Background: Cephalohematoma is collection of blood between skull and periosteum that is confined by cranial sutures. Cephalohematomas usually resorb spontaneously within the first month of life; however, if it fails to resolve, ossified cephalohematoma may form.
Methods: Clinical archiving system and picture archiving and communication system were retrospectively reviewed for cases of birth-related cephalohematoma.
Intracranial hydatid cyst is a rare entity, comprising about 2-3% of all hydatid cysts. Similarly, intracranial hydatid cysts account for 1-2% of all intracranial lesions. Clinical symptoms are generally nonspecific and patients usually present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure.

Case Presentation: A 12-year-old boy initially presented with signs and imaging findings of pan-sinusitis.
Background: This study aimed to extend clinical documentation of cerebral calculi by reporting six cases of cerebral calculi with distinct etiologies and localizations.
Methods: We evaluated the age, sex distribution, presenting symptoms, neurological examination findings, pathology results, and location of the calcifications of six patients with intracranial calcifications.
Results: Three of the six patients with brain stones were female (50%), and three were male (50%).
Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the follow-up results of patients who received late-term surgical treatment for peripheral nerve lesions caused by penetrating injuries.
Material And Methods: The study included 25 patients who underwent surgery for peripheral nerve injuries in our clinic between 2007 and 2013. The patients were evaluated with respect to age, gender, etiology of the trauma, the affected nerve, clinical examinations, electrophysiological findings, surgical techniques and functional outcomes.
Amniotic band syndrome is a group of sporadic congenital anomalies that involve the limbs, craniofacial regions and trunk, ranging from simple digital band constriction to complex craniofacial and central nervous system abnormalities. Placento-cranial adhesions in amniotic band syndrome are extremely rare, and severe conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this study, we pooled placento-cranial adhesion case reports that were published in the medical literature and added an unpublished case from our institution.
