Primary neurolymphomatosis is an extremely rare tumor. We report the case of a 74-year-old patient presenting with dysphagia and hoarseness. Initial contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the head, neck, and chest did not reveal any lesions. His symptoms improved with short-term administration of prednisone but recurred and deteriorated. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a tumor along ...

introduction : one of the key factors in successful endodontic therapy is to adequately fill the root canals. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the quality of four different root canal obturation techniques: cold lateral condensation (clc), warm vertical condensation (wvc), obtura ii (oii) and gutta flow (gf) by using micro-computed tomography (micro ct). materials and methods: a to...

INTRODUCTION Diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis as the cause of stroke is often delayed because of non-specific clinical presentation. F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography may help to accurately diagnose and monitor Takayasu's arteritis in stroke patients. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a left middle cerebral artery stroke in a 39-year-old man. Labo...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT) are useful for the evaluation of central nervous system (CNS) lupus. This report describes the use of cranial MR and CT in 21 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with acute neuropsychiatric symptoms manifested by headache, seizures, focal neurological deficits, psychosis, or organic brain syndrome. Computed tomography was...

This study demonstrated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography for large-sized splenic hemangiosarcoma. Radiography and ultrasonography revealed the presence of a large-sized soft-tissue mass in the cranial abdomen. Computed tomography showed hypoattenuating mass. The mass was located in contact with liver, spleen and stomach, and the origin of the mass remained ambiguous. The...

BACKGROUND Tinnitus, occurring at least once in a lifetime in about 10-20% of the population, is an important clinical problem with complex etiology. Rare causes of tinnitus include cranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs), which are usually small lesions consisting of abnormal connections between branches of dural arteries and venous sinuses or veins. CASE REPORT Authors present a case o...

Landau-Kleffner syndrome is characterized by a complex group of symptoms including deterioration in language skills, seizures, and abnormal electroencephalography findings. A six-year-old male patient had aphasia for three years and generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures for two years. Pure-tone audiometry and auditory brain-stem response audiometry findings were normal. He had verbal audi...
