A pediatric case of relapsed pulmonary alveolar proteinosis despite successful whole lung lavage
Seung Young Jin, Hye Ri Yun, Yun Jung Choi, Jun Dong Park, Jin Tae Kim, Chang Hyun Kang, Young Sik Park, Young Hun Choi, Woo Sun Kim, Dong In Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2017;60(7):232-236.   Published online July 31, 2017

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease in children characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant proteins, which severely reduces gaseous exchange. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the preferred technique for the treatment of severe PAP. Herein, we present a pediatric case of PAP treated with WLL. An 11-year-old boy was admitted with the chief complaint of a dry cough...

Decreased heart sound in a healthy newborn: Spontaneous multiseptated cystic pneumomediastinum with delayed respiratory distress
Young June Choe, Eun eun Kim, Ee-Kyung Kim, Han-Suk Kim, Jung-Eun Chun, Woo Sun Kim, In-One Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(2):244-247.   Published online February 15, 2010
Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in the absence of predisposing risk factors has been rarely observed in full-term neonates. A 3-day-old neonate, delivered vaginally at term without any perinatal complications or signs of respiratory difficulty, was referred to the Seoul National University Children’s Hospital because of reduced heart sound detected during routine neonatal examination. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed air collection in the...
Autoimmune hepatitis-primary sclerosing cholangitis overlap syndrome in a 10-year-old girl with ulcerative colitis
Jeana Hong, Mi Kyoung Song, Jae Sung Ko, Gyeong Hoon Kang, Woo Sun Kim, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(4):504-507.   Published online April 15, 2009
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are chronic autoimmune liver diseases. Overlap syndrome is defined as a condition in which the clinical, biochemical, and histological features of these autoimmune diseases are overlapped. Thus, it is difficult to appreciate overlap syndrome as an actual diagnostic entity. Only a few cases of the overlap syndrome of...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(4):446-452.   Published online April 15, 2009
Purpose : This study was performed to demonstrate the usefulness of early endoscopy for predicting the development of stricture following corrosive ingestion in children. Methods : We conducted a retrospective study on 34 children who were brought to Seoul National University Childrens Hospital and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital for corrosive ingestion from 1989 to 2007. Results : The corrosive burns were...

A case of simultaneously identified glycogen storage disease and mucopolysaccharidosis
Ju Young Lee, Jeong Ok Shim, Hye Ran Yang, Ju Young Chang, Choong Ho Shin, Jae Sung Ko, Jeong Kee Seo, Woo Sun Kim, Gyeong Hoon Kang, Jeong Han Song, Jong Won Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(6):650-654.   Published online June 15, 2008
Glycogen storage disease (GSD) and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are both independently inherited disorders. GSD is a member of a group of genetic disorders involving enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen. GSD leads to abnormal tissue concentrations of glycogen, primarily in the liver, muscle, or both. MPS is a member of a group of inherited lysosomal storage diseases, which...
Gastric neurofibroma in von Recklinghausen disease : a cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Bo Sang Kwon, Jeong Ok Shim, Jeong Kee Seo, Hye Ran Yang, Jae Sung Ko, Seong Eun Jung, Woo Sun Kim, Gyeong Hoon Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(2):203-207.   Published online February 15, 2006
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (von Recklinghausen disease, NF1) involves the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as the skin, bone, endocrine, gastrointestinal and vascular systems. The gastrointestinal neurofibroma associated with NF1 has been infrequently reported. We report our experience with a 15-year-old boy who had a gastric plexiform neurofibroma with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and underwent a tumorectomy because of massive...
Development of Crohn disease in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome : report of two children

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(1):107-111.   Published online January 15, 2006
Crohn disease (CD) is rare, but the incidence of CD has been increasing over the past ten years. We found two cases of CD, associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), for the first time in children. In the first patient, MDS was diagnosed at three years of age and CD developed later at eight years of age. The patient presented with...

Correlation of Body Mass Index, Body Fat Distribution, Aminotranferases and Computed Tomography in Obese Children with Fatty Liver
So Eun Park, Hye Ran Yang, Ju Young Chang, Jae Sung Ko, Jeong Kee Seo, Whal Lee, Woo Sun Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(3):276-283.   Published online March 15, 2005
Purpose : Visceral fat accumulation plays a major role in metabolic complications of obesity. It is known that nonalcoholic fatty liver in obese adults is associated with visceral fat accumulation. Body mass index(BMI) is used as the index of obesity in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of BMI and visceral adipose tissue(VAT), and the...
High-Resolution Computed Tomography(HRCT) Findings of the Lung in Asthmatic Children and Their Correlation with Clinical Characteristics
Do Kyun Kim, Yang Park, Young Yull Koh, Jung Eun Chun, Woo Sun Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(12):1583-1590.   Published online December 15, 2000
Purpose : The purposes of this study were to determine the abnormal high-resolution computed tomography(HRCT) findings of the lung in uncomplicated asthmatic children, to compare the clinical characteristics between normal and abnormal HRCT finding groups and to correlate abnormal HRCT findings with clinical characteristics, especially FEV1 and PC20. Methods : Forty asthmatic children were studied. Inspiratory and expiratory HRCT scans were...
Clinical Profiles and Anatomic Classification of Intestinal Malrotation
Jung A Kim, Jae Seong Ko, Jeong Kee Seo, Kwi Won Park, Woo Sun Kim, In One Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(4):526-534.   Published online April 15, 1999
Purpose : Intestinal malrotation is a developmental anomaly and may be complicated by volvulus and intestinal necrosis. We performed anatomic classification and compared clinical profiles to understand their relationship. Methods : Twenty-eight children were diagnosed as intestinal malrotation at Seoul National University Children's Hospital between Jan. 1980 to Dec. 1995. The patients were classified into 4 groups by age at...

A case of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis with Ulcerative Colitis

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(10):1448-1454.   Published online October 15, 1996
An association between primary sclerosing cholangitis and ulcerative colitis is well known. But, primary sclerosing cholangitis with ulerative colitis has been rarely reported in children. The prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis among ulcerative colitis patiens is 3% in children. Primary sclerosing cholangitis is characterised by inflammation and fibrosis of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. The diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis based on biochemical, histologic...

Pulmonary vein atresia was in right side in all cases. Narrowing of contralateral pulmonary vein and pure red cell anemia were combined in one cases. In four cases, initial presentations were hemoptysis and...
