A narrative review of magnetic resonance imaging findings in pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Background And Aims: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare neurological disorder in the pediatric population which is defined as an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) without the presence of brain parenchymal lesions, hydrocephalus, or central nervous system infection. In this study, we have determined the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in IIH patients.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the electronic databases including Web of Sciences, Scopus, and Pubmed to identify suitable and relevant articles using keyword search methods.

Correlation of ADC values of adult brain tumors with the diagnosis and pathological grade: A cross-sectional multicenter study.

Background And Aim: Brain tumors are common, requiring physicians to have a precise understanding of them for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Considering that various histological tumor types present different cellularity, we conducted this research to examine the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the differential diagnosis and pathologic grading of brain tumor types.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we gathered pathology reports of histological samples of adult brain tumors.

The diagnostic value of MRI findings in pediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a case-control study.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a rare medical condition in children. Based on the different radiological findings reported in various studies in pediatric IIH, this study was conducted to determine the diagnostic value of MRI findings in diagnosing IIH in children.

Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical records of all children aged 1 to 18 years who visited Ghaem Hospital in Mashhad, Iran, between 2012 and 2022 and were diagnosed with IIH were gathered.

Multiple renal angiomyolipomas with asymptomatic nontraumatic pulmonary fat embolus: A case report.

Although retroperitoneal bleeding and massive hematuria are potential complications of angiomyolipoma (AML), the pulmonary embolism as a presenting symptom is extremely rare. It is important to be aware that benign AMLs can present with pulmonary fat embolism.

A rare case of giant mediastinal thymolipoma in an 18-year man.

Thymolipoma is a rare benign thymic lesion that can manifest as a sizable anterior mediastinal mass. Considering their rarity and challenging preoperative diagnosis, it is crucial to consider these tumors when dealing with anterior mediastinal masses.

Differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules: A cross-sectional study on the comparison of diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography and fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Background And Aim: This study examines the comparison of ultrasound elastography and fine needle aspiration (FNA) in diagnosing thyroid cancers and investigates the use of elastography as the initial diagnostic test of thyroid cancers to avoid the need for invasive diagnostic tests.

Methods: In this study, 28 patients with 48 thyroid nodules (TNs) who were candidates for FNA or surgery were examined within a period of 18 months. Cut-off and subsequently sensitivity and specificity for elastography results, compared to pathology results as the gold standard, were calculated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).

Changes in Anterior Chamber Parameters Measured by Pentacam in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Infection: A Longitudinal Study.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in anterior segment parameters measured by imaging in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.

Methods: This longitudinal observational study included patients who recovered from COVID-19. All subjects exhibited a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 with a positive result of nasopharyngeal reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction evaluation.
