최근 저자들은 좌측 안검하수, 안면마비, 좌측 협궁부의 부종 및 안모비대칭을 호소하는 49세 한국 여성 환자로부터, 임상적으로 우측 하악지 부위에서의 융기성 경결성 병소를 발견하고, 이에 대한 진단 및 감별진단을 위해 (1) 문진상 직장 선암(直腸 腺癌)에 대한 과거 수술병력 소견, (2) 두부 전산화단층촬영사진상 우측 하악지 전내방에서의 비교적 균질한 괴(塊)의 존재와 이것에 의한 우측 하악지 내측 피질골의 파괴, 또한 경사대(傾斜臺)를 중심으로 뇌실질 조직에 비해 약간 고밀도를 보이는 불규칙한 괴(塊)의 존재와 이것에 의한 접형동(蝶形洞)과 주변 골 및 좌측 상악골의 파괴, 그리고 전신 골스캔상 비강 부위와 좌측 상악골 부위에서의 hot spot의 존재, 그리고 후전방 흉부 일반방사선촬영사진상 전폐야에 걸친 다양한 크기의 수 많은 결절의 산재를 나타낸 영상화 검사 소견, (3) 과거 전신병력 추적 소견상 간 우엽에서의 중심부에 hyperechoic focus를 가진 과녁 모양의 경계가 양호한 괴(塊)의 존재를 나타낸 간부위 초음파 검사 소견을 채득한 후 이들 자료를 종합, 분석, 평가한 결과, 과거 전신병력상의 원발성 직장 선암의 원격 전이에 의해 발생된 것으로 판단되었으며, 또한 영상화 검사에서 관찰된 우측 하악지 내측 피질골의 파괴상 및 좌측 상악골의 파괴상 역시 원발성 직장 선암의 원격 전이에 의해 발생된 것으로 판단되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of antral septa and the accuracy of panoramic radiograph in identifying maxillary sinus septa. In addition, when panoramic radiograph led to a false diagnosis of more than majority, we analyzed findings of the panoramic radiograph. Patients and methods: This study included 180 patients who were radiographically examined before the surgery was done using both panoramic and computerized tomographic radiographs(CT scan), Samsung Medical Center from April 2003 to March 2006, and examined the incidence of antral septa, the false diagnosis rate of panoramic radiograph, and radiographic characters in case of false diagnosis. Only those bone lamellae were considered as septa that showed a height of at least 3.0mm. It was thus possible to exclude the alveolar recess. One oral and maxillofacial surgeon(OMFS) determined the presence or absence of sinus septa in CT scan, and five OMFS determined the presence or absence of sinus septa in panoramic radiograph. Results: The septa were observed in 81 of 360 sinuses(22.5%). All septa were oriented in a buccopalatal plane. More or less greater prevalence was observed in the second molar region(38.2%) but no predominant location was found. Panoramic radiograph led to false diagnosed septa in 361 of 1800 cases(20.1%). In case of false diagnosis of more than majority, superimposed image on zygomatic process was 44.1%, faint image in the region not related to sinus lifting 26.5%, faint image in the region related to sinus lifting 17.6%, and misconception for superimposed image 11.8% Conclusion: In this study we could get clinico-anatomical information of septum in the maxillary sinus. Compared to CT scan, panoramic radiograph can not clearly differentiate the sinus septa, but we consider that panoramic radiograph may improve its usefulness if we take additional modified panoramic radiograph and clinical exam.

Background: Le Fort I osteotomy is a highly effective treatment for skeletal jaw deformities and is commonly performed. High Le Fort I osteotomy is a modified surgical procedure performed for improving the depression of the cheeks by setting the osteotomy higher than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy. Developments in three-dimensional (3D) technology have popularized the use of 3D printers in various institutions, especially in orthognathic surgeries. In this study, we report a safe and inexpensive method of performing a high Le Fort I osteotomy using a novel 3D device and piezosurgery, which prevent tooth root injury without disturbing the operation field for patients with a short midface and long tooth roots. Results: A 17-year-old woman presented with facial asymmetry, mandibular protrusion, a short midface, and long tooth roots. We planned high Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Prevention of damage to the roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve and accurate determination of the posterior osteotomy line were crucial for clinical success. Le Fort I osteotomy using 3D devices has been reported previously but were particularly large in size for this case. Additionally, setting the fixing screw of the device was difficult, because of the risk of damage to the roots of the teeth. Therefore, a different surgical technique, other than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy and 3D device, was required. The left and right parts of the 3D device were fabricated separately, to prevent any interference in the surgical field. Further, the 3D device was designed to accurately cover the bone surface from the piriform aperture to the infra-zygomatic crest with two fixation points (the anterior nasal spine and the piriform aperture), which ensured stabilization of the 3D device. The device is thin and does not interfere with the surgical field. Safe and accurate surgical performance is possible using this device and piezosurgery. The roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve were unharmed during the surgery. Conclusions: This device is considerably smaller than conventional devices and is a simple, low-cost, and efficient method for performing accurate high Le Fort I osteotomy.

Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is commonly employed in the field of forensic pathology. PMCT was mainly performed using a whole-body scan with a wide field of view (FOV), which lead to a decrease in spatial resolution due to the increased pixel size. This study aims to evaluate the potential for developing a super-resolution model based on conditional generative adversarial networks (CGAN) to enhance the image quality of CT. 1761 low-resolution images were obtained using a whole-body scan with a wide FOV of the head phantom, and 341 high-resolution images were obtained using the appropriate FOV for the head phantom. Of the 150 paired images in the total dataset, which were divided into training set (96 paired images) and validation set (54 paired images). Data augmentation was perform to improve the effectiveness of training by implementing rotations and flips. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we used the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Deep Image Structure and Texture Similarity (DISTS). Obtained the PSNR, SSIM, and DISTS values of the entire image and the Medial orbital wall, the zygomatic arch, and the temporal bone, where fractures often occur during head trauma. The proposed method demonstrated improvements in values of PSNR by 13.14%, SSIM by 13.10% and DISTS by 45.45% when compared to low-resolution images. The image quality of the three areas where fractures commonly occur during head trauma has also improved compared to low-resolution images.

기무라씨 질환은 특히 두경부 부위에 피하 종괴를 일으키는 만성염증성, 증식성 질환이다. 저자들은 최근 치험하였던 본 질환 5 예를 한국외과 문헌에 처음으로 보고하는 바이다. 기무라씨 질환은 크게는 ALHE(Angiolymphoide Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia) 의 범주에 속한다. 본 질환의 병리학적 특징은 증식된 lymphoid follicles, eosinophilic infiltration 과 혈관의 증식성이다. 이 질환은 이하선, 악하선 및 상부 경부 부위등에 흔히 종괴를 일으키며 이들 종괴들은 피하조직 뿐만 아니라 타액선과 상부 경부 임파선에까지도 파고 든다. 저자들의 증례 중 한명에서는 서혜부에 종괴가 있었으며 새로이 증식된 혈관과 동상들 (Sinusoids) 로 인하여 혈관 분포가 매우 풍부하였다. 저자들 증례 5 명의 평균 연령은 35세이었지만 한명을 제외한 나머지 모두는 38세 이하이었다. 남녀비는 3:2 이었으며 증상의 평균 기간은 5.2 년이었다. 전례에 있어서 말초 혈액 소견상 Eosinophilia 가 있었다. 전례에서 다발성 종괴들을 보였으며 가끔은 대칭적이기도 하였다. 저자들이 시행한 치료 양상은 수술만 시행한 경우와 수술 및 스테로이드 홀몬요법 시행 경우가 각각 1례씩이었고 수술과 방사선조사 경우가 2례이었으며 나머지 1례에서는 수술, 스테로이드 홀몬요법 및 방사선조사의 복합치료를 실시하였다. 저자들은 기무라씨 질환과 ALHE 질환과의 관계를 고찰해 보았으며 기무라씨 질환의 치료 경험을 보고하는 바이다.
