A Case of Congenital Solitary Liver Abscess
Sang Hee Kim, So Young Kim, You Jeong Kim, Hyun Hee Kim, Won Bae Lee, Kyung Tai Whang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(11):1426-1429.   Published online November 15, 2002
Congenital solitary liver abscess in newborns is an extremely rare and serious disease. Only one case was reported in the literature. Most a liver abscesses have a postnatal origin. We encountered a premature infant who had a low. Apgar score and an elevated right diaphragm at birth. Pyogenic solitary liver abscess was diagnosed by ultrasound and computed tomography. Staphylococcus aureus...
A Case of Congenital Nasal Pyriform Aperture Stenosis
Hyoung Sik Oh, Sang Hee Kim, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Il Hwan Jang, Ji Hae Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(1):99-102.   Published online January 15, 2001
The cause of congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis is unclear. The development of the facial skeleton occurs between the fifth and the eighth week of gestation. It is at this stage that the stenosis occurs due to overgrowth of the ossification of the maxilla. Infants are obligate nasal breathers. Incomplete and milder forms of nasal airway obstruction may be present...

Clinical Efficiency of Cardiac Troponin T for Myocardial Damage in Neonatal Asphyxia
Nam Soo Kang, Jae Kyun Yoon, Chang Sung Son, Joo Won Lee, Young Chang Tokgo, Sang Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(2):195-202.   Published online February 15, 1999
Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in detecting myocardial damage in neonatal asphyxia and to compare the diagnostic value of cTnT with creatine kinase MB(CK-MB). Methods : Sixty-three neonates were enrolled in this study, consisting of 27 asphyxiated infants (asphyxiated group; 1-min or 5-min Apgar score≤6) and 36 healthy...

A Case of Superior Mesenteric Artery Aneurysm associated with Marfan Syndrome
Ick Ho Sung, Sang Hee Kim, Min Seop Song, Chul Ho Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(7):984-988.   Published online July 15, 1998
Superior mesenteric artery aneurysm is very rare complication of Marfan syndrome, especially in children. A 11 years old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of fluctuating high fever and diagnosed as infective endocarditis and Marfan syndrome. During antibiotics therapy, fever was slowly decreased but abdominal pain was developed and pulsatile abdominal mass was palpable in the midline of...
A Case of Unilateral Diaphragmatic Paralysis with Brachial Plexus Palsy in the Neonate
Hae Joong Yoon, Kyeung Ho Park, Sang Hee Kim, Kye Whan Seul, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Chang Young Lim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):553-557.   Published online April 15, 1998
The diaphragm is especially important in sustaining minute ventilation in the neonate. Consequently, diaphragmatic paralysis is not tolerated well by the neonate and often results in prolonged respiratory failure. We experienced a case of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis with the brachial plexus palsy in a male newborn infant who presented with apnea and cyanosis due to birth asphyxia. After endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilaton was started....

Cerebral palsy, Periventricular echodensity, Cyst, Intraventricular hemorrhage
Kyeung Ho Park, Sang Hee Kim, Hyung Won Lee, Kil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee, Ji Hye Kim, Young Seok Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(9):1210-1218.   Published online September 15, 1997
Purpose : Although neonatal intensive care and development of obstetrics play a role in improving survival rate in prematurity, cerebral palsy(CP) is still one of the neurologic sequelae. We tried to find what kinds of risk factors in the patients with abnormal neurosonographic findings who developed CP later. This study was performed to predict early enough who will develop CP later and to treat...
Doxapram in the Treatment of Idiopathic Apnea of Prematurity Unresponsive to Aminophylline
Jung Hoon Park, Hee Sup Kim, Sang Hee Kim, Gil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(8):1046-1053.   Published online August 15, 1995
Purpose : Recurrent apnea of prematurity is a very common and troublesome problem despite treatment with aminophylline, and is often associated with a poor developmental outcome. Recently doxapram, a potent respiratory stimulant in adults, has been used to overcome idiopathic apnea of prematurity. This study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and optimal dosage of doxapram in idiopathic apnea refractory to aminophylline. Methods...
A case of Endobronchial Metastatic Malignant Melanoma.
Sang Hee Kim, Young Kyoo Shin, Kwang Chul Lee, Chang Sung Son, Pyung Hwa Choe
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(4):573-578.   Published online April 30, 1990
Metastatic malignant melanoma is a rare neoplasm in child. We experienced a case of endobron- chial metastatic malignant melanoma developed in a 5 year-8month-old boy, who was admitted because of dyspnea and productive cough. Diagnosis was made by endobrochia 1 biopsy and histopathologic findings. He was treated with radiation as a palliative therapy. The result was good. Tumor size decreased and symptoms im- proved. The...
A case of Transient Tricuspid Insufficiency of Newborn(TTI).
Young Kyoo Shin, Eui Kyung Jung, Sang Hee Kim, Chang Sung Son, Joo Won Lee, Young Chang Tockgo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(4):534-538.   Published online April 30, 1990
Transient Tricuspid Insufficiency(TTI) of newborn is a feature of myocardial dysfunction caused by myocardial hypoxemia secondary to reduced arterial oxygen content and excessive right ventricular work consequent to pulmonary hypertension.' Since Doppler echocardiography has been used to diagnose cardiac disease, it allows recording of regurgitant turbulent flow pattern. We report one case of TTI in a 36 week-gestational-aged newborn detected by continuous wave Dopplar echocardiography...
Change of Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity in Normal Newborn Infants.
Sang Hee Kim, Se Jin Kang, Chang Sung Son, Pyung Hwa Choe, Nam Joon Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(8):1037-1044.   Published online August 31, 1989
The purpose of this study was to determine the cerebral hemodynamic change in normal newborn infant before and after ductal closure. The measurements of cerebral blood flow velocity of internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery were obtained using a 5 MHzpulsed wave Doppler and pulsatility indices were calculated from the Pourcelot index in 15 normal fullterm newborn infants. The newborn infants...
