a 47-year-old man presented as a dyspnea and fatigue. a transthoracic echocardi-ography (tte) performed to assess valvar heart disease and left ventricular (lv) function showed a large hydatid cysts in the inter ventricular septum bulging to posterior of heart and compressing its overlying muscle as whitish round mass. the patient underwent elective surgery by evacuation of septal hydatid cysts...

Eruptive vellus hair cysts are disorders that present as cystic papules usually on the chest and extremities. Facial involvement is very rare in this disorder and few reports of facial eruptive vellus hair cysts have been presented till now.We present two cases of eruptive vellus hair cysts in a mother and her daughter with facial distribution.

Introduction: Average glandular dose (AGD), entrance skin air kerma (ESAK) and normalized glandular dose (DgN) are the main dosimetric quantities in mammography. In this study, DgN is evaluated in the presence of breast cyst, which is a common disease among women and the influence of size, number and location of the cysts on the DgN is investigated. Materials and Meth...

Background—Iris cysts in children are uncommon and there is relatively little information on their classification, incidence, and management. Methods—The records of all children under age 20 years who were diagnosed with iris cyst were reviewed and the types and incidence of iris cysts of childhood determined. Based on these observations recommendations were made regarding management of iris cy...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of abnormal CT findings in patients with surgically proven ruptured endometriotic cysts, as compared with those abnormal CT findings of ruptured ovarian functional cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 13 retrospectively identified patients with surgically confirmed ruptured ovarian endometriotic cysts and who had also...

Background: Information about orofacial cysts from African populations is scarce and there are only a few studies available regarding the prevalence of these lesions in the West African sub-region. The purpose of the present study is to determine the distribution and prevalence of all histologically diagnosed orofacial cysts in Kumasi, Ghana. Aim: To determine prevalence, sex, age and anatomic ...

BACKGROUND The lungs are the most common site of hydatid cysts in children. Rupture is the main complication of cysts causing morbidity and mortality. In this study we aimed to comprehensively describe the CT signs for cysts and analyze the relationship of cyst ruptures to the diameter and location of cyst. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 145 cysts from 102 patients, aged 17 years or younger, w...

METHODS We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study in the Gynecologic Endoscopy Unit of Assiut University Hospital in Assiut, Egypt in 1853 patients undergoing video-assisted laparoscopy. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) was performed to dete...

Adult neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb of rodents is provided by cells which migrate tangentially from their site of genesis into the forebrain subependymal layer (SEL). This migration involves 'chains' of neuroblasts sliding into a meshwork of astrocytic cells and processes (glial tubes). The analysis of this process in postnatal rodents and in adult rabbits reveals different types of relati...

AIM Echinococcosis is the major cause of lung and liver cysts in ruminants. This study compared usefulness of radiography and ultrasonography (USG) in the detection of lung and/or liver cysts in sick bovine animals. The study also worked out cooccurrence of lung and liver cysts, and whether these cysts were primary cause of sickness or not. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on 45...
