RESUMO
PURPOSE: To report the clinical course of refractive accommodative esotropia (AE) and to determine whether the strabismus resolves during the adolescent years in Korean patients. METHODS: A total of 32 adolescent patients with AE associated with hyperopia were retrospectively reviewed. Ocular alignments, amblyopia, stereopsis, changes in refractive error with time after glasses prescribed, and clinical characteristics were studied. RESULTS: The mean age and follow-up were 14.9 and 10.1 years, respectively at the final visit. The Initial and final refractive errors were 5.16 and 2.52 diopters (D), respectively. Spectacles were initiated at a mean age of 4.7 years, and intentional undercorrection initiated from a mean age of 6.3 years. Hyperopic reduction after prescribing glasses followed the formula: Diopter (D) = 5.23 - 0.02 (Time) - 0.03 (Time)**2. Initially, 16 out of 32 patients (50%) showed fully corrected hyperopia, and eventually, 71.9% wore partially corrected spectacles. The mean change of hyperopia per year was 0.26 D. Six out of 32 patients (18.8%) were successfully discontinued from hyperopic spectacles and the mean age of weaning was 14.7 years. Intentional initial undercorrection did not affect hyperopic reduction (p = 0.123). CONCLUSIONS: AE persists through adolescence for a majority of Korean patients. These patients need to be carefully monitored during follow-up periods because most do not outgrow their hyperopia and need to using spectacles.

Pure rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare. We present a case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord presenting as a large scrotal mass and mimicking testicular tumor. The literatures were reviewed.

Calyceal diverticula are eventrations of the upper collecting system, lying within the renal parenchyma, communicating with the main collecting system via a narrow channel and lining by transitional tell epithelium. Most are asyptomatic and rarely require any form of treatment but complicated one needs surgical correction. We experienced one case of calyceal diverticulum associated with stone in 47 year old man. This calyceal diverticulum was removed by partial nephrectomy.

Pararenal pseudocyst is an unknown condition caused by renal trauma, in which there is an encysted collection of urine or serous fluid lying outside the renal pelvis and parenchyma We have experienced 3 cases of pararenal pseudocyst The results were as follow; 1. Three cases of pararenal pseudocyst were caused by trauma 2. Among the three cases, 2 cases of pararenal pseudocyst were communicated with the renal pelvis and upper and the other was the renal parenchyma. 3. 2 cases of the nephrectomy were performed due to severe hydronephrosis and permanent nephrocutaneous fistula. In third case of pararenal pseudocyst, we could preserve the kidney because. of early detection and management.
