Aim Of The Study: The present study was focused on the investigation of some pharmacological activities, such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing effects, of cold-pressed oil of Pinus halepensis Mill.
Aim: To retrospectively evaluate the relationships between morphometric measurements in craniovertebral junction, and the possible genetic basis of the disease in Chiari 1 malformation patients undergoing surgical treatment.
Material And Methods: We included patients who underwent surgical treatment for Chiari 1 malformation with unknown etiology between 2013-2018 in the Neuosurgery Clinic of Eskişehir Osmangazi University. Morphometric and volumetric measurements of the posterior fossa from cranial and cervical radiological imagings of patients with Chiari 1 malformation were performed by a single experienced observer.
