Evaluation of lamina papyracea dehiscence with paranasal computed tomography.

Introduction: The lamina papyracea is the thin line between the ethmoid sinus and the medial orbital wall. Knowledge of the presence of the lamina papyracea dehiscence (LPD) bears critical importance to prevent misdiagnosis of fractures at this level and to define the anatomy before sinonasal surgery, including Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). The present study is therefore intended to determine the incidence of LPD in paranasal computed tomography, to identify its imaging characteristics in CT, and to compare with the literature.

Gynecomastia on Thoracic Computed Tomography.

Background and objective Gynecomastia is a benign proliferation of ductal epithelium in the retroareolar region in male patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of gynecomastia in male patients who underwent thoracic computed tomography (CT) imaging at our clinic, assess possible causes, highlight the imaging characteristics of gynecomastia, and compare our findings with the literature. Materials and methods Male patients over 18 years of age who underwent thoracic CT imaging in our clinic were included in the study.

Relation between anterior ethmoidal artery course on computed tomography and supraorbital ethmoid cell and Keros classification.

Purpose: The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is an important risk area in endoscopic sinus surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the course of AEA according to the Keros classification and the presence of supraorbital ethmoid cell (SOEC) and to prevent possible complications by emphasizing the importance of preoperative paranasal computed tomography (CT) imaging. This approach will increase the effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery and improve patient safety.

An isolated congenital absence of right pulmonary artery associated with pulmonary hypertension with coronary collaterals: A case report.

Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) resulting from a defect in the aortic arch's embryogenesis. Patients who survive into adulthood is rare. Herein, we presented a case of UAPA with pulmonary hypertension in a 49-year old female.

CT Evaluation of Swallowed Foreign Bodies Located in the Gastrointestinal System.

Background and objective CT imaging is important in detecting the location and the structure of swallowed foreign bodies and assessing their complications, due to its features such as the ability to show the detailed anatomical structure and enable multiplanar examination. In this study, we aimed to analyze the CT findings of swallowed foreign bodies located in the gastrointestinal tract and compare them with the data in the existing literature. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective archive study to achieve our goals.

Evaluation of thyroid Zuckerkandl tubercle by computed tomography.

Purpose: This study investigated the incidence of thyroid Zuckerkandl Tubercle (ZT) using a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck with contrast to identify the typologies in ZT-positive CT scans, investigate the presence of nodules located in that area, and compare the results with the relevant literature.

Methods: We selected and retrospectively examined the CT scan images of patients who presented to our clinic with CT scans of the neck with contrast that clearly showed thyroid tissue and boundaries. Patients were evaluated based on age, gender, and presence of thyroid ZT.

Persistent trigeminal artery detected on computed tomography angiography.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of persistent trigeminal arteries (PTAs) using computed tomography (CT) angiography, emphasize its major characteristics, and compare the findings with those reported in the relevant literature.

Methods: Patients who underwent cerebral CT angiography in our radiology clinic for any preliminary diagnosis between December 2013 and December 2020 were included in this retrospective study. The patients were reviewed in terms of their age, sex, and the presence of PTAs.

A Rare Neck Pathology in Children; Congenital Sıalocutanous Fistule: A Case Report.

Introduction And Background: In this article, we aimed to present a congenital sialocutaneous fistula originating from the parotid gland in a 4-year-old child with MR findings.

Case Presentation: A 4-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a small hole in the inferior right half of the neck and a sticky fluid coming out of this area. Neck ultrasonography (US) and contrast neck Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were performed on the patient.

Examination of Spinal Canal Anatomy with MRI Measurements in Lomber Disc Herniation Patients: An Anesthesiologist Viewpoint.

Background And Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) to identify the challenges associated with neuraxial anesthesia.

Materials And Methods: The MRI images in the supine position of 203 patients admitted to hospital with complaints of lower back pain were studied. Medial sagittal slices of the lumbar spine were imaged from L1 to S1.

Relationship Between Pituitary Siderosis and Endocrinological Disorders in Pediatric Patients with Beta-Thalassemia.

Introduction Excess iron accumulation occurs mainly in organs such as reticuloendothelial cells, the pituitary gland, and the pancreas in beta-thalassemia because of blood transfusions. In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between T2* values on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinically diagnosed pituitary endocrinological disorders in children with thalassemia major. Methods This study enrolled patients diagnosed with beta-thalassemia at pediatric hematology outpatient clinics.

Can pre-procedural MRI signal intensity ratio predict the success of uterine artery embolization in treatment of myomas?

Background/aim: Magnetic resonance (MR) images, signal intensity ratios calculated using region of interests (ROI) in T2W images by proportioning the dominant myoma to iliac muscle can aid patient selection and, thus, in achieving better outcomes with the uterine artery embolization (UAE) procedure. The present study investigates the association between the success of UAE treatment with signal intensity (SI) ratio of the dominant myoma to the iliac muscle in MR imaging performed prior to the procedure.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study and included 30 patients who admitted to our clinic between February 2017 and July 2019 due to symptoms associated with myoma and who underwent MR imaging before and after UAE treatment.

Arachnoid cysts with spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage and associated subdural hematoma: Report of management and follow-up of 2 cases.

Arachnoid cysts are one of the most frequently encountered intracranial space-occupying lesions in daily neurosurgery and neuroradiology practice. Majority of arachnoid cysts, particularly those of smaller sizes, have a benign uneventful lifetime course. Certain symptoms may indicate serious complications related to underlying arachnoid cysts.

Accessory liver within the thoracic cavity.

Ectopic intrathoracic liver tissue is extremely rare. Studies are mainly limited to case reports. In the vast majority of reported cases, a diagnosis of intrathoracic liver tissue was made either after a thoracic surgery or during a postmortem examination.

Evaluation of the multi-slice computed tomography outcomes in diaphragmatic injuries related to penetrating and blunt trauma.
