucosal flap of labial area, palate and nose were separation and the raised nasal mucosa was sutured for closure of oroantral fistula. Then, the iliac marrow-cancellous bones were grafted to cleft site. 3. After 6 months of operation, we had seen the new bone deposition to cleft site in dental radiography and prosthetic treatments of missing teeth were done.

In patients with unilateral condylar hyperplasia, increased length of the condylar neck causes deviation of the mandible to the opposite site, resulting in facial asymmetry, but the arch form and general contour of the displaced mandible is approximately symmetric. So, the unilateral condylectomy have been prefered surgical method among the surgeons. The purpose of this study is to analyze the postoperative results comparatively following two different surgical methods, condylectomy and ramus surgery, in unilateral condylar hyperplasia. Case of 6 patients with the unilateral condylar hyerplasia were analyzed in this study, 3 case of the condylectomy only, 3 cases of the ramus surgery, Clinical and radiographic evaluations were tried for comparison. In conclusion, comparative results between two groups did not show any significant difference, but we confirmed that unilateral condylectomy could be a excellent surgical methods in unilateral condylar hyperplasia thinking over the unique morphological characteristics of it.

A 4-year-old female Shih-tzu with severe episcleral congestion and buphthalmos in left eye was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University in October 1998. During two months in local veterinary clinics, the dog had been treated unsuccessfully with tarsorrhaphy and antibiotics. By history taking, cause of the glaucoma was ascertained as accidental nonpenetrated cornea trauma by owner, Ophthalmic examination revealed that the left eye was buphthalmic with severe episcleral congestion, pain and fever. The direct pupillary light response could not be evaluated in the left eye, but right eye had normal reaction. The intraocular pressure was 4.5 mmHg in the right eye and 33 mmHg in the left eye, as measured with a Schiotz tonometer, Ultrasonographic finding revealed hyperechoic vitrous body and central echofree material. The Schirmer tear test showed 20 mm in the left eye and 8 mm in the right eye. The hematologic examination revealed monocytosis. The initial medical treatment was admitted, but there was no response. Transpalpebral enucleation in the left eye under inhalation anesthesia with enflurane 1.2 vol% in oxygen was performed. The day after operation the left eye ravealed no exudate, and pain, and the systemic vital signs were normal. The prognosis is excellent.

Warthin's tumor is the second most common tumor of the parotid gland after pleomorphic adenoma. It is well known to occur as bilateral and multiple patterns. The incidence of extraparotid Warthin's tumor (EPWT) is about 2.7% to 12%, peri-parotid and upper cervical area are the most common sites. Warthin's tumor with synchronous intraparotid and extraparotid area is extremely rare, only a few cases have been reported. We report a-71-year old man with unilateral swelling of the parotid area and upper neck, pathologically confirmed Warthin's tumor with literature review.

Hyperhidrosis is common complication of spinal cord injury, but localized unilateral hyperhidrosis is relatively rare disorder without autonomic disreflexia. A 52-year-old man with a 10-month history of cervical injury induced tetraplegia complained of excessive intermittent left-sided sweating. The sweating occurred by urinary retention or without any autonomic dysreflexia. The patient sweated excessively on the left face and upper body. In the point of Differentiation of Syndrom (辨證), the patient was diagnosed as Gi-Heo-Hyeol-Eo (Pi-Wei-Qi-Xu 氣虛血瘀) and was administered revised Boyanghwano-tang (reserved Bu-Yang-Huan-Wu-tang), and he was almost complaint free during 4 month about none dysreflexial hyperhidrosis.

Bell's palsy is an acute-onset unilateral peripheral facial neuropathy. For patients with sequelae of facial paresis, the successful rehabilitation of fully edentulous arches is challenging. This case report described the treatment procedures and clinical considerations to fabricate complete dentures of a patient who showed unilateral displacement of mandible, unilateral chewing pattern and parafunctional jaw movement due to sequelae of Bell's palsy. Gothic arch tracing was used to record reproducible centric relation and lingualized occlusion was performed to provide freedom to move between centric relation and the patient's habitual functional area in fabricating satisfactory dentures in terms of function and esthetics.

A comparative study was undertaken to investigate the collapse of maxillary dental arch and palate in unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals. The material for this study consisted of 39 subjects with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate (30 males, 9 females). The measurements of unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals were compared with the measurements of normal individuals (30 males, 30 females). All the subjects were in the mixed dentition stage and the mean age was almost the same. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. A large number of the maxillary dental arch of the unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals showed ${\Omega}$-shape, and the arch length was shorter than that of normal individuals. The intermolar width did not show significant difference between cleft group and group, but the intercanine width was mcuh smaller than that of normal individuals. 2. The palate of the unilateral cleft lip and palate subjects showed shorter and shallower form than that of normal subjects. 3. The palatal area of the unilateral cleft lip and palate subjects was smaller than that of normal subjects, and the cleft side area was much smaller than the opposing side area. 4. There was no significant sexual difference in measurements of maxillary dental arch and palate of the unilateral cleft lip and palate subjects.

The ankylosis of temporomandibular joint occured by several causes directly developes TM joint disfunction, In cases with prolonged condylar ankylosis, especially at growing age the condylar ankylosis evokes malfunction of growth center area, and then developes the abnormal facial morphology and malocclusion. Therefore it must be cured. Almost authors have agreed to the necessity of surgical correction of the TMJ anylosis. but they did not decide the one surgical method to get the best result. The Tx. method suggested by many authors are the using interposition after resection of condyle to remain a lever of 3rd class in Mn. kinetics, the autogenous condylar graft and the alloplastic condylar graft. Some authors have got the satisfied results only with the condylectomy of the involved TMJ. This study also operated only the detachment of fibrous adhesion on ankylosed condylar side and then established occlusion in the case with the unilateral TMJ ankylosis and fibrous joint adhesion and facial asymmetry evoked after the fracture of condylar head at early age. This study got a improved mouth opening and a stable postsurgical result after 1 year. Also, this study reviewed many author's study about the chanracteristics, etiology, diagnosis and Tx. method for the ankylosis of TMJ.

A 10-year-old, female spayed mixed-breed dog with a history of vomiting and anorexia was examined. Abnormal findings of comlete blood count and serum chemistry included polycythemia, thrombocytopenia, hyper-globulinemia and hypoalbuminemia. Abdominal radiographs revealed severe unilateral renomegaly, and ultrasonography showed a left-sided renal mass. During the operation, left kidney was resected. Cytologial and histopathological examinations revealed neoplastic lymphoid proliferation with high mitotic figures in renal mass. Immunohistochemistry revealed tumor cells were CD3-positive and CD79${\alpha}$-negative, consistent with T-cell lineage. The renal mass of this case was diagnosed as renal T cell lymphosarcoma.
