Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis is a relatively uncommon disease characterized by hyperostosis and soft tissue ossification in the clavicle, sternum and the anterior part of the upper ribs. Although the cause of this disease is unknown, radiologic feature is diagnostic. We report one case of sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis with pain and limitation of motion on shoulder.

Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis (SCCH) is a chronic, nonsuppurative inflammatory disease involving sternum, clavicle, upper ribs and its adjacent soft tissue. It is a relatively newly described syndrome, characterized by ossification in the region between the clavicle and the first rib, and hyperostosis of the medial end of the clavicle with simultaneous involvement of the sternum and juxtasternal ribs. We experienced one case of sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis, diagnosed by pinhole bone scintigraphy. This paper describes characteristic pinhole scintigraphic findings of SCCH, with comparative study with radiographic and pathologic findings.

Objective : There are little report on treatment of Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis(DISH) in Traditional Korean Medicine. We suggest to treat DISH with a Korean Bee-Vonom Therapy and would like to suggest treatment plan for the further treatments. Methods : Under the assumption that Korean Bee-Venom Therapy may be affective for treatment DISH, the following points were administreted :Hua-Tuo-Jia-Ji-Xue Results : After 14 weeks of treatment-especailly Korean Bee-Venom Therapy, a remarkable improvement was made for DISH. Conclusion : Significant improvement in DISH was obtained with through Korean Bee-venom Therapy, Four needle technique, Common Acupucture Treatment and Herbal medication. Although this case yielded favorable result, more study should be made to prove the effectiveness of Korean Bee-Venom Therapy for treating DISH.

Two cases of congenital hyperostosis at a pig farm were observed and examined pathologically in Landrace piglets. Twenty two piglets from 2 litters: 10 alive piglets in a litter and 2 stillborn and 10 alive piglets in another, were born with thickened forelimbs and some of them with thickened hindlimbs too. These piglets stowed symptoms of staggering and incoordination. Only one of these piglets could be reared normally and all the others died within 3 days of age. The thickened parts of their limbs were felt firm and not well pitted by finger pressing. An apparent ossification was identified on the central regions of the cross sections of the thickened limbs, and some pale, gray and ossiferous signs were found in the peripheral soft areas. On histopathological examination of the thickened limbs, it was found that the bone trabeculae were newly proliferated in a concentric form in central regions and in a radiated form in peripheral regions. The peripheral regions of the periosteum and perichondrium of new bone were proliferated with connective tissue and the edematous muscle bundles were atrophic and degenerative. Both the sows which produced piglets of congenital hyperostosis were mated with a different boar at next breeding and farrowed normal piglets. It was concluded that the swine congenital hyperostosis in the present cases was expressed by autosomal recessive gene of first mating boar.

Although meningioma is a common and benign intracranial tumor, meningioma en plaque is a rare tumor, especially in the cranial vault. Meningioma en plaque[MEP] usually occurs in the area of the sphenoid wing, and it causes cosmetic and visual problems, as well as the problems that are due to its mass effect. The authors present here a case of convexity meningioma en plaque that involved the skull and scalp with diffuse hyperostosis as the presenting salient radiological findings, which caused marked intraoperative bleeding.

Morgagni-Stewart-Morel (MSM) syndrome is characterized by the thickening of the frontal bone of the skull (hyperostosis frontalis internal), obesity, neurological symptoms, and hypertrichosis. We present the case of a 76-year-old patient who complained of confusion, extreme irritability, and headache and was diagnosed with MSM based on examination, imaging, and test results.

Objective : The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of sphenoid wing meningioma with periorbital invasion (PI) after operation. Methods : Sixty one patients with sphenoid wing meningioma were enrolled in this study. Their clinical conditions were monitored after the operation and followed up more than 5 years at the outpatient clinic of a single institution. Clinical and radiologic information of the patients were all recorded including the following parameters : presence of PI, presence of peri-tumor structure invasion, pathologic grade, extents of resection, presence of hyperostosis, exophthalmos index (EI), and surgical complications. We compared the above clinical parameters of the patients with sphenoid wing meningioma in the presence or absence of PI (non-PI), then linked the analyzed data with the clinical outcome of the patients. Results : Of 61 cases, there were 14 PI and 47 non-PI patients. PI group showed a significantly higher score of EI (1.37±0.24 vs. 1.00±0.01, p<0.001), more frequent presence of hyperostosis (85.7% vs. 14.3%, p<0.001), and lower rate of gross total resection (GTR) (35.7% vs. 68.1%, p=0.032). The lower score of pre-operative EI, the absence of both PI and hyperostosis, smaller tumor size, and the performance of GTR were associated with lower recurrence rates in the univariate analysis. However, in the multivariate analysis, the performance of GTR was the only significant factor to determine the recurrence rate (p=0.043). The incidences of surgical complications were not statistically different between the subtotal resection (STR) and GTR groups, but it was strongly associated tumor size (p=0.017). Conclusion : The GTR group showed lower recurrence rate than the STR group without differences in the surgical complications. Therefore, the GTR is strongly recommended to treat sphenoid wing meningioma with PI for the better clinical outcome.

수장족저 농포증은 특별한 골, 관절계 질환과 관련이 있을 수 있다. 초기 전흉벽에 국한되었던 이러한 질환은 이후 말초 골, 관절계를 침범하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 무균성 가감염성 골, 관절 질환 역시 심한 여드름과 관련이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 1987년 Kahn 등은 과거 25년간 발표된 특별한 골, 관절 그리고 피부병변에 관한 수많은 보고들을 기술하기 위하여 약성어를 제시하였다. SAPHO 증후군은 Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis and Osteitis syndrome을 뜻한다. 저자들은 SAPHO 증후군으로 의심되는 과골증을 동반한 좌측 쇄골 및 우측 천장 관절 동통과 수장 농포증이 있는 27세 여자 환자 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.
