Many studies in literature point out that inflammation related to nasal polyp is mostly dependent on eosinophils and their inflammatory products. Beside eosinophils, platelets may have a role development. Platelets are involved haemostasis, tissue repairing inflammation. However, our knowledge, there no reports the study association between platelet parameters polyps.Forty-three patients with polyps forty-nine healthy controls were enrolled study, retrospectively. Laboratory data of obtained...

Colloid cysts are among rare benign tumours of the third ventricle. Although most frequent symptoms headache and syncope, arrest hydrocephalus or sudden death could appear with colloid cysts. The aim this pictorial essay was to increase awareness clinical presentation, computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging spectrum, treatment options data 11 patients histopathologically and/or clinically proven cyst were analysed, retrospectively; neuroradiologic appearances evaluated. CT...

The goal of this study was to determine the value 3D sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip-angle evolutions (3D-SPACE) technique in evaluation endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) patency.Twenty-six patients ETV were examined 3-T MRI units. Sagittal-plane 3D-SPACE variant mode, T1-weighted (T1W), and heavily T2-weighted (T2W) images obtained isotropic voxel sizes. Also, sagittal-axial plane phase-contrast cine (PC)-MR obtained. following findings...

<title>Abstract</title> Background Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) is a major cause of hypertension in children. Imaging essential for diagnosis and treatment planning. While CT commonly used, it may miss patent intrahepatic branches. Percutaneous venography (PVG) offers more detailed vascular imaging but invasive. Comparative studies between PVG pediatric EHPVO are limited Objectives To compare the effectiveness contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) percutaneous...

Extensive research has been performed regarding the association between platelet activity indices and various cardiovascular disorders. Less clear data, however, are present these deep vein thrombosis (DVT).The aim of this study was to investigate DVT in a relatively large population.Mean volume (MPV), mean mass (MPM), component (MPC) were measured by an autoanalyzer total 203 patients with results compared 210 age- sex-matched controls without DVT.There significant differences control...

Wilms tumor (WT) and neuroblastoma (NB) are the most common pediatric abdominal malignant neoplasms of kidney adrenal gland. Differentiating them from each other is essential since their treatments different. Here, we aimed to show diffusion characteristics WT NB for differentiation.Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) 17 histopathologically diagnosed lesions (10 7 in 8 female 9 male patients) was evaluated retrospectively. The apparent coefficient (ADC) value calculated using region-of-interest...

Cholecystenteric fistula is one of the rarest complications biliary lithiasis, with a frequency less than 1%.Bouveret syndrome gastric outlet obstruction produced by gallstone(s) located in distal stomach or proximal duodenum.The route gallstone migration to bowel most commonly via cholecystoduodenal fistula; however, fistulization rarer variation.Early diagnosis this situation crucial reduce morbidity and mortality.In report, we present patient cholecystogastric Bouveret syndrome.To our...

Abstract Background. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) of the vulva is a rare low-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings vulvar DFSP were essentially unreported in literature. Case report. We report with its clinical, histological and MRI features. As far we know this first case histologically confirmed presenting MR images. The diagnosis usually made by histopathologic clinical findings. Conclusions. useful both for following up patients since it has high...

Purpose To compare the efficacy and patients' tolerance of a new mixed biphasic oral contrast solution with routine agent in magnetic resonance (MR) enterography (MRE). Materials Methods Thirty-seven patients (group 1) had MRE mixture, whereas 14 2) (lactulose). Magnetic images were evaluated by 2 experienced radiologists. Each intestinal segment was for luminal distension (LD), distinction from surrounding tissue (wall conspicuity), confidence radiologist evaluation specified (radiological...

Coats plus syndrome, cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts, is a rare disease autosomal recessive pattern occurring due to mutation in CTC1, encoding conserved telomere maintenance component 1, gene. Besides retinal involvement, abnormalities brain osteopenia, serious life-threatening bleeding gastrointestinal tract portal hypertension can be observed.A 6-year-old girl syndrome presented the pediatric emergency department vomiting blood stool. An upper lower endoscopy...

Hypertrophic column of Bertin (HCB) may mimic renal mass and lead to unnecessary nephrectomy in some conditions. In this case report we present a patient with HCB, which mimics ultrasonography (US) examination its US, Doppler US magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. contrast the excretory urography (EU) computed tomography (CT) findings MRI entity could not take part literature sufficiently. We suggest that be useful preventing biopsy surgical procedures. conclusion, however, is often...

Aim: Our aim was to investigate the frequency of various splenic cysts, define sonographic differential diagnostic clues and introduce value twinkling artefact in diagnosis epidermoid cysts.Material methods: All cysts imaged by ultrasound 3 university hospitals during period 2005 2022 were recorded, followed-up analyzed.Results: One hundred seventy-one patients with detected these classified 73% simple. Ten as proven post-operative final histology.Conclusion: Cystic lesions are rare. Most...

This study aimed to evaluate the validity of two artificial intelligence (AI)-based bone age assessment programs, BoneXpert and VUNO Med-Bone Age (VUNO), compared with manual assessments using Greulich-Pyle method in Turkish children. METHODSThis included a cohort 292 pediatric cases, ranging from 1 15 years an equal gender number distribution each group.Two radiologists, who were unaware determined by AI, independently evaluated age.The statistical involved intraclass correlation...

We investigated the protective effects of L-carnitine on hippocampus tissue damage in rats during experimental formaldehyde (FA) intoxication. Male Wistar albino were assigned into four groups: (1) control (C), (⁣⁣2) (FA), (3) + 0.5 g/kg (FA LC) (4) 1 LC). At end 14 day trial period, animals sacrificed by decapitation under anesthesia. The samples extracted to measure MDA, GSH and SOD activity. Neuronal degeneration was assessed based histopathological (hematoxylin eosin) immunohistochemical...

To measure the oxidant/antioxidant status of newborn babies with oesophageal atresia and their mothers, compared healthy control subjects.This case-control study included 40 participants: 10 newborns mothers. Whole blood malondialdehyde (MDA) levels activities antioxidant enzymes (catalase, carbonic anhydrase [CA], glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [G-6-PD], superoxide dismutase [SOD]) were measured.MDA CA activity significantly higher, catalase, SOD G-6-PD lower, in mothers than Although...

Virchow-Robin spaces are lesions often seen in the brain parenchyma but their etiopathogenesis remains unsettled. Giant placed midbrain extremely rare. We describe three patients with a diagnosis of giant midbrain, and clinical radiologic findings. reviewed literature terms etiopathology, anatomic appearance differential spaces. The diagno-stic role high Tesla magnetic resonance devices new sequences techniques such as dimensional isotropic acquisition diffusion tensor imaging were also...

Hydrocephalus can be defined as ventriculomegaly secondary to excessive increment of cerebrospinal fluid in ventricular system. The diagnosis hydrocephalus is not a challenge presently, but the exact definition this entity and its etiology often difficult. Early detection vital for accurate early treatment. In childhood, obstructive hydro- cephalus most common type hydrocephalus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiological method providing maximal clinicallyuseful data neededforreachingthe...

Pineal cysts are common incidental findings during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. The etiology of pineal cyst development is still unclear. We aimed to determine whether there an association between periventricular leukomalacia and prevalence.Clinical MRI data 201 patients with (110 female, 91 male; mean age, 6 years; range, 2-18 years) 687 control (355 332 years¸ who did not have any evidence were independently evaluated by two radiologists for presence or absence...
