[Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the left lung; report of a case].

A 35-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for hysteromyoma. Chest X-ray showed a mass shadow in the left lung field. A thorough examination revealed anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the left lung with 2 abnormal arteries. Because the patient had no symptoms, no operation was performed. After 9 months however, the patient had bloody phlegm and chest pain and received an operation. Thus, we propose that the operation for the pulmonary sequestration is to be performed when such a diagnosis is made.

Tangential vitreous traction observed in optic disc pit maculopathy without apparent serous detachment.

The authors describe a rare case of a patient with an optic pit that was accompanied by a cyst-like change in the macula without serous retinal detachment. A 38-year-old woman with a 10-year history of visual impairment in her right eye was referred to the authors' clinic. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 in the right eye, and ophthalmoscopy showed a cyst-like change in the macula with tangential traction by the surrounding vitreous. The patient was treated with vitrectomy and the posterior vitreous was separated from the retina during the procedure. After the surgery, the cyst-like region disappeared and the corrected visual acuity improved to 20/40. The authors suggest that tangential vitreous traction played an important role in the pathogenesis of the optic pit maculopathy.

A case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes associated with diabetes mellitus and hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction.

A 45-year-old woman with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) had muscular atrophy, severe cerebral and cerebellar atrophy, and cardiac hypertrophy. She also had diabetes mellitus treated with insulin, and sensorineural hearing loss. Ragged-red fibers were observed on muscle biopsy and an adenine to guanine transition mutation at position 3243 of her mitochondrial DNA was confirmed. Further investigations revealed that she also had hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction. It appears that diabetes mellitus, hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction, and the other abnormalities are all associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in this patient.
