Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major cognitive disorder classified as a common type of dementia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most practical method for diagnostic purposes in AD. The aim of the study was to determine the volume of the hippocampus and intracranial structures in AD using MRI.

Materials And Methods: This study was performed on 60 fetal cadavers. Formation type and level of the sural nerve was detected.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore how endoscopes can effectively visualize neural and vascular structures in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) region through a minimally invasive approach using a specified anatomical point in the retrosigmoid area.
- The research involved a surgical simulation on 10 fresh cadaver heads, where a small craniotomy was created to test an innovative endoscope cannula alongside different angled endoscopes for capturing detailed views of the CPA.
- Results showed that with the endoscope cannula, surgeons could effectively use both hands during the procedure, enhancing their maneuverability and potentially leading to better outcomes in minimally invasive endoscopic surgery.
Styloid process (SP) is a cylindrical anatomical structure located at the anterior side of stylomastoid foramen. Normally, it is 20 to 25 mm in length and can vary with age and sex. An elongated SP is an unusual source of craniofacial and cervical pain.

It was also the target of this study to reveal the importance of sexual dimorphism in terms of the mastoid triangle. Our study was performed on 140 (70 women, 70 men) multidetector computed tomography images obtained from patients who underwent radiologic examination at the Department of Radiology of Meram Medical Faculty, Necmettin Erbakan University.

Materials And Methods: Our study was performed on 120 (60 women, 60 men) multidetector computed tomography images obtained from patients who underwent radiologic examination in the Department of Radiology of Meram Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University.
Purpose: Caudal epidural block (CEB), administered through the sacral hiatus, is a regional anesthetic technique commonly used in children. To facilitate and optimize pediatric CEB, morphometric data that may be important for the sacral hiatus have been obtained using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
Methods: This study is the first radio-anatomic study designed to address this topic in children.
Objective: It was aimed to research the morphometric development of the nasal cavity with dissection and radiological scanning methods and to detect anatomical variations.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Departments of Anatomy and Radiology, Meram Medical Faculty, Selcuk University.
