Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology has been shown to provide new communication possibilities, conveying brain information externally. BCI-based robot control started play an important role, especially in medically assistive robots but not only there. For example, a BCI-controlled robotic arm can patients diagnosed with neurodegenerative diseases such as Locked-in syndrome (LIS), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and others the ability manipulate different objects. This study...

In Brief Background: Although small meningomyeloceles may be amenable to direct closure by undermining of the surrounding skin, large meningomyelocele defects is a challenging reconstructive problem. Purpose: Here, we present new surgical procedure for defects. Material and Methods: this procedure, after neurosurgical repair placode, defect surgically converted triangle in shape. Then, triangular closed transposition 2 skin flaps designed an unequal z-plasty manner. Over 3 years, technique,...

The aim of this study was to investigate the etiologic factors and treatment types for chronic otitis media (COM) complications.In study, data from 82 patients who had been diagnosed treated at Departments Otolaryngology Neurosurgery Gaziantep University between 1999 2011 complications COM were retrospectively reviewed. chosen surgical procedure based on type complication ear pathology.The included 55 male 27 female patients.

Penetrating head and neck trauma with construction nails are uncommon life-threatening injuries an important problem in developing countries. Assessment of the neurovascular systemic physical status is a first requirement, decision concerning which surgical approach to perform for removal nail critical importance. A 10-year-old girl was presented one hour after fall injury complaint swelling foreign body lodgment on left forehead. Neurological examinations were normal except weak direct...

In this double-blind prospective clinical study, we investigated the effects of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine as adjuvant agents in supratentorial craniotomies on following: hemodynamic changes during perioperative recovery periods, brain edema perioperatively, times side effects, such hypertension, shivering, nausea vomiting.Thirty consenting ASA physical status I-II patients undergoing intracranial tumor surgery were randomly divided two groups. group D (n=15), was infused a 1 μg/kg bolus...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant tumor of brain. Prognostic factors in GBM can be sorted as age, localization, diameter, symptom period type, extent surgery, postoperative volume, adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy status. Besides interactions between actin microfilaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments, environmental intracellular signals which regulate them affect cell invasion. Rho proteins therefore Rho-kinase activation play...

Spontaneous spinal subdural haematoma (SSDH) with no underlying pathology is a very rare condition. Only 20 cases have been previously reported. It can be caused by abnormalities of coagulation, blood dyscrasia, or trauma, neoplasm, and arteriovenous malformation. occurs most commonly in the thoracic spine presents sudden back pain radiating to arms, legs trunk, varying degrees motor, sensory, autonomic disturbances. Although main approach management surgical decompression, conservative used...

We report a rare case of simultaneous cranial subarachnoid and spinal subdural hematoma (SDH) in 42-year-old man who was on Warfarin therapy after cardiac bypass surgery.Computed tomography at presentation revealed hemorrhage, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed SDH extending from the T6 to L5 segments.He had paraparesis due cord compression.The patient managed conservatively his poor general condition infused with intravenous steroid therapy, but he experienced sudden arrest 5 hours...

Objectives Anterior skull base defects are potentially lethal and surgical treatment must be performed as soon possible. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether our technique is effective or not in long-term period. Design Retrospective chart review all patients whose data were entered into the Hospital Registry System between 1995 2015. Setting/Participants This at Gaziantep University School Medicine, Gaziantep, Turkey, 2015 included 78 who past 20 years underwent three-layer...

Dermoid cysts are benign and congenital ectodermal inclusions. Their occurrence in an intracranial location is quite rare. They constitute 0.1 to 0.7% of all tumors. the fourth ventricle their multicentric feature extraordinary. A 12-year-old boy was admitted our clinic with a dermoid cyst sixth cranial nerve involvement. He had symptoms increased pressure. This case first literature at this unusual location; mature tooth structure found within cyst, which extended over cervical subsegments....

Interhemispheric Precuneal Approach to the Lesions of Atrium: Experience with 66 patients ABSTRACT oligodendroglioma, neurocytoma, teratoma, and metastatic tumors may be seen in trigone (24,25,(29)(30)(31)(32).Trigonal including neoplasms that orginate ventricular wall its lining tissue (primary origin) those arise adjacent cerebral parenchyma have a major exophytic component within ventricle or paratrigonal (1,24).Lesions, which solely trigonal area lateral ventricle, can benign curable by...

Ewing's sarcoma is one of the most common malignant tumors skeletal system in children and young adults. It frequently stems from long bones extremities. However, though uncommon, extraosseous localization can be seen. Epidural presentations are extremely rare. In this case, authors report on long-term follow-up a patient with well-demonstrated, but uncommon localization, initial unique presentation patient, which clinically radiologically mimicked cervical abscess.

The use of radiotherapy (RT) with chemotherapy has improved disease free survival and control in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). We have encountered three patients histologically documented lymphoma. In all pathological diagnosis was B-cell modified IDARAM regimen to R-IDARAM enhance optimize chemotherapeutic components for the treatment PCNSL. made changes: (i) we added rituximab 375 mg/m(2) day 1; (ii) increased dose MTX from 2 3 g/m(2); (iii) administered two additional...

BACKGROUND: Transient neurologic syndrome (TNS) is a rare complication of spinal and epidural anesthesia.It defined as paradoxic postoperative back pain radiating to the lower extremities with no deficits.Because it self-limited disease, treatment usually symptomatic consists NSAIDs injections neuromuscular-blocking drug at trigger points.The may be resistant this regimen last for several months, resulting in long convalescence.CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old Turkish woman (height, 165 em;...

Hemophilia A is an inherited, X-linked, recessive disorder caused by deficiency of clotting factor VIII. Central nervous system hemorrhage uncommon complication in patients with hemophilia. We report the case a 5-year-old child who had intraspinal hematoma nonsurgical, conservative management. It should be kept mind that optimal management decided according to patient's condition because high morbidity and mortality.
