Case Description- Hypospadias and testicular agenesis were described in this clinical report in two German shepherd puppies presented with a history of lethargy, anorexia, dysuria, urinary incontinence, severe urine scald dermatitis and pyoderma in the abdominal area. Clinical Findings- Clinical examinations revealed incomplete development of the external...

PURPOSE In adults, sphenoid sinus agenesis is an extremely rare anomaly. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sphenoid sinus hypoplasia and agenesis using dental volumetric computed tomography (DVCT) in a population of Turkish individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS DVCT scans in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes of the sphenoid sinus of 384 patients were examined ...

microphthalmia is defined as a globe with a total axial length that is at least two standard deviations below the mean for age. it may be isolated or part of a syndrome with other associated anomalies. causes can be divided into environmental, heritable or unknown. some researchers believe that microphthalmia and anophthalmia belong to one family. unilateral and bilateral anophtalmia have been ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between unilateral or bilateral criptorchidism, patient age, primary location of the gonad and modality of treatment with testicular volume and hormonal status at 18 years in patients diagnosed and treated for cryptorchidism during childhood. MATERIALS AND METHODS Testicular volume, LH, FSH, and testosterone were evaluated in 143 young men at 18 years trea...

background: about 10% to 15% of infertile men have azoospermia, which could be obstructive or non-obstructive. diagnostic biopsy from the testis and recently testicular sperm extraction (tese) are the most precise investigations in these patients. testicular biopsy can be done unilaterally or bilaterally. the worth of unilateral or bilateral testicular biopsy in men with azoospermia is controve...

Background The aim of this study was to determine oxidative stress (OS) parameters after testicular torsion/detorsion in adult rats. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, male adult Wistar rats were divided into four groups, each consisting of seven animals: group I-one hour right testicular torsion with subsequent orchiectomy, group II-one hour right testicular torsion followed by de...

Abstract Background Zinner syndrome is a rare Wolffian duct anomaly presenting as triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst and ejaculatory obstruction. The condition due to developmental leading malformation the mesonephric duct. Magnetic resonance imaging considered be gold standard for diagnosis syndrome. Due limited number cases reported in literature, association...

Central incisor, congenital absence, hypodontia, tooth agenesis. Abstract Hypodontia is the congenital absence of less than six teeth because of agenesis. The absence of teeth may be unilateral or bilateral. There are reports showing unilateral occurrence of permanent mandibular incisors. But agenesis of bilateral mandibular central incisors is not well documented in the literature and comprehe...

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the gene defect causing congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors also causes narrowing of the dentition. A total of 81 patients with one or two congenitally missing lateral incisors were retrieved; 52 (64.2 per cent) patients presented bilateral agenesis, whereas 29 (35.8 per cent) had unilateral agenesis. The control group consisted ...

OBJECTIVE To gain more insight into the prevalence of dental agenesis. METHODS Data from Caucasian populations in North America, Australia and Europe were included in a meta-analysis. For the prevalence of African American, Chinese and Arab groups only indications could be reported because of a limited number of studies. RESULTS Agenesis differs by continent and gender: the prevalence for b...
