one of the important factors which should be considered in (coronary artery disease) cad cases is increased carotid intima-media thickness (imt) which has been considered to be associated with coronary artery disease severity and cardiovascular events. the goal of this study was to compare risk factors and carotid imt in cases with cad and healthy subjects and to determine the association betwe...

aortic dissection begins with the formation of a tear in the aortic intima, and it directly exposes an underlying diseased medial layer to the driving force of the intraluminal blood. this blood penetrates the diseased medial layer and cleaves the media longitudinally, thereby dissecting the aortic wall. herein, we report the case of a 38-year-old woman, who presented with chest pain and dyspne...

Carotid body paraganglioma is a neuroendocrine neoplasm of the mandibular region. Due to its prominent stromal alternations, carotid body paraganglioma is a great emulator of other neoplasms in the head and neck region especially in metastatic tumors and its definite diagnosis is a great challenge. To the best of our knowledge, the most frequently reported variant is sclerosing and paragangliom...
