Objective: COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus and turned into a pandemic in a short time, affects many organs and systems, especially the nervous system. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the morphological and volumetric changes in cortical and subcortical structures in recovered COVID-19 patients.
Background: We think that COVID-19 has a long-term effect on cortical and subcortical structures.
Purpose: Chiari malformation type 1 (CM-1) is a posterior fossa anomaly characterized by herniation of the cerebellar tonsils from the foramen magnum (FM). This study compares FM, medulla spinalis (MS), and herniated cerebellar tonsils ratios by making area measurements from axial plane MRI in CM-1 patients and the control group.
Methods: Our study evaluated 30 pediatric patients with CM-1 and 30 people in the control group.
Purpose: The double tendon of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle was observed on the left leg of a 80-year-old male cadaver.
Methods: A male cadaver 80 years old was subjected to routine anatomical dissection for research and teaching purposes.
Results: The main tendon of the EDL muscle started just at the end of the muscle belly.
Purpose: One out of three migraine patients might have accompanying restless legs syndrome (RLS). In our study, we aimed to compare the volumes of the brain structures of migraineurs with and without RLS.
Methods: We had 37 female patients with migraine and 17 females as the control group.
