background: the surgical management of cholesteatoma is a controversial issue, particularly regarding intact-canal-wall mastoidectomy (icwm) versus canal-wall-down mastoidectomy (cwdm). the current experiment compared the quality of  visualization in different middle ear structures using icwm with otoendoscopy with findings of cwdm by microscopy.materials and methods: the patients diagnosed wit...

Received: 03.08.2015; Accepted: 15.10.2015 Fig. 1: CT thorax axial soft tissue window image at the level of lung apex showing multiple small osteocartilagenous nodules seen involving the anterior and lateral tracheal walls, sparing the membranous posterior tracheal wall Fig. 2: Oblique coronal reformatted soft tissue window CT image showing multiple small osteocartilagenous nodules seen involvi...

The hypophysial stalk of the horse had a typical structure of the median eminence and contained noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, vasopressin and paraldehyde fuchsine-stainable material. The posterior wall of the hypophysial stalk contained higher concentration of noradrenaline than the anterior and lateral walls. On the other hand, the anterior and lateral walls contained dopamine but the po...

INTRODUCTION Posterior dislocation of the hip joint with associated acetabular and intertrochanteric fracture is a complex injury. Early recognition, prompt and stable reduction is needed of successful outcome. CASE REPORT 45 year old male patient presented with posterior dislocation of the hip with transverse fracture with posterior wall fracture of acetabulam and intertrochanteric fracture ...

Lobular capillary hemangiomas (LCH) have been cited in the literature as a rare potential cause for recurrent hemoptysis. They are mostly associated with cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. Rarely do they affect the trachea and associated airways in adults. Lobular capillary hemangiomas can be associated with previous trauma to the airway; however, drugs, hormonal shifts, viral oncogenes, productio...

Echocardiograms were obtained on 27 adults with electrocardiographic criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to determine how echocardiograms might best identify LVH. Both the left ventricular (LV) posterior wall thickness and interventricular septal thickness were found by echocardiography to be increased (greater than or equal to 12 mm) in only 13 of 27 patients (48%) with LVH. The LV ...

Laceration of the posterior tracheal wall is one of the risks of transhiatal esophagectomy. Various methods of repairing such lacerations have been described; many of these methods involve a thoracotomy, but some do not. We describe a case of a posterior tracheal wall tear that occurred during a laryngopharyngectomy with a gastric pull-up. The tear was repaired with the transposed stomach and d...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial aneurysms originating at the posterior communicating artery are known to have high rupture risk compared with other locations. We tested the hypothesis that different angioarchitectures (ie, branch point configuration) of posterior communicating artery aneurysms are associated with aneurysm hemodynamics, which in turn predisposes aneurysms to rupture. MATER...

musculocutaneous pedicled/ free flaps are an essential prerequisite for reconstructive surgery. amongst the trunk muscles commonly harvested for flaps, the trapezius and rectus abdominis provide satisfactory coverage for cranial and trunk defects. unilateral/ bilateral or partial congenital absence of trapezius muscle is well documented and may result in muscular imbalances compromising posture...

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the results of acetabular fractures surgically treated using posterior Kocher-Langenbeck approach for internal fixation. METHODS A series of 42 consecutive cases treated during a 4 year period was analysed. The mean age of the patients was 41 years. According to the Letournel classification 9 posterior wall fractures, 3 posterior column fractures, 11 transverse fr...
