There are many causes of leg swelling or edema. Leg edema due to systemic condition disease demonstrates chronic, bilateral features, whereas caused by vascular shows more complex clinical features including secondary skin changes and ulcerative lesion, resulting in complicated outcomes with less frequent early diagnosis appropriate management. Definite differential might not be possible medica...

Background: Incomplete ureteric duplication can be associated with either ureteropelvic obstruction involving the lower moiety or reflux between the ureters (yo-yo reflux). Yo-yo reflux can be a cause of repeated urinary tract infection with subsequent renal damage. Aim of the work: The current study evaluated the presence of yo-yo reflux as reason of upper moiety dilation in cases with incompl...

Methods Our case was a 68 year-old male. On the coronary angiography, which was performed with the complaint of chest pain, three-vessel disease was detected and the patient was hospitalized for surgery. Routine bilateral carotid colored duplex ultrasonography revealed 70% stenosis in the proximal segment of right internal carotid artery (ICA). Provided that, he was undertaken to carotid angiog...

This article reviews some of the recent work in epidemiology and pathology of giant cell arteritis (GCA), with particular regard to the immuno-histochemical findings in temporal artery biopsy (TAB) specimens. The diagnostic as well as prognostic role of biopsy histology is discussed. The role of novel imaging techniques e.g. duplex ultrasonography and FDG-PET scanning in diagnosis and staging o...

Materials and Methods: Peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity were measured by the duplex Doppler ultrasonography in the anterior and median cerebral arteries in 60 asphyxiated and 50 healty term infants in the first five days of life. Resistive index and pulsatility index values were calculated. T test and Mann-Whitney test was used for statistical analysis to compare asphy xiated a...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects medium- and large-sized arteries. The diagnostic gold standard is the temporal artery biopsy, but it has limited sensitivity and some difficulties in reproducibility. Color duplex ultrasonography is a noninvasive, reproducible, and inexpensive method for diagnosis of temporal arteries involvement (temporal arteritis [TA]) ...

Poplitealvenous aneurysms (PVA) are associated with deep venous thrombosis and recurrentpulmonary thromboembolism (PE). We report three cases of PVA. In all three patients the first sign of PVA was acute PE; in one case, the PE was recurrent. Computed tomography and duplex ultrasonography revealed not only PE but also popliteal venous dilatation with thrombus. Surgical reconstruction was perfor...

Abstract Background Obesity is a major health problem that affects different vascular systems, including cerebrovascular circulation. Carotid duplex the best screening tool for early diagnosis of changes in relation to risk factors obesity. The present study aims evaluate effect body mass index on parameters extracranial vessels healthy subjects using ultrasonography. Results intimal medial thi...
