The use of intravenous immunoglobulin in Miller Fisher syndrome.
We report a patient with Miller Fisher syndrome who was treated with an intravenous high-dose of immunoglobulin. This syndrome is considered to be a benign variety of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome). However, there have been several reports of the need for ventilatory support and a few cases have had a fatal outcome. We observed a case of progressive Miller Fisher syndrome in a 3-year-old boy. Following 2 episodes of apnea lasting about 50 s each, he was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (400 mg/kg/day) for 5 consecutive days. His respiratory state, general muscle strength, truncal ataxia and emotional state improved remarkably after this therapy.

Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in Leigh disease.
An infant with Leigh disease, who was the younger sister of a similarly affected infant, had been examined before the onset of the disease. Ultrasonography revealed hyperechoic lesions in the putamen and caudate nucleus during the preclinical stage. At onset, these changes extended into the cerebral cortex and medulla. These lesions were also detected by T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as areas of increased signal intensity. Her brother demonstrated the same ultrasonographic results; cranial computed tomography disclosed low-density areas in the basal ganglia which were detected as hyperechoic lesions by ultrasonography. These findings suggest that ultrasonography is useful in detecting early intracranial lesions in Leigh disease.

P300 as indicator of effects of prophylactic cranial radiation.
In order to assess the late adverse effects of cranial radiation on the central nervous system, 33 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia were examined through event-related potential P300, brain response analysis. P300 latency was significantly prolonged in children who received both prophylactic cranial radiation and intrathecal methotrexate. Although a longitudinal study is necessary, we believe that P300 is useful in the assessment of the adverse effects of cranial radiation in children with acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Correlation of CT patterns with histologic findings in parauterine masses.
CT findings were correlated with histologic and surgical findings in 162 parauterine masses. CT findings were classified into four types and 14 patterns. These classifications were useful in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of parauterine masses. Malignant ovarian tumors, uterine myogenic tumors, metastatic tumors, endometrial cysts, and benign cystadenoma revealed characteristic CT findings, making differential diagnosis possible on CT. Contrast enhancement of the solid part, bilaterality, and the presence of ascites were useful for differential diagnosis. Although CT is one of the major modalities for the diagnosis of intrapelvic mass lesions, MR imaging will be another important method for the delineation and characterization of these lesions in the future.

Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II: report of three cases.
In this study the dental findings of three patients with vitamin D-dependent rickets (DDR) type II with alopecia, who were treated with large doses of vitamin D3 derivatives, are described. Dental development that is at or near a normal level can be achieved in controlled patients, permitting routine treatment of carious teeth.
