STUDY DESIGN Retrospective diagnostic study. PURPOSE To define a new radiological sign, "Baltalimani sign," in severe angular kyphosis (SAK) and to report its relationship with the risk of neurological deficits and deformity severity. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Baltalimani sign was previously undefined in the literature. METHODS We propose Baltalimani sign as the axial orientation of the vert...

The aim of our study was to compare the rapid neurological improvement after intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) in patients with proximal hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (p-HMCAS) to those without the sign and those with the distal hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (d-HMCAS). Admission and 24 hour non-contrast CT scans of 120 patients with middle cerebr...

AIM To investigate the correlation of congenital lumbosacral abnormalities with neurological signs in young patients with low back pain (LBP) MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 401 patients with LBP that lasted longer than 2 weeks. All cases were screened by standard lumbosacral x-rays for the presence of the most common congenital vertebral abnormalities i.e. spina bifida occulta (SBO) a...

Hereditary spastic paraplegias are highly heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders with some special mutations.

Neurological examination showed that he had proximal lower limbs weakness with a positive Gower sign, exaggerated lower limbs deep tendon reflexes with spasticity, distal muscle wa...

We present the case of an 80-year-old female with acute right fronto-parietal stroke and an interesting neurological sign on clinical examination; the arm levitation sign. We discuss the imaging correlates of this sign and hypothesize on the possible functional etiology of the sign. We also discuss in brief, the possibility of neuronal misconnections causing the sign and the resultant problems ...
