Ipsilateral invasion of the cervical sympathetic plexus, leading to Horner's syndrome (miosis, enophthalmos, ptosis) in 14-50% of patients [2] . Ipsilateral reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the arm, with enhanced sensitivity to touch, and skin changes. Shoulder and arm pain (from the brachial plexus invasion C8-T1) with wasting of the intrinsic hand muscles and paraesthesiae in the medial side o...

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory multisystem disorder of unknown cause. Approximately 5-7% of patients manifest symptoms of central nervous system involvement, or neurosarcoidosis. Cranial neuropathy usually entails facial nerve palsy and optic neuritis. Sudden hearing loss has been reported in fewer than 20 cases. Herewith, two new cases of sudden hearing loss due to probable neurosarcoidosis ar...

Sarcoidosis with cranial polyneuritis and mediastinal granulomatous compression as a cause of unilateral left vocal fold paralysis has been reported infrequently. No case of sarcoidosis causing bilateral vocal fold paralysis in the abducted position has been reported in the Otolaryngology/Voice literature. Vocal fold function can be impacted in sarcoidosis by direct laryngeal involvement or by ...

hydatid disease is a rare parasitic disease, which mainly involves liver then lung tissues. cardiac involvement is very rare, especially when there is not hepatic involvement. we describe a 47-year-old woman with a history of a lung hydatid cyst who was referred to rajaei heart center, tehran, iran in 2012. her chest computed tomographic scan showed a cardiac mass. echocardiographic examination...

UNLABELLED Nasogastric tube syndrome is an uncommon but a potentially life-threatening complication of nasogastric intubation. It presents as an acute upper airway obstruction secondary to bilateral abductor vocal cord dysfunction resulting from postcricoid chondritis. However, a unilateral variant has also been reported and may herald the development of bilateral pathology. The purpose of this...

Upper limp hyperhydrosis is an idiopathic disease with bilateral involvement. However, Pourfour du Petit syndrome, the opposite of Horner syndrome, may result in unilateral upper limb hyperhydrosis. It occurs following hyperactivity of the sympathetic cervical chain as a consequence of irritation secondary to trauma. We report herein two cases with Pourfour du Petit syndrome showing unilateral ...

Abstract Purpose of Review To provide the radiologist with tools to recognize findings atypical for Graves’ ophthalmopathy and differentiate between most important common alternative causes extraocular muscle enlargement on CT MR imaging. Recent We introduce five ‘red flags’ representing features that are ophthalmopathy: unilateral disease, pattern involvement, adjacent structure restricted dif...

Between 1994 and 2010, a total of 123 patients with obstructive azoospermia due to aplasia of vas deferens (CAVD) were surgically treated. In 110 patients, the condition was bilateral (CBAVD), 13 men had unilateral aplasia (CUAVD), and 10 patients additionally had aplasia of one kidney. All patients underwent CFTR genetic testing, which detected two mutations (homozygous or compound heterozygou...

Objective: This investigation intended to evaluate anterior and posterior tibial arteries at the ankle joint level in congenital clubfoot, by using color Doppler ultrasound (CDU). Material and Method: Twenty patients with idiopathic clubfoot were selected, from which 18 had unilateral involvement and two had bilateral involvement. Of the 18 patients with unilateral clubfoot, 16 went through sur...
