Purpose: Despite irradiation, CT-scan remains an important diagnostic tool in epilepsy in poor countries where MRI is neither available nor affordable. But many causes of epilepsy are not accessible to CT-scan and this technique remains expensive for many poor families in countries with limited resources. The aim of this study was to determine clinical or electroencephalogram variables which co...

INTRODUCTION Brain infarction after trauma is uncommon. Injury of the carotid and vertebrobasilar arteries can cause brain infarction due to occlusion of brain blood flow. CASE PRESENTATION Emergency medical service (EMS) brought a 4-year-old girl involved in a car accident to the emergency room. She had had seizure controlled by diazepam. She was unconscious and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) ...

Rationale and Objectives: Ischemic strokes represent more than 80% of all stroke cases and are characterized by the occlusion of a blood vessel due to a thrombus or embolus. The temporal evolution of ischemic strokes occurs in four stages, i.e. Hyperacute, Acute, Subacute and Chronic. CT image by using ImageJ software help to identify stages of ischemic stroke in human brain as an alternative m...

A Central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhage is bleeding in or around the brain and spinal cord. Reasons of CNS hemorrhage include high blood pressure, cancers, drug abuse, abnormally weak blood vessels that leakage, and trauma. Regression of CNS bleeding was confirmed to be relatively repetitive in patients with severe FV, FX, FVII and FXIII deficiencies. Generally in CNS hemorrhage, radiological...

Trauma is a major health problem and is a leading cause of death in the age group 1 – 45 yrs. Head injuries caused or contributed to death in most trauma fatalities. The primary goal of imaging the trauma patient is to quickly and accurately identify treatable lesions before secondary injury to the brain occurs. CT scan is ideally suited to evaluate patients immediately after trauma. Head injur...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Computed tomography (CT) is frequently used in evaluating children with blunt head trauma. Routine use of CT, however, has disadvantages. Therefore, we sought to derive a decision rule for identifying children at low risk for traumatic brain injuries. METHODS We enrolled children with blunt head trauma at a pediatric trauma center in an observational cohort study between July ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: computed tomography (ct) scan without contrast is the modality of choice for diagnosis of stroke. however, routine brain ct scan, with linear processing has some limitations in early diagnosis of ischemic stroke. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of processed ct i...

.. Ring enhancing lesions are a common neurological problem seen in either gender and in all age groups. Objectives: To determine the clinical presentations and etiological factors in patients with ring enhancing lesion on CT scan brain. Design: Case series study. Period: One year. Setting: Department of medicine, Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad. Patients and methods: Subjects of either ...

background since tuberculosis (tb) is a major public health problem that is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among infectious diseases worldwide, early diagnosis and treatment are important to control an effective tuberculosis (tb) and also the increasing number of patients with atypical manifestations of active tb. it suggests more evaluation for active tb in fibrotic lesion in ct sc...

abstract   background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of the q angle with respect to the patella position. we assess the correlation between the q angles (calculated by clinical exam) in different positions and ct indices (with more impression on tttg).   method: atotal number of 68 knee joints of 50 cases entered the study. clinical examination was used to measure q...
