A 56-year-old male was admitted with an acute headache and sudden ptosis on the right side. No ophthalmological or neurological etiologies were apparent. A mucocele of the right posterior ethmoid sinus was observed with radiology. After the marsupialization of the mucocele via a transnasal endoscopic approach, the patient's symptoms (oculomotor nerve paralysis and headache) resolved in 4 weeks....

Congenital malformations are among the most distressing diseases that affect mankind. Attempts to reconstruct the major anomalies have only limited success. Malformations affecting the brain are usually associated with some degree of mental deficiency. The recognition of causative agents such as infection, drugs, and genetic abnormalities offers some hope toward their prevention. Unfortunately ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to determine which technique of uncinectomy, classical or swing door technique.  materials and methods: four hundred eighty cases of sinusitis were selected and operated for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (fess). out of these, in 240 uncinectomies classical uncinectomy was done whereas in another 240 uncinectomies swing door technique was used. initi...

background lower gastrointestinal bleeding (lgib) in children has many different etiologies and is a serious problem that warrants careful diagnostic work-up. materials and methods 164 colonoscopies were done during one year for determining the etiologies of lgib in children who was referred to children's medical center hospital. analyses of results were based on age, sex, etiology and clinical...

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to evaluate all lesions in the adenoma-dysplasia-cancer sequence of the colon and to examine whether the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can distinguish polyps indicating dysplasia and cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 397 patients who had colonoscopic polypectomy between January 2010 and December 2014 were included in our retrospective study. The ...

Background and aims: Colonoscopic polypectomy and regular surveillance of colorectal polyps are important to prevent colorectal cancer. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of colorectal polyp and assess the predictive factors of colorectal polyp recurrence in 2 years after the first polypectomy. Methods: Total 194 patients with colorectal polyps underwent follow-up colonoscopy wit...

the peutz-jeghers syndrome is characterized by an association of gastrointestinal polyposis with rnelain spots on oral mucosa, lips, and skin. this symdrorne is inherited as a simple mendelian autosomal dominant trait. intussusception is by far the most common complication. although these polyps are widely regarded as hamartomas and rarely undergo malignant change, they have been reported to be...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Colonoscopy is consistently associated with reduced left-sided, but not right-sided, colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality. This might be because polyps with advanced pathology are smaller and more easily missed in the right vs left colon. We explored this postulate by evaluating the relationship among size, location, and histology of polyps from a large nationwide s...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical and epidemiological risk factors for endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women with endometrial polyps, as well as the genetic polymorphism of the progesterone receptor (PROGINS). METHODS A case-control study was designed with 160 postmenopausal women with endometrial polyps, compared to a normal Control Group of 400 postmenopausal women. The genotyping of PR...

It seems apparently that the 2 separate anatomical areas (nasal cavity and paranasal sinus mucosa) are indeed one single unit with an identical behavior during inflammatory process. Similar histopathologic evidence in long-term condition could emphasize on the concept of rhinosinusitis in patients with inflammatory paranasal sinus disease. Prospective study was performed on 50 consecutive patie...
