BACKGROUND Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for evaluation and diagnosis of spinal cord abnormalities, which are considered among the leading causes of neurogenic bladder; however, MRI is a costly imaging method and is not available at all health centers. Sporadic studies have shown the alignment of MRI with ultrasonography results in diagnosis of spinal abnormali...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most important pediatric health problems, which is occasionally associated with irreversible renal damage. Dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scan is a diagnostic standard for the renal scar. Doppler ultrasonography (D.S) has been considered as a less invasive method. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity ...

A 55-year-old woman, diagnosed with a renal mass by abdominal ultrasonography (USG) in an external medical centre, presented to our hospital. The medical history was unremarkable except for diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The haemogram and urine tests were normal. The only pathology revealed in routine biochemistry tests was increased glucose level (164 mg/dL). The repeat USG performed in...

PURPOSE To report a case of a complete regression of choroidal metastasis secondary to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Retrospective case review of a female patient treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and oral erlotinib combination therapy for choroidal metastases secondary to NSCLC. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fluorescein angiography (FA), optical coherence tomography ...

We report a case of an eight year old female child with a midline neck mass for seven years. Since its early presentation, this midline mass has recently increased in size. A presumptive diagnosis of thyroglossal duct cyst was made clinically and planned for surgery. Preoperative evaluation revealed hypothyroidism, hence she was referred to us for the management of the same prior to excision. O...

A 60-year-old male patient presenting with gradual painless progressive diminution of vision was diagnosed with nuclear sclerosis grade III (LOCS). Intra-operatively, there was a nuclear drop into the vitreous cavity. The patient was left aphakic and was deferred for further vitreoretinal procedure the next day. On first post-op day, the nucleus fragment (of roughly the same size that had dropp...

Introduction: Antenatal ultrasound has been reported to be an effective tool for detecting neural tube defects including spina bifida. Moreover, major structural abnormalities can detected by examination, depending on the time of scan. Objectives: To determine diagnostic accuracy in detection bifida first and second trimester using post-natal MRI as gold standard. Study Design: Descriptive, Cro...

Background: Gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. Chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. The purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant EOX regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: patients with locoregionally adv...

We report a case of cervical lymph node sarcoidosis misdiagnosed as parathyroid adenoma. This is the second case described in the literature in which lymph node sarcoidosis was misdiagnosed as parathyroid adenoma on Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) scan, the first case localized in the neck. A 64-year-old woman presented with a hypercalcemia. Neck ultrasonography revealed a paratracheal hypoechoic mass ...
