Case Reports
Dapsone in a Case with Chronic Recurrent Henoch-Schönlein Purpura
Jin Choi, Soo Jung Lee, Dae Kyun Koh
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1999;42(11):1574-1578.   Published online November 15, 1999
The most clearly delineated condition with prominent cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis which presents to a pediatrician is Henoch-Schönlein purpura. There is general agreement that in Henoch-Schönlein syndrome the skin manifestations have a very benign long-term course and that corticosteroids are of little value. Dapsone appears to be of special value in diseases characterized by an accumulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils notably leukocytoclastic...

S. J. Kim, I. S. Park, S. H. Lee, M. Y. Hann, D. J. Cho, E. J. Bae, S. H. Kim, Y. M. Kim
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1999;42(11):1579-1582.   Published online November 15, 1999
Coronary artery fistulas, though relatively rare, are the most common hemodynamically significant congenital anomalies of the coronary artery system. Conventional surgical repair has been performed by either ligating the anomalous coronary connection or by direct closing of the Astula's orifice in patients undergoing a cardiopulmonary bypass. More recently, transcatheter embolization of fistulas, either with detachable balloons or coils, has been...
A Case of Infantile Marfan Syndrome
Sun Young Kim, Hee Ju Park
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1999;42(11):1583-1588.   Published online November 15, 1999
Marfan syndrome is infrequently diagnosed early in infancy. The morphologic characteristics and prognosis in infantile Marfan syndrome may be quite different from those in older patients. Characteristic cardiac findings in early life include mitral valve prolapse, valvular regurgitation, and aortic root dilation. Morbidity and mortality may be high for infants diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. Cardiac surgery for cardiovascular complication in...
A Case of Parry-Romberg Syndrome in Neonate
Chun Hyuk Chang, Jin Hwa Jung, Sung Min Cho,, Dae Seop Choi
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1999;42(11):1589-1593.   Published online November 15, 1999
Parry-Romberg syndrome(Progressive hemifacial atrophy), described in the last century by Parry(1825) and Romberg(1846), is a very rare disorder characterized by a slowly progressive and self-limited unilateral(rarely bilateral) atrophy of the faces affecting variably the skin, subcutaneous fat tissues, musculature, connective tissue, cartilage and bones. And this disorder is usually accompanied by contralateral Jacksonian epilepsy, trigerminal neuralgia, and changes in the...
A Case of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis in Early Infancy
Min Seong Kim, Jeong Nyun Kim, Bang Soon Kim, Hong Joo Kim, Myung Jae Chey, Churl Young Chung
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1999;42(11):1594-1598.   Published online November 15, 1999
Toxic epidermal necrolysis(TEN) is a bullous disorder affecting mainly basal layers of epidermis by hypersensitive reaction. It is rarely reported in infants under six months of age. It can be developed by drug, infection, and vaccination, which makes it difficult to differentiate from staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome(SSSS) especially in early infancy. We report a case of TEN in a 6-week-old...

While the frequency of primary carcinoma of the lung has recently increased in adults, it is rare in the pediatric age group. The various adult types of bronchogenic carcinoma such as squamous cell, small cell, large cell, and adenocarcinoma, are extremely rare in children. Twenty to 30 cases of primary bronchogenic carcinoma of the lung in children under 15 years...
A Case of Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Detected on Fetal Echocardiography
Jin Lee, Young-Yoo Kim, Youn-Soo Lee, Jong-Chul Shin, Jong-Wan Kim, Chung-Sik Chun, Kyung-Tai Whang
J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1999;42(11):1604-1609.   Published online November 15, 1999
We experienced a case of persistent left superior vena cava draining into the common atrium in a fetus of 26-year-old primigravida. Persistent left superior vena cava is derived from the left cardinal vein. This anomalous vessel usually drains into the right atrium via the coronary sinus and has no physiologic significance. Much less frequently, the left superior vena cava drains...
