A patient with ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm associated with occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries is presented. A 70-year-old woman was hospitalized for sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting. She was alert, and no neurological deficit was found. CT scan showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Cerebral angiogram demonstrated occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries and ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. After operation, she fully recovered and was able to walk at the time of discharge. In aneurysmal formation, we know from the literatures that hemodynamic stress plays an important role. In this case, occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries caused hemodynamic stress on the anterior cerebral arteries and anterior communicating artery. It is suggested that this is a causative factor of aneurysmal formation under systemic hypertension.

Multi-septate gallbladder is a very rare anomaly. In this 13-years-old girl with a complaint of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, sonographic examination and oral cholecystogram demonstrated a normal size gallbladder with many thin septa. The longitudinal section of the removed gallbladder revealed multiple inter-communicating lobules divided by many thin septa. She has been free of the previous complaints after surgery. Only two pediatric cases have been reported previously. Our case illustrates the main features of this entity.

Child abuse, a clinical condition in young children who have received serious physical abuse, is a frequent cause of permanent injury or death. The first case is a 7-year-old boy suffering from abdominal distension and pain for 3 days. He was beaten by his mother as a result of inadequately learning his lessons. Sonogram and CT of the abdomen showed massive ascites and a pseudocyst of the pancreatic body about 3 x 3 cm in diameter. The second case is a 4-year-old girl who developed a semicomatose state after her father impulsively struck her with a chair. CT of the brain revealed subdural hematoma over the left fronto-temporal region and midline shift to the right. She expired 5 days later. The third case, a 2-year-old girl, suffered from headache, seizure, vomiting and general malaise. CT of the brain showed severe brain swelling over the right side and midline shift to the left. She expired 1 month later. Psychiatric factors are probably of prime importance in the pathogenesis of the disorder, but our knowledge of these factors is limited. Parents who inflict abuse on children do not necessarily have psychopathic or sociopathic personalities or come from borderline socioeconomic groups, although most published cases fall into one of these categories. It is clearly the responsibility of all physicians serving children to be aware of, to recognize, and to properly manage any child who has been the victim of abuse.

A paracervical abscess occurred after paracervical block anesthesia was administered for induced abortion in an 18-year-old multigravida. She presented with vaginal, low abdominal and low back pain and with nausea, vomiting, chills and fever. Incision and drainage of the abscess were performed and a vaginal drain inserted under antibiotic coverage. Cultures of the abscess contents revealed multiple anaerobic organisms. Laparoscopy showed normal pelvic organs, and the peritoneal fluid cultures were negative. Postoperatively the patient became afebrile and was discharged after three days on antibiotics. To our knowledge, this case report is the first one on paracervical abscess as a complication of induced abortion with paracervical block anesthesia.

We describe a case of a 50 year old woman with a secondary involvement of the stomach from breast carcinoma. She complained of nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain resistant to gastroprotective drugs. Initially symptoms were attributed to the side effects of chemotherapeutic agents. Correct diagnosis led to effective treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms with consequent improvement in her quality of life.

A 20-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with acute, severe neurologic symptoms 16 weeks after gastric banding for obesity. Her postoperative weight loss was 52 kg. Before admission she had protracted periods of vomiting with; hypokalemia. The etiology of the neurologic findings remains unclear. She responded slowly to adequate nutrition and recovered within 2 years.

A 63 yo female was hospitalized with a 2 week history of vomiting, epigastric pain, anorexia and weight loss. She had an incidental finding of left anterior upper mediastinal mass on Chest Xray and TSP of 2.2 gm% and globulins of 1.2 gm% along with endobronchial larvae of Ascaris lumbricoides and malignant cells and Strongyloides stercoralis in the gastric mucosa. She died after a progressively deteriorating course and at autopsy a thymoma predominantly composed of spindle shaped cells was found. This rare variant of thymoma has been associated with red cell agenesis and with immunodeficiency (Good's syndrome).

Meconium peritonitis is an aseptic peritonitis that follows a perforation of the intestines in fetal life. It is a serious complication of intestinal perforation. This article reports a female newborn who was born with gestational age of 40 weeks and birth body weight of 3400 gm. She was admitted at age of 6 days, owing to persistent vomiting, abdominal distention, tachypnea and acrocyanosis since birth. The plain abdomen showed intra-abdominal calcification and intestinal distention. Under the impression of meconium peritonitis, she was treated aggressively with exploratory laparotomy, TPN and antibiotics. During operation, dense fibrous adhesions and agglutination of the intestine were found. But no intestinal perforation was noted. Culture of ascites isolated Enterobacter aerogenes. The patient's condition was gradually recovered and she was discharged at age of 32 days. According to the previous literature, meconium peritonitis is a relative rare disease with poor prognosis. So we would like to report this case.

A rare case of cholecysto-duodenal-colic fistula presenting with non-faeculent vomiting, diarrhoea and loss of weight and appetite is reported. This fistula was demonstrated both by barium and endoscopic studies. She was treated with a simple closure of the fistulous tract and a cholecystectomy with good results. The surgical management of this condition is simple and rewarding.

A twenty-seven-year-old 25 weeks gestation female was admitted with recurrent symptoms of nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain. She was diagnosed as left diaphragmatic hernia by chest X-ray film, CT and esophago-gastrography. During operation, a left central tendon defect was observed, and was 3.5 cm in diameter. The margin of the defect was smooth and round. It was associated with diaphragmatic eventration. The small intestine and transverse colon were herniated into the left thoracic cavity. The central tendon defect was closed with direct mattress sutures and was reinforced by overlap-technique of the diaphragm. To our knowledge, this type of defect has not been described previously in Japan. Diaphragmatic hernia in pregnancy is very rare, and presents abdominal pain, vomiting and dyspnea. Usually the diagnosis is achieved by chest X-ray film. However, esophago-gastrography should be added, if the diagnosis could not be confirmed by chest X-ray film. Conservative management is reported to bring high mortality, therefore, prompt surgical repair is advisable.
