In this study, it was aimed to determine the reliable morphometric data of the important bone structures on skull base using MDCT and to establish the differences of these data according to sex and lateralization. This study was retrospectively carried out on MDCT images in the Radiology Department of Meram Medical Faculty, Necmettin Erbakan University. We evaluated the images of the 100 (male ...

BACKGROUND The indication for surgical treatment of post-traumatic parenchymal lesions in the temporal lobe remains controversial. OBJECTIVE We reviewed the tomographic parameters that might be useful in making surgical decisions. METHOD The tomographic findings of 69 patients were analyzed in a retrospective manner considering: 1) the effects of the lesion (classified into 4 variables: mid...

OBJECTIVE To determine the dimensions and depth of the right internal jugular vein (RIJV) in low birth weight newborns by ultrasound and assess the differences in weight and determine the relationship of the vein with the carotid artery. METHOD We performed a vascular assessment of the RIJV in 100 low birth weight newborns. The subjects were divided into three groups, low birth weight (LBW) n...

The dimensions of the brainstem were measured on magnetic resonance (MR) images to provide criteria for detecting brainstem enlargement. Twenty-eight normal adult subjects had MR imaging with sagittal partial-saturation and spin-echo sequences. Four patients with brainstem gliomas and three with cerebellar atrophy were also studied. Five measurements were made: (A) the distance between the inte...

The study was undertaken to provide a more complete picture of donor-site morbidity following the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEAP) flap harvest in breast reconstruction. Most studies evaluating this subject have been performed using ultrasonography. Computed tomography (CT) might provide valuable information. METHODS In 14 patients who were reconstructed with a DIEAP flap, d...

An extensive morphometric study of human trachea and principal bronchi was undertaken in the Department of Anatomy, Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, on 87 specimens procured from 51 male and 36 female relatively disease free fresh cadavers from Kolkata Police Morgue. The specimens were grouped into five age groups for both sexes. The length...

We describe a rare case of Dandy-Walker syndrome malformation and its ocular alterations. A female child, aged 1 year and 9 month, with central nervous system alterations (Dandy-Walker syndrome), associated with low visual acuity, megalocornea (13 mm diameter in right eye and 13.5 mm in the left), fundoscopy with 0.7 optic papilla excavation in both eyes (BE) and temporal paleness in BE, intrao...

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a high-grade malignant neoplasm which exhibits morphological and/or immunohistochemical evidence of bidirectional epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. Sarcomatoid carcinoma occurring in the upper urinary tract is rare. The present study reports a case of primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. A 49-year-old female patient was admitted to Beijing Chao-Y...
