Introduction And Importance: Duplication of the middle turbinate is an extremely rare condition encountered in rhinology clinic. Knowledge and awareness of the nasal turbinates' variations are important to perform a safe endoscopic surgery and evaluate patients with inflammatory sinus diseases.
Case Presentation: Case series of two patients who visited rhinology clinic in academic university hospital.
Background: A high mega jugular Bulb is an enlarged and swollen upper portion of the internal jugular vein with a variation of its anatomical position among the population, mostly situated below the hypotympanum. Although most cases of jugular bulb diverticulum are asymptomatic, excessive pressure on the surrounding structures might cause various symptoms, most prominently vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss, or tinnitus.
Case Report: A middle-aged male who was referred to the Department of Neurology with a recurrent complaint of left-sided facial weakness associated with headache and vertigo for a period of 24 months.
Purpose: To investigate F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine positron emission tomography (FET-PET) imaging characteristics of adult brainstem glioma (BSG).
Materials And Methods: FET-PET imaging and progression-free survival (PFS) of 16 adult patients with BSG was analyzed (9 high-grade gliomas, 7 low-grade gliomas). SUV, TBR, and time activity curves of FET-PET were calculated.
