Evaluation of the Level of Dural Sac Tip in Saudi Population: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Background For the success of procedures such as caudal block, craniospinal irradiation (CSI), and management of lower back pain and to minimize the risk of dural puncture the exact level of dural sac (DS) termination should be known. Objective The evaluation of DS tip location in the Saudi population and exploring possible significant factors that could be used as predictors in clinical prognosis. Methods A total of 200 patients' lumbar sagittal Weighted T2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) study were randomly selected from a single-center hospital in-between 2020 and 2021.

Pediatric Stroke from Bench to Bedside: A Single-Center Experience in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: Stroke is a leading cause of severe long-term disability and death worldwide. This study aimed to determine the genetic background, causative factors, and diagnostic and outcome measures of pediatric stroke in an area endemic to sickle cell disease (SCD).

Patients And Methods: This retrospective review analyzed pediatric patients with acute stroke who were admitted to King Fahd Hospital of the University, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia, between January and June 2019.

Multiple Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas Manifesting as Progressive Otalgia and Tinnitus and Treated Using a Single Session of Endovascular Embolization.

Background: Multiple cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are considered to be an uncommon vascular condition. dAVFs usually manifest with vague symptoms, which are related to the site of occurrence of the lesion and present with complex angio-architectural features, which in turn can render treatment procedures difficult. Appropriate treatment that aims to reduce the risk of intracranial bleeding and manage the patient's symptoms requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Rates of cerebrospinal fluid infection and the causative organisms following shunt procedures in Saudi Arabia. A retrospective study based on radiological findings.

To assess the incidence of infection following various cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt procedures among patients with hydrocephalus and related conditions, based on the age of the patient, and to determine the types of pathogens responsible for shunt infections. Methods: This retrospective single center study reviewed the records of patients with culture-confirmed CSF shunt infection diagnosed between January 2012 and December 2017. Cases without central nervous system imaging investigations were excluded.

A ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysm presenting as tentorial and spinal isolated subdural hemorrhage: a case report and literature review.

Background: Ruptured intracranial aneurysms are often associated with subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhage. However, the prevalence of subdural hemorrhage post aneurysmal rupture is low and rarely reported in scientific studies. Here, we report an unusual case of a ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysm resulting in an isolated subdural hematoma located in the tentorial and spinal canal without subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhage.

Can apparent diffusion coefficient values help distinguish between different types of pediatric brain tumors?

Rationale And Objectives: Classifying brain tumors is challenging, but recently developed imaging techniques offer the opportunity for neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons to diagnose, differentiate, and manage different types of brain tumors. Such advances will be reflected in improvements in patients' life expectancy and quality of life. Among the newest techniques, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), which tracks the rate of microscopic water diffusion within tissues, has become a focus of investigation.

Neuroschistosomiasis mimicking lower back pain: case report of a rare differential diagnosis in a pediatric patient.

Background: Spinal myelitis is an infrequent manifestation of spinal cord infection. It is caused by the species, which are endemic in South America, part of the Middle East, and Africa.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 13-year-old male adolescent complaining of progressive lower back pain and weakness of the lower extremities for 3 days.

Radiological sinonasal anatomy. Exploring the Saudi population.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of common radiological variants of sinonasal anatomy among Saudi population and compare it with the reported prevalence of these variants in other ethnic and population groups. 

Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of 121 computerized tomography scans of the nose and paranasal sinuses of patients presented with sinonasal symptoms to the Department of Otorhinolarngology, King Fahad Hospital of the University, Khobar, Saudi Arabia, between January 2014 and May 2014. 

Results: Scans of 121 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria were reviewed.
