Morphometric Study of the Intracranial Fluid Spaces in Schizophrenia.

Background: The intracranial fluid spaces (IFS), also known as "the extra-axial spaces," consist of the superficial cerebral sulci, the Sylvian fissures, the basal cisterns, the third ventricle, the fourth ventricle, and the two lateral ventricles. In diseases such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and especially hydrocephalus, IFS' enlargements are observed.

Objective: Our study aimed to determine the mean values of IFS measurements in patients with schizophrenia and compare them with healthy controls.

Handedness related differences in the intracranial fluid spaces in healthy adults.

Our study aimed to determine the possible differences in linear measurements and linear indices values of intracranial fluid spaces (IFS) between right- and left-handed adults. This work has been carried out on 148 subjects (72 men and 76 women). In the study, 88 right-handers and 60 left-handers were included.

The relationship between splenic length in healthy children from the Eastern Anatolia Region and sex, age, body height and weight.

Purposes: The normal limits of spleen size must be known in order for pathological changes to be noticed. The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the normal limits of spleen size in healthy children and to reveal their relation to sex, age, body height and weight.

Patients And Methods: Three hundred and ten children (150 girls and 160 boys) between 0-16 years of age in Eastern Anatolia Region who had normal spleen ultrasound appearances were included in this study.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the orbit: case report and literature review.

A 68-year-old woman with progressive visual loss and exophthalmos in her right eye had been operated on for a mass in her right calf 3 years earlier. Imaging showed a huge mass invading the orbital structures and temporal pole. The presumptive diagnosis was a malignant orbital tumor.

Sex and handedness differences in size of cerebral ventricles of normal subjects.

Sex and handedness differences in the volumes of cerebral ventricles were studied in 20 right- and 21 left-handed subjects. To assess the volumes of cerebral ventricles, Cavalieri's method was used using MRI. In right-handers, the volume of the lateral ventricle was higher in the right side than in the left side, but, in left-handers, it was higher in the left side than in the right side.
