ABSTRACT
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) is a rare benign pulmonary lesion characterized by abnormal overgrowth of the fetal bronchiole. The prenatal diagnosis of CCAM is important because the prognosis of the CCAM is depend on the type, bilaterality, and other associated abnormalities, which can be detected by prenatal ultrasonography. We experienced a case of CCAM that was detected by prenatal ultrasonography and report the case with a review of several related literatures.

The effects of muscle relaxants and intravenous anesthetics on intraocular pressure(IOP) were studied in 40 patients ranging in age from 12~63 years and undergoning elective non-ophthalmic surgery. IOP was measured with the PErkins Applanation Tonometer before induction, 1 minute and 2 minutes after intravenous anesthesia, 1 minute after succinylcholine and 1 minute after intubation. The patients were divided into 4 groups: thiopental+succinylcholine+intubation (group A, control group) : pnacuronium pretreatment+thiopental+succinylcholine+intubation (group B): ketamine+succinylcholine+intubation (group C): and, pancuronium+ketamine+succinylcholine+intubation(group D). The results were as follows: 1) In group A, IOP changes following thiopental (5mg/kg) administration showed a highly significant decrease (p0.05). 3)IOP changes after 1 minute following succinylcholine(1mg/kg) administration showed significant increases(p<0.05) in group A, C and highly significant increases(p<0.01) in group D. IOP changes after 1 minute of endotracheal intubation showed highly significant increases (p<0.01) compared with the control value in group A, C and D. 4) Pretreatment with a mondepolarizing muscle reaxant could not prevent the increase in IOP following succinylcholine administration.
