Incidence of Neuropathic Pain in Patients with Thoracic Disc Pathologies Presenting with Chronic Upper Back Pain and Correlation of Herniation Grade with Pain Severity.

Aim: To determine the incidence of neuropathic pain (NP) in patients with thoracic disc herniation (TDH) and to determine whether there is any correlation between pain severity and herniation grade.

Material And Methods: A total of 110 patients diagnosed with TDH with chronic non-specific thoracic spine pain were included in our cross-sectional observational study. Data including magnetic resonance imaging findings, bulging, protrusion, extrusion and sequestration were retrospectively analysed.

Brain perfusion MRI findings in patients with Behcet's disease.

Objective: To search brain perfusion MRI (pMRI) changes in Behcet's disease (BD) with or without neurological involvement.

Materials And Method: The pMRI were performed in 34 patients with BD and 16 healthy controls. Based on neurologic examination and post-contrast MRI, 12 patients were classified as Neuro-Behcet (group 1, NBD) and 22 patients as BD without neurological involvement (group 2).
