We describe a case of the "tilted-disk" syndrome in a patient with a bitemporal field depression (a pseudohemianopia). CT and MR imaging showed thinning and prolapse of the nasal sectors of the posterior walls of the globes and flattening of the temporal portion of the globes.

PURPOSE To determine the lateralizing value of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) recorded during overnight sleep-EEG studies in temporal lobe epilepsy. Because IEDs are more prevalent in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep than in wakefulness, overnight sleep-EEG recordings may contribute additional lateralizing information to the epilepsy surgery evaluation beyond daytime EEGs. METHO...

introduction the nasolabial flap (nlf) has many advantages in oromaxillary reconstruction, but the majority of cases are reconstructions after pathologic resections. its usage in trauma surgery, especially in the management of gunshot wounds, is rarely mentioned. case presentation three cases involving gunshot injuries to the face are presented: one for reconstruction of the nasal ala, another ...

smoking has been shown to be a complicating factor in normal wound healing. both nicotine and carbon monoxide adversely affect multiple stages of the healing process. from 1991 to 1999,407 muscle flap procedures were performed on 374 patients in a single surgical unit. a retrospective review of 261 patients was completed. patients were divided into three groups: group a, no smoking history grou...

Introduction: Reconstruction of intraoral soft tissue defects is important in restoring function and esthetic. In large defects, there will be demand for regional pedicle flaps or free flaps. Hard palate separates nasal and oral cavities. Due to the small surface area between flap and remaining palate after surgical resections, optimal blood supply of the flaps for hard palate reconstructions ...

despite all modern surgical techniques, skin flap that is considered as the main method in most reconstructive surgeries puts the skin tissue at danger of necrosis and apoptosis derived from ischemia. therefore, finding a treatment for decreasing the apoptosis derived from flap ischemia will be useful in clinic. in present study, we evaluated the effect of azelaic acid 20% and finasteride on ex...
