Evaluation of the contralateral hemisphere with DWI in pediatric patients with Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome.

Introduction: Dyke-Davidoff-Masson Syndrome (DDMS) is a clinical syndrome that causes different clinical symptoms and is defined by volume decrement in one cerebral hemisphere. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the involvement of the normal-appearing contralateral hemisphere in 16 pediatric patients with DDMS using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).

"Leave me alone": anatomical structures and variations seen on computed tomography of the temporal bone.

The anatomical structure of the temporal bone is quite complex. There are a great number of anatomical variations that are often confused with temporal bone pathologies, especially fractures. It is important that radiologists and surgeons be able to recognize such variations.

Comparison of Different Slice Thicknesses on Chest Computed Tomography for Evaluation of COVID-19- Associated Pneumonia.

Objective: To compare the value of chest computed tomography at 1-mm and 5-mm slice thickness in terms of computed tomography severity score and computed tomography evaluation time in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

The 1 mm and 5 mm reconstructed images were evaluated in 2 different sessions with 4-week intervals by 2 certificated general radiologists.

Case Report: Isolated Renal Hydatid Cyst in a Boy.

Hydatic cyst is a crucial and prevalent parasitic disease in the developing countries in the Mediterranean region. Its diagnosis is sometimes problematic because of non-specific complaints and unavailability of any positive results in a routine laboratory analysis. Isolated renal hydatid cysts are very rare.

Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome in Which a Different De Novo Actg2 Gene Mutation was Detected: A Case Report.

Introduction: Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is characterized by bladder distension without urinary tract obstruction, decreased or absent intestinal peristalsis and microcolon. Although the definitive cause remains unknown, changes in the ACTG2 gene are thought to be responsible for the intestinal and bladder hypoperistalsis.

Case Report: This female newborn with MMIHS had a c.

Beaver tail liver.

Also known as the sliver of liver, beaver tail liver is an anatomic variation of the liver where its left lobe extends laterally to contact and enclose the spleen. Hepatic parenchyma is normal. It may be difficult to distinguish the two organs from each other when both have equal echogenicity or density in ultrasonography and computed tomography.

Assessment of sphenoid sinus related anatomic variations with computed tomography.

Background: During embryonal period, complete obliteration of the urachus at the umbilicus and incomplete closure at the bladder level are the cause of vesicourachal diverticulum. This abnormality is a rare finding that is usually discovered incidentally during radiological evaluation. Occasionally, stones have been detected within the diverticulum.

Diagnosis of High Bifurcation of the Abdominal Aorta with Associated Vascular Variations: Case Report with Multidedector Computed Tomography.

Background: Variations of the branches and bifurcation of the abdominal aorta and their relations with other abdominal structures and organs are important concerning abdominal and spinal surgery.

Case Report: In this report, authors present a high -positioned bifurcation of the abdominal aorta at the level of the L3 vertebral body and its associations with multiple variations of other abdominal arteries during contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) examination of the abdomen.

Conclusions: We reported on a unique clinically and surgically significant case of variations of the abdominal aorta as related to the location and type of bifurcation.

In this report, twenty-eight important and frequently seen neuroradiological signs in childhood are presented and described using X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) images, illustrations and photographs.

Confirming the brain death diagnosis using brain CT angiography: experience in Tokat State Hospital.

Objective: Fourteen brain death cases diagnosed in Mart 2012-May 2013 period in Tokat State Hospital were studied retrospectively. CT angiography experience about those cases was shared, and use of CT angiography in confirmation of brain death was discussed.

Material And Methods: All 14 cases were patients on mechanical ventilator, who did not respond to medical and surgical treatments at intensive care unit and were diagnosed clinically with brain death.

An MRI study of age-related changes in the dimensions related temporal lobe.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect age-related changes on the MRI-based parameters related to several measurement of temporal lobe in the lifespan of adult persons. MRI scans of head (n=236) were reviewed retrospectively to identify abnormalities of temporal lobe, third ventricle, and temporal horn of lateral ventricle. Patients were divided into 3 study groups according to their age.

Carotid artery Doppler ultrasonography in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Background: We investigated the changes in the values of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and Doppler index measurements in the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Primary malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity.

Primary malignant melanoma of the nose and paranasal sinus mucosa is a rare disease and seen in less than 1% among all melanomas. Malignant melanomas have 2 origins: cutaneous and mucosal. The mucosal form has a worse prognosis because of its aggressiveness compared with that of the cutaneous form.

Elongated styloid process associated with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

This article presents a case with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) and an elongated styloid process. Basal cell carcinoma syndrome, also known as Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome manifested by multiple defects involving the skin, nervous system, eyes, endocrine system, and bones. Elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament cause craniofacial or cervical pain.

Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy in an Infant: Observations by CT, Contrast-Enhanced MRI and Diffusion MRI. A Case Report.

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is characterized by bilateral necrotic, hemorrhagic lesions which occur symmetrically in the thalami, dorsal brainstem and dentate nuclei. Development of an extensive breakdown of the blood-brain barrier in the prominent lesions of acute necrotizing encephalopathy was demonstrated in a seven-month-old boy with the disorder, within 14 h after hospitalization by an initially negative post-contrast CT scan, and subsequently positive post-contrast T1-weighted MRI. Diffusion MRI demonstrated concomitant cytotoxic and vasogenic edema in the lesions.
