PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the frequency and neuroimaging features of Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) in children examined for endocrine-related diseases determine changes RCCs during follow-up children. hypothesize that are being more commonly diagnosed with most show neither fluid intensity nor due high protein content on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS After approval by local ethics committee, medical records contrast-enhanced pituitary MRI 833 (boys/girls, 338/495; mean age±SD,...

The normal limits of arterial diameters must be known to diagnose pathologies such as dilatation, stenosis and hypoplasia. Thoracic aorta diameter in childhood has been measured previous studies, but the number studies which aortic is determined very small. aim this study was therefore determine standard iliac arteries children according gender level. Pediatric abdominal computed tomography carried out for various reasons retrospectively re-evaluated between January 2016 February 2017....

Objective We aim to investigate a possible relationship between acute pancreatitis (AP) and body fat muscle parameters in computed tomography (CT). Methods Computed images of 107 patients with AP were scored terms severity using the modified CT index. Muscle mass, mass index, visceral subcutaneous adipose tissue area, multifidus muscle/fat attenuation ratio, total psoas index (TPI) Hounsfield units average calculation (HUAC) values performed. Results Total HUAC mild cases significantly...

Objectives: Holmium:Yttrium Aluminum Garnet laser lithotripsy is used in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery. Fragmentation made with a certain value of pulse energy (Joule) and frequency (Hertz) Holmium the multiplication these values gives us total power (Watt). Devices maximum 20 Watt 30 are clinical practice. We want to compare efficiency, safety pain scores below over device. Materials methods: 60 patients who had 2-3 cm sized kidney stones operation planned were prospectively divided into...

To compare the efficacy of different laser devices and power ranges on lithotripsy in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for 1-2 cm kidney stones.A total 223 participants undergoing RIRS stones at our clinic between January 2015 2017 were recruited this prospective study (NCT02451319). Two hundred four included randomly allocated into either ≤20 W with 20 device (group 1) or 30 2) >20 3).There was no significant difference groups terms demographic stone characteristics. Operation...

Objective: A retrospective study was designed to investigate the success and complication rates of different types self-expandable metallic stents in patients with inoperable malignant esophageal strictures. Material Methods: One hundred fifty five strictures received under fluoroscopic guidance our clinic between years 1994 2008. total 137 men 18 women aged 26- 83 (mean age, 58.9 years) were included study. Stent used include Strecker, Wallstent, covered Flamingo Choo Song Stent....

Abstract Hemodialysis catheters are vital for chronic renal failure patients. Permanent tunneled dialysis may be inserted through the jugular, subclavian, and femoral veins. In this paper, we aimed to present computed tomography findings of a patient who had referred our clinic with abdominal pain dyspnea symptoms. This formerly hemodialysis catheter her was found extending towards middle hepatic vein tip leaning onto parenchyma. can provide instant vascular access also used consecutive...

Coronavirus disease 19 infection clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic cases to acute respiratory distress syndromes.In some cases, pulmonary fibrosis is observed after or during the disease.Pirfenidone an agent approved for treatment of idiopathic fibrosis.Here we report a patient treated with pirfenidone related coronavirus 19.

To investigate the prognostic value of magnetic resonance imaging in Bell's palsy patients.Patients who were diagnosed and treated with between October 2013 March 2016 retrospectively selected. House-Brackmann grades, pre- post-treatment pure tone audiograms, stapedial reflexes analyzed (MRI) scans gadolinium-based contrast agents evaluated. Contrast-enhanced segments facial nerve determined. MRI findings compared statistically grade, recurrence rate palsy, scanning timing, presence stapes...

Objectives: Since there are various benign and malignant diseases of the penis, different imaging methods can be used for diagnosis. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is not a frequently method in diagnosing penile pathologies. In an abdominal CT scan performed with standard technique, slices obtained by scanning from diaphragm's dome to symphysis pubis's lower edge. Although whole penis always captured, almost all abdomen scans include portion penis. Penile pathologies detected careful...

Acute epiploic appendicitis (AEA) is a rare disease characterized by infection or ischemia of fat-filled sacs around the colon. It difficult to diagnose and can be confused with other acute abdominal pain requiring surgery. Computed tomography (CT) gold standard technique for appendicitis. Our study aims evaluate CT findings diagnostic value neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios (NLR) neutrophil-platelet (NPR). We included one hundred twenty patients, 40 whom were diagnosed appendicitis, 80 had...

Introduction Colonic wall thickening (CWT) is frequently observed incidentally via abdominal computerized tomography (aCT). Although the general approach to evaluating incidental CWT a colonoscopic examination, there lack of definitive recommendation guidelines. Thus, we aimed determine neoplasia rates and identify factors predictive examinations patients with diagnosed aCT. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 5,300 colonoscopy reports. A total 122 who had aCT were included in study. was...

Factor XIII deficiency is a quite rare bleeding disorder in which detecting tests for coagulation are found normal ranges. This usually does not cause spontaneous but other than excessive after invasive procedures, impaired wound healing, abnormal scar formation, recurrent miscarriages women, oligospermia and infertility men could be seen. Case Report: A thirty three years old male patient with previously diagnosed as factor referred to emergency serious stomachache began he fell down at his...

In spite of a wide choice pacemakers, there are some problems in making more rational clinical decisions for individual patients since mode selection and programming is usually performed on the basis hunch. The aim this study was to measure differences carotid flow with pacemaker programmed dual chamber single pacing modes. Sixty implanted bipolar DDD pacemakers were enrolled study. Blood peak systolic velocity (PSV) end-diastolic (EDV), cross-sectional area, resistive index (RI),...

Amaç: Alt servikal omurganın (C3-7) yaralanmaları; aksiyal iskeletin en sık görülen ve potansiyel olarak katastrofik yaralanmaları arasında sayılmaktadır. Gençlerde daha çok motorlu taşıt kazalarıyla, yaşlılarda ise düşmelerle ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı kliniğimizde alt omurga nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi edilen olgularla ilgili deneyimlerimizi paylaşmaktır. Gereç Yöntem: 2014-2016 tarihleri travmatik kırık dislokasyonları opere 27 olguya ait demografik, klinik radyolojik veriler...

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced (CCT) and nonenhanced computed tomography (NECT) in diagnosis acute appendicitis. Material Method: Patients' reported to have appendicitis on abdominal (CT) between January 2017 February 2018 were identified from radiology database.The images clinical characteristics 149 consecutive patients (Male/Female=88/61) evaluated.
