Computed tomography of the head with and without contrast in imaging focal and unknown epilepsy - A prospective observational study.

Purpose: Brain imaging is needed when investigating epilepsy. Imaging options available include MRI and CT scan which may be non-contrast (NCCT) or contrast-enhanced (CECT). The specific clinical question and probable epilepsy substrate in the epidemiological context and socioeconomic milieu are important in determining the choice of imaging.

Radiological Features and Management of Intracranial Aneurysms Associated With Moyamoya Disease: A Case Series of Single-Center Experience.

Background Moyamoya disease (MMD) can be a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke. Though extensive angiographic studies have been undertaken, the understanding of the association between aneurysms and MMD remains unanswered. In this study, we explore the association of the aneurysm with MMD and its management.

Effect of Age, Stage, and Type of Surgical Revascularization on Clinical and Angiographic Outcome in Moyamoya Disease - Experience from a Case Series of 175 Revascularization Procedures.

Background: There is dearth of literature on impact of age - pediatric versus adult, Suzuki staging - early versus late, and revascularization type - indirect versus direct on clinical and angiographic outcome in moyamoya disease (MMD). Hence, we intend to comprehensively evaluate factors influencing outcome in MMD following surgical revascularization.

Methods: MMD patients operated at our institute from January 2011 to August 2018 were followed for an average 24 months.

Morphometric Analysis of C2 Pedicle in 247 Patients and Proposal for Trajectory and Size of Pedicle Screw.

Background: Screw diameters are currently available based on the literature available for the Western population. No data are available in such a large number of patients for the Indian population.

Objective: The aim of this study was to define the average pedicle size available and to determine the angulation for placement of screws for C2 pedicle in the Indian population.

Feasibility of Double Anterior Odontoid Screw: A CT-Based Morphometric Analysis of the Axis in Adult Indian Population.

Background: The fractures of the odontoid process constitute 10% of all cervical spine injuries. Odontoid screw placement, although technically challenging, in indicated cases is the ideal treatment. Hence, a thorough knowledge of the odontoid dimensions is necessary prior to the surgical endeavor, more so for planning double odontoid screws.
