BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The incidence of wall enhancement of cerebral aneurysms on vessel wall MR imaging has been described as higher in ruptured intracranial aneurysms than in unruptured intracranial aneurysms, but the difference in the degree of enhancement between ruptured and unruptured aneurysms is unknown. We compared the degree of enhancement between ruptured and unruptured intracranial ...

Luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) syndrome is a recurrent anovulatory dysfunction that affects up to 23% of women with normal menstrual cycles and up to 73% with endometriosis. Mechanisms underlying the development of LUF syndrome in mares were studied to provide a potential model for human anovulation. The effect of extended increase in circulating LH achieved by administration of recombina...

evaluation of enlarged follicles with unerupted teeth is always important because some changes may occur. one of the extremely rare conditions seen in dental follicles is multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicle. we report a case of multiple calcifying hyperplastic dental follicle. radiographs showed that mandibular third molars had a pericoronal radiolucent zone delineated by a well-de...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the NIS, we evaluated outcomes of patients treated for unruptured aneurysms in the United States from 2001 to 2007. Hospitalizations for clipping or coiling of unruptured cerebral aneurysms were identified by cross-matching ICD codes for diagnosis of unruptured aneurysm with procedure codes for clipping or coiling of cerebral aneurysms. Mortality and morbidity, meas...

Background and Purpose—The natural history and optimal management of incidentally found small unruptured aneurysms 5 mm in size remain unclear. A prospective study was conducted to determine the optimal management for incidentally found small unruptured aneurysms. Methods—From September 2000 to January, 2004, 540 aneurysms (446 patients) were registered. Four hundred forty-eight unruptured aneu...

Objective: This study was designed to identify hemodynamic features of aneurysms prior to rupture in comparison with unruptured aneurysms. Materials and Methods: A retrospective data of four large unruptured aneurysms (pre-ruptured group) with sufficient films just pre-rupture was used. Matched with the same location and similar sizes, another four unruptured aneurysms (unruptured group) were i...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The management of aneurysms is controversial because little is known about the impact of clipping on long-term outcome. This study was designed to evaluate long-term survival of patients with aneurysms undergoing clipping in a statewide population. METHODS We used a retrospective design using an administrative database to identify patients hospitalized with aneurysms (1...
