We treated 43 acute tears of the calcaneofibular ligament by operation in 43 patients after subtalar arthrography. There were 22 men and 21 women with a mean age of 22.3 years (14 to 61). Anteroposterior (AP), lateral and oblique views were obtained with the foot in 45 degrees of internal rotation and the ankle in the neutral position. Any communication or leakage to the ankle, tendon sheaths, ...

Thromboembolic phenomena are the serious consequences of assisted reproductive technology. We present a case of cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CVST) following ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS). Ten days after recovering from OHSS, the patient presented in the emergency department with thunderclap headache. Her Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) showed occluded left transverse sinus an...

node as the region responsible for activation of the heart.1 Laslett first suggested sinus node dysfunction as a cause of bradycardia in 1909, and during the 1950s and 1960s Short, Ferrer, Lown, and others described the clinical spectrum of sinus node dysfunction that is commonly called the “sick sinus syndrome resting sinus bradycardia.”2-5 Sinus node dysfunction can have multiple electrocardi...

BACKGROUND Prolonged and fractionated right atrial endocardial electrograms are characteristic of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (idiopathic or associated with sick sinus syndrome). The distribution of these abnormal atrial electrograms within the right atrium and the way it is related to the likelihood that patients with sick sinus syndrome will develop paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was studi...

The effects of DDD (fully automatic) and VVI (ventricular demand) pacing modes on exercise tolerance, symptom diary cards, and Holter monitoring were investigated in a randomised double blind crossover study of 16 patients who had had DDD pacemakers implanted because of frequent syncope. Eight patients presented with sick sinus syndrome and, with one exception, retrograde atrioventricular condu...

Silent Sinus Syndrome (SSS) is known to be a rare clinical condition, characterized by spontaneous and progressive enophthalmos and hypoglobus associated with atelectasis of the maxillary sinus and alteration of the orbital floor. Most of the patients with this syndrome present with ophthalmological complaints without any nasal sinus symptoms, and it typically has a painless course and slow dev...
