BACKGROUND Vertebral compression fracture is common in osteoporosis, but can also occur due to bone metastases, for which current treatment options are limited and include bone-strengthening with cement supportive care. Kyphoplasty a surgical method of augmentation that reduce pain, stabilize vertebral bone, restore some or all the body height. The aim this study was investigate clinical results balloon kyphoplasty correction deformity metastatic fracture. MATERIAL AND METHODS A...

BACKGROUND: Though traumatic posterior fossa epidural hematoma (PFEDH) is rare, the associated rates of morbidity and mortality are higher than those supratentorial (SEDH).Signs symptoms may be silent slow, but rapid deterioration set in, resulting in death.With more frequent use computed tomography (CT), early diagnosis can achieved patients with cranial fractures who have suffered injury to fossa.However, some hematomas appear insignificant or absent on initial scans, only detected by...

Although there is some controversy regarding the correlation between cerebral vasospasm in large arteries and ischemia, remains one of primary causes DIND (25,35).Proven therapeutic options for treatment and/or prevention or CV are few.Suarez et al., summarized current recommendations as consisting prophylactic nimodipine; hypervolemia with induced hypertension, usually following onset neurological deficits; a potential balloon █ INTRODUCTION D elayed ischemic deficit (DIND) (CV) remain most...

Epidural steroid injection is widely used to treat the short and long-term symptoms of low back radicular pain. To best our knowledge, influence transforaminal epidural (TFSI) combined with caudal (CESI) on pain intensity, patient satisfaction, quality life in lumbar radiculopathy has not been examined.To evaluate efficacy TFSI, TFSI CESI (TFSI + CESI) patients radiculopathy.We retrospectively examined records 104 L4/5 and/or L5/S1 intervertebral disc disease who underwent or CESI. We...

by showing different courses or making anastomoses between the nerve roots.The first classification of CNR was suggested in 1962 Cannon et al. (7) who distinguished 3 groups according to their courses: conjoined roots, transverse course root and roots.Even though this further developed Postacchini (21), Kadish Simmons (13), Kikuchi (16), most commonly used is Neidre MacNab (17).█ INTRODUCTION Conjoined roots (CNRs) are congenital anomalies spine.The incidence has been reported be 14%...

We report the neurological and radiological features, surgical management Mid-term outcome in a series of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) associated ipsilateral arachnoid cyst (AC) middle fossa.

Background: Nimodipine is the most widely preferred and administered calcium channel blocker in cerebral vasospasm prevention treatment. There no experimental or clinical study investigating comparative effects of routine treatment modalities. Method: 35 male New Zealand White rabbits were assigned randomly to one seven groups: Control, only SAH, SAH/oral nimodipine, SAH/IV SAH/IT SAH/IA SAH/angiography. Findings: Basilar artery vessel diameters are measured by angiography. luminal sectional...

Intervertebral disc degeneration can cause severe low back pain. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with symptomatic internal disruption unresponsive to conservative medical care. We aimed evaluate 12-month pain and functional outcomes predictors of clinical success in discogenic treated IDET respect the Dallas Discogram Scale (DDS).This was retrospective analysis undergoing from 2009 through 2014 at Baskent University, Department...

BACKGROUND Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a destructive syndrome with mortality rate of 50%. Recent studies have also suggested high pervasiveness hypothalamic-pituitary insufficiency in up to 45% patients after aSAH. Prolactin has been associated the pathogenesis hypertensive irregularities that are linked pregnancy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We identified group 141 spontaneous SAH due ruptured cerebral aneurysm; these were operated on at our institution's Neurosurgery and...
