ABSTRACT
While lipomas are common in the rest of the body, intracranial lipomas are rare condition which are usually found in the midline of the brain. The majority of these lesions show few or even no symptoms and hardly ever produce alarming neurological defects. We experienced a case of corpus callosum lipoma in a 7 year old boy, who has had headache and loss of consciousness twice. He was diagnosed by skull x-rays and brain CT. We made a brief review of literatures. @PG 428.

Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteriopathy of unknown etiology affecting large vessels, the aorta and its main branches. We experienced a case of Takayasu arteritis type III in a 9 years old girl. The diagnosis was made by physical examinations and digital subtration aortography (DSA) which showed occlusion of left subclavian artery and left renal artery and stenosis of abdominal aorta. Medical treatment and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) were performed. A brief review of literatures was made.
