Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), which is prevalent in Japan, is known to be rare outside Japan. Although a case of diffuse panbronchiolitis in a second generation Korean was reported in Japan in 1986, no case has been reported in Korea. Recently we found 5 cases of diffuse panbronchiolitis in Korea, two histologically proven and three clinically and radiologically suspected. All 5 cases had the typical respiratory symptoms and signs and a history of chronic sinusitis. In three clinically and radiologically suspected cases, high resolution computed tomography showed the typical findings of DPB and other diseases such as pulmonary emphysema, bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis could be ruled out. More cases of DPB are expected to be found in Korea in the near future.

Six cats with chronic recurrent rhinitis and frontal sinusitis were treated by surgical ablation of their frontal sinuses by the implantation of autogenous fat grafts and curettage of the remaining ethmoid conchae. Deep nasal bacterial cultures and skull radiographs were performed before surgery. Excellent results were achieved in four of six cats and there was significant improvement in two of six cats. Median follow-up time was 15 months. Subcutaneous emphysema over the temporal area was managed by needle aspiration and bandaging. Frontal sinus ablation with autogenous fat graft in combination with ethmoid conchal curettage appears to be an effective treatment for chronic sinusitis in cats.

Orbital emphysema is a rare condition in the absence of trauma or sinus disease. We report two cases of orbital emphysema caused by sneezing. The patients presented with sudden unilateral eyelid swelling after sneezing. Otorhinolaryngologic and ophthalmic examinations were accompanied by computed tomography (CT). Patient examination disclosed crepitant eyelid swelling, ptosis, and mild unilateral exophthalmos. CT demonstrated areas of emphysema in the orbit. One patient had history of past trauma. The other patient had a history of nasal surgery and concurrent chronic sinusitis. Sneezing may cause orbital emphysema in patients with a history of old periorbital trauma or surgery.
