PURPOSE To investigate the signal intensity of lateral and terminal saccular aneurysm models with differing neck sizes using three-dimensional time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography with various imaging parameters. METHODS The study included four lateral and four terminal saccular aneurysm models with pulsatile flow. The height and fundus diameter were 10 mm; the neck diameters were 2.5 mm, 5 mm...

vestibular involvements have long been observed in otosclerotic patients. among vestibular structures saccule has the closest anatomical proximity to the sclerotic foci, so it is the most prone vestibular structure to be affected during the otosclerosis process. the aim of this study was to investigate the saccular function in patients suffering from otosclerosis, by means of vestibular evoked ...

We present a case report of a 66-year-old female with a laryngeal saccular cyst that was treated endoscopically. Although this is an uncommon laryngeal anomaly, when it is recognized and managed appropriately early in the course of its presentation patient complications and morbidity can be avoided. The laryngeal saccular cyst can mimic or be associated with other, more serious, laryngeal patho...

We report what may be the first case of lipoma of the corpus callosum associated with a distal anterior cerebral artery saccular aneurysm. The pathogenetic correlation between the callosal lipoma and the distal anterior cerebral artery saccular aneurysm is discussed.

We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented for evaluation of deterioration in her voice and swallowing function, which had begun after she had undergone a medialization laryngoplasty for unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Findings on examination and imaging revealed that a mass had developed adjacent to the Silastic implant that had been placed during the laryngoplasty. The superior ...

Children with hearing deficits frequently have delayed motor development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate saccular function in children with hearing impairments using the Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP). The impact of the saccular hypofunction on the timely maturation of normal balance strategies was examined using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC...

Saccular Kommerell aneurysm represents a potential pitfall on Multidetector CT (MDCT) imaging, mimicking conditions such as saccular aneurysm of the thoracic aorta, ductus diverticulum and dilated Kommerell diverticulum. Accurate diagnosis of this condition is critical in the management of this potentially fatal condition. This paper reviews the MDCT imaging features of Kommerell aneurysms and ...

Objective: To estimate the relationship between saccular dysfunction and low frequency age-related sensorineural hearing loss (a-SNHL). Methods: In this case-control study, sixty old men volunteers evaluated met inclusion criteria. They presented to the audiology department of Hamadan University of medical sciences (Hamadan, Iran). After history taking, all of audiological tests done on same. R...
