Moyamoya disease and moyamoya syndrome: A case series from multicentre private hospitals in Indonesia.

Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) and moyamoya syndrome (MMS) are considered rare in Indonesia, without any proper epidemiological data backing this claim. Hence, this case series aims to assess all MMD and MMS cases from the perspective of a multicentre private hospital in Indonesia.

Methods: This is a descriptive analysis using data from the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) from January 2019 to December 2023.

High Prevalence of Myocardial Bridging Detected in an Indonesian Population Using Multi-Detector Computed Tomography.

: Myocardial bridging (MB) is still not yet considered a significant finding in Indonesia both radiographically and clinically. Hence, this article aims to assess the prevalence of MB using multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and look at factors contributing to stenosis amongst patients with MB. This study is cross-sectional in a single centre, with consecutive sampling, looking at all patients who underwent a multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scan from February 2021 until February 2023.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy of chest ultrasound in diagnosing pediatric pulmonary tuberculosis.

Introduction: Despite medical advancement, pediatric pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) still has high morbidity and mortality, due to challenging detection in clinical practice. Ultrasound has been touted as the next best diagnostic tool but currently, this claim is unfounded. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review the diagnostic parameters of chest ultrasound in diagnosing pediatric PTB.

Intracranial tuberculomas: review of MRI findings and clinical features.

Aim: To present a comprehensive analysis of the clinical features and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of intracranial tuberculomas in Indonesia.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of brain MRI from 58 patients (29 women), mean age ± SD = 39 ± 2 years, diagnosed with intracranial tuberculomas. Clinical data, including symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid examination results, and MRI were also analysed.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicted cerebral infarction and poor discharge functional outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A propensity score matching analysis.

Background: Neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte-ratio (PLR) have emerged as potential biomarkers in predicting the outcomes of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Since a study was never conducted on the Southeast Asian and Indonesian population, we designed the present study to evaluate the potential of NLR and PLR in predicting cerebral infarction and functional outcomes and find the optimal cutoff value.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients admitted for aSAH in our hospital between 2017 and 2021.
