background: alveolar echinococcosis (ae) is a chronic, rare and sometimes lethal parasitic infection in humans, caused by the larval stage of the fox tapeworm echinococcus multilocularis. this study aimed to investigate the clinical aspects and treatment outcomes of patients with alveolar hydatid disease. methods: the medical records of patients with alveolar echinococcosis admitted between 199...

introduction alveolar echinococcosis (ae) is a chronic, serious and sometimes lethal parasitic infection, which is caused by echinococcus multilocularis (em). ae has been reported to occur in people from the north of iran; however, until now there have been no cases of ae reportedfrom the southern provinces, such as khuzestan. conclusions there were three female patients, 21, 47 and 53 year-old...

We present a case of cerebral infestation by Echinococcosis multilocularis mimicking an infiltrative primary brain tumor. A heavily calcified mass invading the midbrain enhanced in a cauliflower-like fashion with small peripheral nodules present on MR imaging. Perfusion-weighted MR imaging revealed low relative cerebral blood volume within the calcified lesion and peripheral hyperemia. Single-v...

conclusions hepatic alveolar hydatid cyst should be considered one of the important differential diagnoses of liver masses, especially in endemic areas of the world. results there were 24 published cases of liver-involved alveolar hydatid cyst from iran. the disease was more common in young- to middle-aged women in northeast iran. the most common presenting signs and symptoms were abdominal pai...

background: hydatosis is one of the most and common parasitic disease and fasciola hepatica and gigantica has been considered as the most common of infection in herbivorous hepatobiliary system. the parasites not only cause to damage in animal husbandry industry but also can cause one of the parasitic diseases, which are common between human and livestock. this research was a cross-sectional st...

abstract alvelolar hydatid disease is caused by e. multilocularis. human infection occurs at the larval stage of this small tape worm (1.2 to 4.5 mm). in this article we studied alveolar hydatid disease in a 50 year old woman who presented with a hepatic mass. liver biopsy and histopathologic evaluation showed alvelolar hydatidosis of the liver. then resection of the left lobe of liver was done...

pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, (pap) is a rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by accumulation of intra-alveolar proteinaceous material which is rich in lipid and positive on periodic acid-schiff stain. two clinically different pediatric types have been defined as congenital pap which is fulminant and fatal, and a late-onset pap which is similar to the adult form and less severe. ei...

most often in the posterior of the mandible of patients who need implants, the inferior alveolar nerve (ian) is too high to insert the implants, and the surgeons have to reposition ian. in conventional techniques (to make the windows in the buccal aspect of the mandible) removal of the corticocancellous bone may cause weakness of the mandible. here we present a new technique in which the bone i...

Introduction: Knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   Materials and Methods: Thirty five Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)...
