correlation of preoperative sinusitis patients' characteristics with final diagnostic findings.

Correlation of preoperative sinusitis patients' characteristics with final diagnostic findings.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common disease which is usually diagnosed clinically, considering the combination of natural history, physical examination and imaging studies. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of routine postoperative histopathologic examination (POHE) in patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSWP), or without polyposis (C...

Correlation of preoperative HRCT findings with surgical findings in Unsafe CSOM

Schizencephaly: correlation of clinical findings with MR characteristics.

PURPOSE To correlate clinical outcome with the size and location of clefts in patients with schizencephaly. PATIENTS AND METHODS MR scans and clinical records of 20 patients with schizencephaly were retrospectively reviewed. Seven patients had bilateral clefts (10 open lip clefts, 4 closed lip clefts), eight patients had right-sided unilateral clefts (5 open lip clefts, 3 closed lip clefts), ...

Comparison of Preoperative Temporal Bone CT with Intraoperative Findings in Patients with Cholesteatoma

Introduction: Cholesteatoma is traditionally diagnosed by otoscopic examination and treated by surgery. The necessity for imaging in an uncomplicated case is controversial. This study was planned to investigate the usefulness of a preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan in depicting the status of middle ear structures in the presence of cholesteatoma and also to compare the...

Preoperative staging of rectal cancer with MR Imaging: correlation with surgical and histopathologic findings.

Rectal cancer is a common malignancy that continues to have a highly variable outcome, with local pelvic recurrence after surgical resection usually leading to incurable disease. The success of tumor excision depends largely upon accurate tumor staging and appropriate surgical technique, although the results of recent surgical trials indicate that evaluation of the involvement of the mesorectal...

Correlation of Preoperative HE-4 and CA125 with Ovarian Cancer Staging in Ahvaz Imam Khomeni Hospital

  Background: Given that ovarian cancer symptoms are nonspecific and that appropriate surgical staging and pathological grading are important for the best treatment and prognosis of patients, this study aimed to determine the correlation of preoperative serum levels of CA125 and He4 with staging and grading. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 29 patients with epithelial...
