Factors associated with the thickness of the ligamentum flavum: is ligamentum flavum thickening due to hypertrophy or buckling?
STUDY DESIGN Ligamentum flavum (LF) thickness was measured by using lumbar magnetic resonance imaging in patients with low back or leg pain. OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether LF thickening is due to hypertrophy or buckling related to disc degeneration and examined the correlations between the thickness of the LF and age, sex, body mass index… (More)
Is topical tissue plasminogen activator application effective on prevention of post-laminectomy epidural fibrosis? An experimental study.
OBJECTIVE Impaired fibrinolytic activity has been shown to be associated with poor outcome after lumbar disc surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of topical tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in preventing epidural fibrosis in rats. METHODS L4-L5 laminectomy was performed under surgical microscope in 40 rats. Animals received… (More)
A rare but fatal case of granulomatous amebic encephalitis with brain abscess: the first case reported from Turkey.
The incidence of protozoal and helminthic infestations of the central nervous system (CNS) is less than 1%, but these infestations tend to follow a fatal course. They are more common among children, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. CNS infections due to Entamoeba histolytica have been known for a long time. In recent years, especially in… (More)
Comparison of E-selectin and the other inflammatory markers in lumbar disc herniation: a new promising therapeutical window for radicular pain.
STUDY DESIGN Histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of the herniated disc specimens obtained from 50 patients who had unilateral persistent radicular pain or unilateral radicular motor paresis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of inflammatory cells in lumbar disc herniations (LDH) and compare the prevalence of… (More)
Delayed radiation myelopathy: Differential diagnosis with positron emission tomography/computed tomography examination
Myelopathy is a rare but serious complication of radiation therapy (RT). Radiation myelopathy is white matter damage to the spinal cord developed after a certain period of application of ionizing radiation. Factors such as radiation dose and time between applications affect the occurrence as well as the severity of myelopathy. In those patients, positron… (More)
Recurrent ischemic stroke as an initial manifestation of an concealed pancreatic adenocarcinoma: Trousseau's syndrome.
In rare instances, stroke may precede a diagnosis of cancer and be the first clinical evidence of an underlying malignancy.Cerebral infarction mostly complicates lymphomas, carcinomas, and solid tumors. Malignancy-related thromboembolism can present as acute cerebral infarction, nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis and migratory thrombophlebitis. It is… (More)
A non-bleeding complex intracerebral giant aneurysm case: case report.
An intracranial aneurysm with a diameter larger than 25 mm is considered a giant aneurysm (GA), and represent about 3-5% of all aneurysms. They are divided into two forms, specifically saccular and fusiform. Fusiform aneurysms are rare, making up only 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. They frequently involve the internal carotid artery (ICA) or the basilar… (More)
Five-year follow-up results for patients diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma and effectiveness of concomitant therapy with temozolomide for recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma
BACKGROUND Anaplastic astrocytoma (AA; WHO grade-III) patients determination of prognostic factors helps generating multimodal therapy protocols. For this purpose, in the Baskent University, Adana Medical Research Center, specific characteristics of AA patients who have surgery were retrospectively investigated and factors which affect prognosis has been… (More)
A rare case of massive NF1 with invasion of entire spinal axis by neurofibromas: case report.
Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) is a type of phakomatosis inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Also called 'von Recklinghausen disease' or 'peripheral neurofibromatosis', it comprises 90% of all neurofibromatosis (NF) cases. It is characterized by multiple peripheral nerve sheath tumors of benign character called neurofibromas. Surgical intervention… (More)
