In this retrospective study, we reviewed our experience with endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS) in remission rates using the 2010 consensus criteria, predictors of associated complications.The authors retrospectively analyzed data from 56 acromegalic patients who underwent pure EETS. Tumors were...

the scale, and it does not factor in patient's respiratory pattern (3).Early changes consciousness associated with deviations brain stem reflexes may be recognized.Therefore, 2005 Wijdicks et al. developed Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) as a modification GCS (11).Because this scale must also understood correctly applied accurately possible Turkey, Orken conducted reliability study on Turkish version FOUR score 2010 (8).These scales are key tool modifying interventions treatment...

ASDH might be classified into traumatic or non-traumatic and acute chronic.It usually develops as a result of rupture the bridging veins between dura cerebral cortex (17).It also associated with dural sinuses superior cortical arteries.Traumatic is encountered in one third severe head traumas mortality rate increases up to high 60% (2).Traumatic seen younger individuals compared variety █ INTRODUCTION A cute subdural hematoma (ASDH) clinical entity increased morbidity despite developments...

Prevention of primary damage caused by head trauma may be avoided with protective measures and techniques which is a public health concern. Experimental clinical studies about treatment were all centered to prevent secondary physiopathological changes following injury. Neuroprotective features tetracyclines the focus several experimental in last decade. In present study we aimed investigate neuroprotective effects tetracycline an model blunt brain injury rats.32 male Sprague-Dawley rats...

Background In humans, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a variable presentation ranging from mild self-limiting respiratory tract infections to severe acute distress syndrome. Methods: We present the case of patient who developed epiglottitis after surgery for an intracranial tumour and was subsequently diagnosed with COVID-19.Results A 58-year-old female acute-onset on day 6 surgery. Neck computed tomography revealed near-total airway obstruction due edoema epiglottis periepiglottis....

To assess the feasibility of vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) in determining amount vasoactive support and its relationship with mortality rate characteristics patients traumatic brain injury (TBI).This study was conducted a retrospective design involving years 2013-2018 university hospital which provides tertiary intensive care service. A total 102 who were admitted ICU diagnosis severe TBI, also followed by neurosurgery service received inotropic analyzed concerning VIS value.The median...

This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes in patients with Non-Functioning Pituitary Adenomas (NFHAs) exhibiting Visual Field Defects (VFD). Specifically, seeks ascertain impact of volume adenoma excised during surgery on recurrence rates and improvements VFD.

Abstract Objective This retrospective study evaluates the demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, laboratory results, treatment approaches, and outcomes of children with complications arising from bacterial sinusitis. Methods Fifty-four pediatric inpatients sinusitis admitted between September 2013 October 2022 were included in study. These patients categorized into two groups: those preseptal cellulitis (group 1) orbital–intracranial 2). Results The median age was 10.8 years, 61.1%...

To determine the clinical and radiographical aspects of six patients diagnosed with pericallosal lipomas (PCL).A retrospective analysis who presented to neurosurgery outpatient clinics Selcuk Faculty Medicine between 2009 2019, revealed that were PCL. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data obtained by reviewing patients? records.A total (two girls four boys), a mean age 53.8 months (38?72 months), included in this study. They followed up for period 36.5 (32?41 months). PCL detected on...

MATERIAL METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed our patients with MM.The rate mean angle progression were evaluated.Surgical was achieved same all patients; kyphectomy, short segment instrumentation plate system long screw-rod system.RESULTS: A total 14 treated surgically age at surgery 39 months.The incidence %21 this study.The...

Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt is a type of treatment commonly used in the surgical pseudotumor cerebri, comorbid hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula. Despite promising results LP blockage %7 and %14 migration rate complications have been reported. Migration can be rarely observed spinal subarachnoid space or even intracranial area. We report case where migrated upward to cerebellomedullary cisterns. A 37-year-old female patient underwent lumboperitonel surgery for cerebri. After...

Abstract Very few studies have focused exclusively on pediatric calvarial tumors. These primarily addressed the similarities of cases with those reported in literature, as opposed to their distinctive features. In contrast, present study is most detailed conducted last 10 years that includes only tumors and highlights differences according literature. A total 31 patients tumor surgically treated our center between 2010 2020 were included study. The patients’ files analyzed retrospectively 17...

To explore the ability of dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging (DSC-PI) to detect isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation in gliomas.Preoperative DSC-PI data on histopathologically proven gliomas obtained between January 2015 and December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. All magnetic resonance (MRI) examinations performed using a 1.5-T scanner. The maximum relative cerebral blood volume (rCBVmax), percentage signal recovery (PSR), normalized PSR tumor cores calculated....
