Neurological Complications after Renal Transplantation: A Retrospective Clinical Study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and types of neurological complications (NCs) and associated factors in renal transplantation (RT) patients.

Methods: Three hundred and forty-four patients who had RT performed at our institution between January 2005 and July 2014 were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: File records of the patients revealed 19 who experienced a total of 22 episodes of NCs, of whom three had more than one episode.

Electroneuromyographic Features in Fabry Disease: A Retrospective Review.

Introduction: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked recessive inherited disorder characterized by lysosomal alpha-galactosidase deficiency. The purpose of our study was to assess and compare the electroneuromyographic (ENMG) findings of 15 patients with Fabry disease and the electroneurographic (ENG) findings of 15 healthy controls. We have not encountered any similar study in the medical literature of our country.

Phenobarbital-induced pellagra resulted in death.

Pellagra is caused by deficiency of niacin or its precursor tryptophan. While cutaneous lesions are the most prominent feature of the disease, gastrointestinal, neurological and psychiatric signs and symptoms are the other characteristics of the disease. In this case report, we present a 29-year-old female patient with discoloration of hands and feet diagnosed with pellagra.

Visual evoked potentials in differential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and neurobehcet's disease.

Behcet's disease, a multisystemic vascular inflammatory disorder of unknown origin, is relatively rare and central nervous system involvement is seen in 5% of affected individuals. This form of the disease, called as neurobehcet's disease (NB), can be misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating disorder of central nervous system, so their differential diagnosis is important. In this study, to identify the parameters of electrophysiological testing that might be useful in their differential diagnosis, we performed evoked potentials (EPs) and electroneuromyography (ENMG) on patients with MS and NB, and on normal volunteers.

Axillary neuropathy mimicking quadrilateral space syndrome and its follow up for one year.

Axillary neuropathy due to entrapment of the nerve in the quadrilateral space is seen rarely. Here, we describe a 24-year-old patient diagnosed with isolated axillary neuropathy that mimicked quadrilateral space syndrome. Quadrilateral or quadrangular space syndrome (QSS), first described by Cahill and Palmer in 1983, was defined as the entrapment of the distal branch of the axillary nerve and the posterior humeral circumflex artery (PHCA) in the quadrangular shaped anatomic space.

Isolated lesion of the cervical spine in a case of neuro-Behcet.

Behcet`s disease is characterized by small vessel vasculitis and involvement of multiple systems. In neuro-Behcet cases, spinal cord involvement is approximately 10-18%. Spinal cord lesions are often associated with cerebral or brainstem lesions, and isolated spinal cord involvement in Behcet`s disease is very rare.

Effects of high stimulus frequencies on SEPs of patients with neuro-Behcet's Disease.

Background: Behcet's disease is a multisystemic vascular inflammatory disorder of unknownorigin. It is relatively rare and central nervous system involvement is seen in 5% of affected individuals. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) can provide information that shows the presence of clinically unsuspected lesions in the central nervous system of these patients.

Microsurgical open mini uniskin incision technique in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Background: Patients who undergo carpal tunnel surgery sometimes complain of the restriction of the grip and pinch function, palmar tenderness, cosmetic problems, and scar formation at the site of the incision.

Aims: We used a modified mini uni-skin incision with appropriate hand position for microscopic view in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome to prevent cosmetic problems related with scar formation after surgery.

Settings And Design: In this study we used two different skin incision techniques; mini uni-skin incision and standard incision.

Correlation of clinical, MRI and Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT findings in neuro-Behçet's disease.

Unlabelled: Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic disorder of unknown cause. In our study, we investigated the utility of Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT and MRI in patients with neuro-Beh,cet's disease (n-BD).

Patients And Methods: Twelve patients (two females, ten males; mean age 33 +/- 9.

Prosthetic treatment of a patient with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: a clinical report.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy syndrome (FSHD) is a rare hereditary myopathy characterized by muscle atrophy and weakness, particularly in the face and upper arms. Patients may also exhibit dental malocclusions. This article presents the prosthodontic treatment for an 18-year old male with FSHD.
