A Morphometric Evaluation Together with Computed Tomography Examination of Chiari Type 1 Cases with Craniovertebral Junction Anomaly.

Aim: To compare the posterior cranial fossa (PCF) dimensions together with the measurements related to basilar invagination and platybasia of craniovertebral junction anomalies (CVJA) in CVJA (+) and CVJA (-) Chiari malformation Type 1 (CM1) patient groups with each other and with healthy control subjects.

Material And Methods: The study group was formed of 43 CM1 and 9 tonsillar ectopia (TE) patients.

Results: A decrease was determined in the PCF vertical length (clivus and supraocciput line) and PCF volume and an increase in the transverse length (McRae and Twining line) in the CM1 cases compared to the healthy control group.

Cochleo-facial corridor to the vestibule and fundus of the internal auditory canal through oval window: a minimal invasive and cochlea sparing approach.

Purpose: This cadaveric work aimed to test the effectiveness of a modified surgical corridor (ExpTSA: expanded transcanal supracochlear approach) developed for anatomic cochlear preservation in selected vestibular schwannoma patients necessitating to perform cochlear implantation for appropriate cases to achieve the best outcome.

Methods: The ears of 10 cadavers (at mean age 75.70 ± 13.

Evaluation of Bell's palsy in the cerebellopontine angle: An MRI study.

Background: Evaluation of cranial nerve morphology through measuring cross-sectional area (CSA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasing day-by-day in clinical diseases. In Bell's palsy (BP), the manifestation of the enlarged CSA of the facial nerve (FN) may be used for diagnosis. This study aims to evaluate whether there is an enlargement of the cisternal FN in BP.

A Computed Tomography Study of the Prechiasmatic Sulcus Anatomy in Children.

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of the prechiasmatic sulcus in children aged between 1-20 years.

Methods: Patient files of 200 children admitted to the university hospital on 2019 were analyzed, retrospectively. The computed tomography images of patients were used to obtain anatomical knowledge containing prechiasmatic sulcus types and dimensions.

Anatomy of the Anterior Clinoid Process in Human Fetuses.

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to display the morphologic properties of the anterior clinoid process (ACP) in human fetuses in term of early childhood surgeries.

Methods: Twenty-four (10 females and 14 males) fetal cadavers aged from 16th to 28th weeks of gestation (at mean, 21.54 ± 3.
