Adrenoleukodystrophy progressed from frontal lobes--clinico-pathological, electron microscopic and chemical study of a case.

A young male patient with adrenoleukodystrophy progressed from the frontal to the parieto-occipital region was reported. The spreading pattern of the brain lesion in this patient was confirmed by a serial examination of Technetium scintigrams and the neuropathological findings. The high uptake area of the isotope in the scintigrams seemed to represent the active demyelinating and infiltrative-reactive process in the white matter. A chemical analysis of the frozen white matter tissue of the patient revealed the existence of long chain fatty acids mor than C 22 in cholesteryl esters and gangliosides. It is suggested by this case that the demyelination process can start in the frontal white matter also in adrenoleukodystrophy as well as in Schilder's disease.

Surgical-orthodontic approach to skeletal class III malocclusion. Analysis of 45 cases with evaluation of curved oblique osteotomy and sliding osteotomy.

A curved oblique osteotomy in which the ascending ramus was cut obliquely on a curved line from its anterior border to the angle was used for the treatment of 29 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, and 16 other patients were corrected by either an ordinary body ostectomy or a sliding osteotomy in the first premolar region. Both curved oblique osteotomy and sliding osteotomy could easily be performed with a Stryker's reciprocating saw, and osseous healing at the sites of surgery was rapid as a large area of intimate bony contact between the segments was obtained. The resulting profile and skeletal changes studied by cephalograms were excellent, with no significant relapse, and recovery of a stable occlusion was attained. The combined approach with orthodontists which included thorough analysis of each patient, preoperative alignment of the dental arches and postoperative care was essential for obtaining the best results.
