A BRW Stereotaxic Biopsy of Brain Stem Glioma.: Seung Chan Beak, Byung Yon Choi, Choong Bae Moon, Yong Chul Chi, Soo Ho Cho; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):343-349. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.343

Abstract PDF: Histopathological diagnosis of brain stem glioma should be performed for the purpose of the determination of its management and clinical course, but its surgical biopsy has been followed by high mortality and morbidity. We performed the tissue sampling for histological examination with BRW stereotaxic system under local anesthesia successfully.

Clinical Analysis of Chemonucleolysis for Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation.: Jowa Hyuk Ihm, Seung Chan Baek, Sam Kyu Ko, Yong Chul Chi, Byung Yeran Choi, Choong Bae Moon, Soo Ho Cho; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):171-177. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.171

Abstract PDF: During last 48 months, in our department 5 patients with single or multiple herniated lumbar discs have received chemonucleolysis. Forty-one of r51 cases have single level herniation and remaining cases have multiple level. Age distribution were from 19 to 59 years old. Over 4 months (longest case: 18 months) follow up revealed as follows: 40 cases (78%) revealed excellent results: 4 cases (7.8%) received discectomy 3-6 months after chemonucleolysis because of recurred symptoms: no anaphylaxis and no major complications were noted.

The Application and Effect of the Brown-Roberts-Wells Stereotactic System in the Management of Intracranial Lesions.: Choong Bae Moon, Wan Shup Kim, Sam Kyu Ko, Jowa Hyuk Ihm, Seung Chan Baek, Yung Chul Chi, Byung Yearn Choi, Soo Ho Cho; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):53-62. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.53

Abstract PDF: In the past 10 years, modern technology has made deep seated obscure lesions visible. With development of computer technology and various stereotaxic techniques, many new procedures, refinement of old procedures, and development of new applications are possible. The authors are intended to provide a detailed description of our experience with the Brown-Roberts-Wells (BRW) stereotactic system in the evaluation and management of 90 patients with intracranial lesions, and to provide cases presentation of various inaccessible intracranial lesions.

Pineocytoma.: Choong Bae Moon, Byung Yearn Choi, Soo Ho Cho; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1984;1(1):153-160. Published online December 31, 1984; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1984.1.1.153

Abstract PDF: The management of pineal region tumor remains controversial. This paper reports a case of pineocytoma which was attempted to improve treatment planning by the use of clinical features, computerized tomography, and markers for germ-cell tumor. A presumptive diagnosis could be made and this tumor less likely to respond to radiotherapy was subjected to primary surgery.

Extraosseous Extradural Cervical Tuberculoma.: Soo Ho Cho, Byung Yearn Choi, Choong Bae Moon; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1984;1(1):135-138. Published online December 31, 1984; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1984.1.1.135

Abstract PDF: A 44-year-old female with cervical cord compression signs had myelographic and computerized tomographic evidence of extradural spinal cord compression without any tuberculous bony lesion or cold abscess. At surgery, cervical spinal cord was compressed by extraosseous extradural granulomatous tissue which was histologically proved a very rare localized extradural tuberculous granuloma.

Organized Expanding Spontaneous Intracerebral Hematoma.: Byung Yearn Choi, Choong Bae Moon, Soo Ho Cho; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1984;1(1):129-134. Published online December 31, 1984; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1984.1.1.129

Abstract PDF: The authors report a case of massive spontaneous intracerebral hematoma in a infant, caused by bleeding from cryptic vascular malformation associated with vitamin K dependant factor deficiency. The bleeding was initiated by vitamin K dependant factor deficiency, then 3 weeks later hematoma was expanded by rebleeding from malformed vessel after PT and PTT had been returned to normal values. The well circumscribed organized old hematoma with fresh expanded bleeding component within a huge rusty colored cystic fluid cavity was recognized in operative field and pathological ground.

Clinical Analysis of C.N.S. Cysticercosis.: Soo Ho Cho, Choong Bae Moon, Byung Yon Choi; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1984;1(1):25-34. Published online December 31, 1984; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1984.1.1.25

Abstract PDF: During last 10 years we experienced 25 cases of C.N.S. cysticercosis. Now clinical analysis and evaluation of our cases were made and the results are followings; 1. Prevalence in man and women are nearly same and about 70% of cases are distributed between 20-50 years old. 2. According to Nieto's classification, mostly are ventricular (44%) and parenchymal type (36%). 3. Clinical manifestations were IICP (92%), focal neurological deficits (68%), seizure (48%), altered mental status (36%) and others listed on table 7. 4. In ventricular type, IICP and cerebellar dysfunction signs were predominated but seizure and focal neurological deficits were commonly seen in parenchymal type. 5. Subcutaneous cysticercus nodules were palpated in 32% of cases. 6. Positive stool ova was observed in 29% of cases. 7. Radiologic studies revealed as followings: 16% of cases showed abnormal findings on plain film, 84% on angiography, 94% on ventriculography and 100% on computed tomography and myelography. Computed tomography looks like most helpful diagnostic method for C.N.S. cysticercosis, they usually revealed lucent cystic lesion, hydrocephalic findings and contrast enhancement. 8. Suboccipital craniectomy, craniotomy with removal of parenchymal cyst or laminectomy were done according to location and types of lesion. 72% of operated cases revealed good results and mortality was 4% of cases.
