The impact of post-COVID syndrome across a multitude of health domains: a comparative analysis in previously hospitalized non-hospitalized COVID-19 survivors.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of post-COVID syndrome across a multitude of health domains among COVID-19 survivors via comparative analysis in previously hospitalized vs. non-hospitalized patients. A total of 158 adult COVID survivors who had symptoms that continued during post-COVID recovery were included in this prospective observational study.

Differentiation of multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor based on MRI.

Background/aim: To compare the MRI findings and clinical features of multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor (MVNT) and dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET), and reveal the distinguishing features of these tumors from each other.

Materials And Methods: Patients with a suspected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based diagnosis of MVNT between 2018 and 2022 were collected from the hospital database. In addition, patients diagnosed with DNET on histopathological examination and who had MRIs in the same time period were included in the study.

Evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging features of spontaneous third ventriculostomy in triventricular hydrocephalus.

BackgroundSpontaneous third ventriculostomy (STV) is considered rare in obstructive hydrocephalus cases.PurposeTo investigate the efficacy of phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) and three-dimensional constructive interference in steady-state (3D-CISS) for the diagnosis of STV and the potential changes of various radiological parameters measured in hydrocephalus in cases with STV.Material and MethodsPatients with triventricular hydrocephalus who underwent at least one MRI examination, including PC-MRI and 3D-CISS, between 2010 and 2021 were included.

Cerebral blood flow differences in cognitive disengagement syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: Doppler ultrasonography findings.

Objective: The present study aims to investigate potential differences in cerebral blood flow between children with Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) and those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using Doppler ultrasound.

Methods: In this single-center prospective study, we included 24 cases in the ADHD group with CDS symptoms, 29 cases in the ADHD group without CDS symptoms and, 26 children in the healthy controls. The children ranged in age from 6 to 15.

Visual assessment of cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics using 3D T2-weighted SPACE sequence-based classification system.

Background: Flow-related signal void artifacts can be visualized on the T2-weighted (T2W) three-dimensional sampling perfection with application-optimized contrast (3D-SPACE) sequence. Flow void artifacts in the cerebral aqueduct and the fourth ventricle can provide information about cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to test the performance of the T2W 3D-SPACE sequence in assessing the CSF flow in the aqueduct and/or fourth ventricle.

Clinical Features, Treatment Outcome and Potential risk Factors for Recurrence Among Patients with Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis in a Resource-limited Setting: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) and to determine risk factors for disease recurrence.

Methods: A total of 43 patients with CPA (mean ± SD age: 61.4 ± 10.

Comparison of MRI findings of hypothalamic-optic chiasmatic gliomas and craniopharyngiomas.

Background: Differential diagnosis of hypothalamic-optic chiasmatic gliomas (HOCGs) and craniopharyngiomas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be quite challenging.

Purpose: To compare the MRI features of HOCGs and cranipharyngiomas.

Material And Methods: Patients diagnosed with HOCG or craniopharyngioma in histopathological evaluation between 2012 and 2022 and who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced brain MRI were included.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Radial Artery Intima Media Thickness and Complications at the Intervention Site After Radial Angiography.

The present study investigated the relationship between pre-procedural radial intima-media thickness (rIMT) and radial artery thrombosis (RAO) in patients undergoing angiography using a transradial approach (TRA). Patients (n = 90) who underwent cerebral or peripheral arterial angiography using TRA were included in the study. Ultrasonographic evaluation was performed before and 12 h after the procedure.

Case report: Spinal drop metastasis of IDH-mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendroglioma.

Background: Symptomatic spinal metastases of oligodendroglioma are rare. Moreover, none of the previously published cases demonstrated the typical IDH mutation and 1p/19q-codeletion for this glial tumor. This case presents an IDH mutant, 1p/19q-codeleted oligodendroglioma with multiple spinal drop metastases.

Efficacy of Dural Sinus Quantitative Measurements in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension : A Practical Diagnostic Feature.

Background And Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the potential contribution of quantitative measurements of dural venous sinuses to the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and the relationship between IIH and dural venous sinus dimensions on 3D post-gadolinium T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images.

Material And Methods: A total of 129 individuals (57 IIH patients and 72 controls) who complained of headache and underwent both magnetic resonance venography (MRV) and precontrast/postcontrast 3D T1-weighted MR imaging between 2018 and 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Dural venous sinus and jugular vein diameters were measured in all cases using post-gadolinium 3D T1 TFE images.

Spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection in a child diagnosed by high resolution vessel wall MRI.

Craniocervical dissection is one of the most common causes of stroke in children. Although the most common cause of dissection is trauma, spontaneous dissections in which no cause can be revealed may also occur. The diagnosis of this type of dissection in children can be challenging with the preferred non-invasive imaging methods (MRA, CTA).

The diagnostic contribution of intracranial vessel wall imaging in the differentiation of primary angiitis of the central nervous system from other intracranial vasculopathies.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the diagnostic effect of VWI in differentiating PACNS from other vasculopathies and its role in post-treatment follow-up in PACNS patients in this study.

Methods: In this prospective study, we included patients with clinical suspicion of PACNS who presented with new-onset ischemic events and had significant intracranial large vessel stenosis on DSA or MRA. VWI was performed on all patients.
