Traumatic atlantooccipital dislocation with survival.
Traumatic atlantooccipital dislocation is generally considered incompatible with life. However, there have been isolated survivals from this injury, and a few patients initially have minimal neurologic deficits disproportionate to the gravity of their injury, a feature that has not been adequately stressed. The potentially catastrophic results of delayed therapy make early radiographic detectio...
متن کاملEstimating and comparing the radiation cancer risk from cone-beam computed tomography and panoramic radiography in pediatric and adult patients
Background: This study aimed to estimate and compare the absorbed dose, lifetime cancer risk and mortalities due to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic examinations on patients. Materials and Methods: The exposure factors were applied to 332 patients in two age groups (6-10, and ˃18-year-old). The dose-area product (DAP) values were measured for CBCT and panoramic radiographies. ...
متن کاملTraumatic atlantooccipital dislocation: two cases with survival.
These two cases with long-term survival after anterior and posterior AO dislocation point out the importance of making the diagnosis. Our simple technique of rapid CT confirmation of AO dislocation is a practical adjuvant procedure, particularly in patients with suspected intracranial injury.
متن کاملComputed Tomographic Morphometric Study of the Occipital Bone Thickness in 100 Adult, Moroccan Patients
Background: Occipital cervical fixation (OCF) is an important and difficult technic and has certain risks due to its relation with adjacent special anatomic features. One of specific areas to perform screw fixation and to prevent technical failures is the thickness of the occipital bone which require detailed morphological anatomical knowledge. To our knowledge, no published study has provided ...
متن کاملIncidental Findings in Patients Evaluated for Pulmonary Embolism Using Computed Tomography Angiography
Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of PE. In addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to PE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...
