Case Report
Pages: 165-169
We report the case of a 37-year-old female patient harboring a right tentorial meningioma with bicompartmental growth who deteriorated while awaiting elective surgery. Both radiological and operative findings demonstrated intra tumoral and intracerebellar hemorrhage. The tumor was removed totally in...
Epidermoid cysts are benign and congenital lesions. They commonly occur in the cranial cavity especially at the base of the brain and in the spinal canal. Intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the calvarium is very rare. We report an intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the temporal bone.
A case is presented in which the peritoneal end of a catheter extruded spontaneously through the rectum.
A 14 year old patient admitted to the neurosurgical clinic as subarachnoid haelorrhage (SAH) is discussed. After diognostic procedures which included the cerebral digital substraction angiography (DSA) and myelography, it was seen that the cause of the SAN was a mass lesion at thoracal (Th) 12level....

A case of supratentorial suboccipital subdural haematoma (SSSH) is presented and discussed. This form of subdural haemotoma is very rare and only a few cases have been reported previously in the literature. This is an acute case of SSSH without any signs of neuropathology. On computerized tomography...

In a reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion model in rats, the possible efficacy of deferoxamine on radical level and infarct size was investigated.
Deferoxamine was injected intravenously immediately after the occlusion at a doses of 100 mg/kg. It significantly lowered lipid peroxidation in t...
Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) and Interleukin-2 (IL-2) values were determined in 44 intracranial tumour patients pre-and postoperatively and compared with the values in 20 healthy persons and 14 with Behçet's disease, who were used as the control group.
There was no significant difference in IL-2 va...

The distal internal carotid artery (DICA), middle cerebral artery (MCA) and Azygous anterior cerebral artery (AzACA) were isolated via the transorbital approach in anaesthetized rabbits. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured using radiolabelled microspheres before, during and 15 minutes after one h...
In this study, a rat model of reversible focal cerebral ischaemia is standardized and the involvement of oxygen radicals in focal cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion injury is investigated.
Ischaemia at the frontoparietal cortex and lateral segment of the caudate putamen was achieved in all animals...
During period of 4 months, (November 1991-February 1992) lumbar magnetic resonance (MR) examinations were performed on 418 patients, 220 were found to have lumbar disc herniation, 19 (8.63 %) of which were diagnosed as having lateral disc herniation; 17 disc herniation extending into the neural fora...
During the first three months of 1992, 80 patients were examined with magnetic resonance (MR) for various intracranial pathologies other than. We investigated prospectively the possibility of visualization of the cranial nerves with routine MR studies of the head, and the most appopriate routine MR ...

The effects of 10 global cerebral ischaemia on cortical arteriolar responses to Acetylcholine (ACh) application was examined in anaesthetized cats by closed cranial window technique. The physiological response of the pial arterioles to topical ACh (10-7 M) was endothelium- dependent vasodilation. Fo...
Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT brain imaging was performed interictally in thirty three patients with partial seizures. Identification of areas of low perfusion was by visual inspection in all patients and additionally in 16 patients quantitative values were obtained. SPECT results were compared with the EEG an...
Pages: 139-143
In this study 33 patients with Herniated Lumbar Disc (HLD) were investigated. Dermatomal Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SEP) values were compared with needle Electromyography (EMG), myelography and operative findings. According to the operative findings the patients were divided into two groups: 1)...

End-to-end anastomosis in the A. Carotis communis of rats (average diameter 0.8-1.0mm) was achieved using Nd-YAG laser. Morphological and histological findings of laser anastomosis and suture anastomosis specimens were compared by the LAMA technique. The rats were examined 1 day, 1 month and 2 month...
