To learn the prevalence of epilepsy in Silivri, a western town Turkey, randomized door-to-door survey was conducted using standard questionnaire. The method study adopted from suggestions World Health Organization (WHO) for studies developing countries, and criteria were derived Guidelines Epidemiologic Studies on Epilepsy proposed by Commission Epidemiology Prognosis, International League Against (ILAE) 1993.From June 1 to October 1, 1994, 4,803 people out total population 70,394 surveyed....
To study a series of patients with traumatic peripheral nerve injury during the past 10 years in Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty/Istanbul/Turkey.The chart review 802 was evaluated and we explored type(s) cause(s) injury, electromyographic findings. The included 171 children 631 adults excluded who suffered from injuries due to Marmara earthquakes that occurred 1999.Injury most common upper extremities both (78.36%) (63.54%). causes were as follows: obstetric lesions (46.78%), iatrogenic (16.95%),...
Hemodialysis (HD) may have some adverse effects on the nervous system. Headache is most commonly reported neurological symptom amongst HD patients. Our aim was to determine frequency, clinical characteristics and triggering factors of HD-related headache (HRH) evaluate preventive strategies for reducing HRH.In all, 494 patients were included. Comparative controls (CC) classified within same without headache. Arterial systolic/diastolic blood pressure, urea nitrogen (BUN) creatinine...
Abstract Objective: To investigate the possible thermal effects of microwaves from mobile phones on facial nerves (FN) and surrounding soft tissue. Study Design: A prospective study. Methods: We studied FN conduction rate compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) 12 rabbits before exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted a phone. Also, temperature change in tissues around was investigated by four channel Luxtron fiber optic system. phone with 1900 MHz frequency placed over...
The effectiveness of onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) has been established in primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN). However, to the best our knowledge, efficacy BTX-A secondary TN not yet studied.This study aimed investigate treatment patients with multiple sclerosis-related (TN-MS) and compare between (TN-P) TN-MS.This was a retrospective medical record-review study. Demographic clinical features severity frequency pain before 2 weeks after administration were extracted from patient files. injected...
Abstract Background and Aims This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics electrodiagnostic subtypes of Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) in Istanbul. Methods Patients with GBS were prospectively recruited between April 2019 March 2022 two examinations performed on each patient. The criteria Ho et al., Hadden Rajabally Uncini al. compared for differentiation demyelinating axonal subtypes, their relations anti‐ganglioside antibodies analyzed. Results One hundred seventy‐seven...
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical, demographic, and electromyographic (EMG) characteristics 12 earthquake victims in pediatric age group compare findings with those adult group. Following 1999 Marmara earthquake, 75 subjects suspected peripheral nerve injury were referred our EMG laboratory for evaluation. In group, five patients had a history short-term temporary trauma seven being trapped under debris 4 10 hours sustaining long-term trauma. Five developed compartment...
Spinal myoclonus is a rare disorder characterized by myoclonic movements in muscles that originate from several segments of the spinal cord and usually associated with laminectomy, injury, post-operative, lumbosacral radiculopathy, extradural block, myelopathy due to demyelination, cervical spondylosis many other diseases. On occasions, it can peripheral nerve lesions be mistaken for myoclonus. Careful history taking electrophysiological evaluation important differential diagnosis. The aim...
Even endotracheal intubation could be considered safe in operations under general anesthesia; rarely, it cause recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis as a complication. As mentioned the literature, possible reason for this, anterior branches of larynx suffer from compression between posteromedial part thyroid cartilage and cuff tube. In unilateral vocal cord due to occurs more frequently comparison bilateral paralysis. These types palsies usually totally improve approximately 6 months. A...
The adult-onset Alexander disease (AOAD) dramatically differs from the early onset AD with respect to clinical and neuroradiological findings.Herein we report detailed findings of a Turkish family AOAD.In all three cases, magnetic resonance imaging revealed marked atrophy mesencephalon, bulbus, cervical spinal cord accompanied signal abnormalities in same regions along supratentorial white matter.Basal ganglia were affected two cases.Molecular genetic analysis heterozygous mutation 8th exon...
Aim: Reported results of botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections vary widely in different studies and neurological disorders. The aim this study was to investigate the efficacy safety BoNT for each disorder report our experience area since 1994. Materials Methods: All patients who were injected with 1994 included retrospective study. Age, gender, etiology, specific diagnosis, time from first symptom injection, type (onabotulinum toxin-abobotulinum toxin), doses, treatment response, complications...
