Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with excision of aberrant right hepatic artery after preoperative segmental embolization in mid-bile duct cancer

Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has proven to be a safe and effective alternative to open pancreati coduodenectomy with similar oncologic outcomes. Cases including excision of the hepatic artery with or without reconstruction during pancreaticoduodenectomy have been reported for periampullary cancer. Here we present a case of an 82-year-old patient who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy following preoperative arterial embolization of an aberrant right hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery.

A Case of Hyperreactio Luteinalis / 대한주산의학회잡지

Hyperreactio luteinalis(HL)referes to moderate to marked cystic bilateral enlargement of ovaries due to benign theca lutein cysts, usually related to hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma. After its first description by Berger in 1938, almost 53 cases of HL unassociated with trophoblastic disease have been reported in the literature. We encountered one such case in a 34 years old female which was incidentally diagnosed during cesarean section at term.

A Case of Perinatal Lethal Osteogeenesis Imperfecta / 대한주산의학회잡지

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare congenital disease. It is a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders characterized by multiple bone fracture, blue sclera, hearing loss, abnormalities of dentition and widespread connective tissue ahnormality. We experienced a case of osteogenesis imperfecta diagnosed in utero by ultrasonogram and confirmed hy postnatal radiograph after delivery. We present the case with a hrief review of the literature.
