Normal Diameters of Extraocular Muscles: A Nigerian Retrospective Study.

Background: The thickness of extraocular muscles (EOMs) is important in the management of several conditions associated with EOM enlargement. This study determined the normative values of EOM diameters in adult patients seen at a teaching hospital in Nigeria.

Materials And Methods: The study measured the thickness of the EOMs and the interzygomatic line (IZL) on brain images of 300 patients with non-orbital conditions (150 computed tomography [CT] and 150 magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) archived in the radiological database of Delta State University Hospital, Nigeria, after ethical clearance.

Normal diameter of the optic nerve using magnetic resonance imaging: A retrospective Nigerian study.

Purpose: The variations in the diameter of the optic nerve (ON) are important clinically in the diagnosis of conditions associated with the ON such as raised intracranial pressure, meningioma, optic neuritis, and Grave's orbitopathy. This study determined the normal diameters of the ON in adult Nigerians seen in a Hospital in Delta State.

Methods: Axial T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging images of 150 patients (75 males and 75 females) aged ≥20 years were retrieved from the hospital's radiological database and retrospectively used to evaluate the diameter of the ON on axial and coronal sections.

Variations of the Nasal Septum in Adult Nigerians: Computed Tomography Study.

 The morphological variants of the nasal septum have been implicated in sinus pathology and pose a challenge during endoscopic surgeries.  The present study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of nasal septum variants in adult Nigerians.  The present study was performed at the Radiology Department of Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, following ethical approval.

Pneumatization Patterns of the Sphenoid Sinus in Adult Nigerians and Their Clinical Implications.

Background: The variant pneumatization patterns of the sphenoid sinus have significant surgical implications due to their associated inconsistent neurovascular relations. This study aimed at evaluating the pneumatization patterns of the sphenoid sinus in adult Nigerians.

Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at the Radiology Department of a Tertiary Hospital in Nigeria after obtaining institutional ethical approval.

Variant neurovascular relations of the sphenoid sinus in adult Nigerians.

Background: With the advent of endoscopic sinus surgery, the variant neurovascular relations of the sphenoid sinus are important to surgeons to minimise the iatrogenic complications. This study elucidates the variant neurovascular relations of the sphenoid sinus in adult Nigerians.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted at the Radiology Department of Delta State University Teaching Hospital after institutional approval.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Mental Health of Delta State University students, Nigeria.

Background And Aim Of The Work: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a substantial psychological burden among students. This study aimed at evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 on the mental health of university students and determining the prevalence of anxiety and depression.

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study utilized an online questionnaire sent to students in the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, Delta State University after ethical approval.

Intracranial hemorrhage in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that a subset of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients may present with or develop cerebrovascular disease during the course of hospitalization. Whereas ischemic stroke in COVID-19 patients has been well described, data on intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in these patients is still limited. We, therefore, conducted a rapid systematic review of current scientific literature to identify and consolidate evidence of ICH in COVID-19 patients.

Pattern of stroke in a rural Kenyan hospital.

Background: The pattern of stroke in rural population differs from that in urban ones. Although there are many studies on this condition in sub-Saharan Africa, few studies about stroke pattern in a Kenyan rural area exist..
