Öğe Extremely delayed renal cell carcinoma metastasis mimicking convexity meningioma (2)(Sociedad Espanola de Neurocirugia, 2008) Bademci G.; Bozdogan O.; Berdan F.; Evliyaoglu C.Cerebral extra-axial metastasis mimicking meningioma which satisfy several criteria for a diagnosis of meningioma, but which have proved instead to be metastatic carcinoma and extremely delayed cerebral metastasis from renal cell carcinoma form the focus of the presentation. 68-year-old-woman who had been operated for renal cell carcinoma 20 years previously is presented with new symptoms of intracranial mass. A large extra-axial mass of the convexity which destroyed calvarium and dura was excised with Simpson Grade I removal, revealed metastatic carcinoma. Imaging characteristics can not always discern between meningioma and metastatic tumours. A meticulous clinical evaluation and histopathological diagnosis is essential in patients with intracranial mass even they resemble both primary and metastatic tumours.Öğe Faun Tail: Diagnosis of Occult Spinal Dysraphism with a Rare Cutaneous Marker [4](Japanese Dermatological Association, 2004) Birol A.; Bademci G.[No abstract available]Öğe Long-term MRI findings of a case with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (nesidioblastosis)(2006) Aliefendioglu D.; Bademci G.; Kara S.Background and purpose: To describe the sequential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a neurologically handicapped newborn who had been suffered from neonatal hypoglycemia due to persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (nesidioblastosis) and to evaluate the following changes in the long-term radiological follow-up. Case: A case of newborn with severe hypoglycemia due to nesidioblastosis is reported. The patient was presented with poor feeding, irritability, and seizures. Nesidioblastosis was diagnosed on the basis of high intravenous glucose requirement, high insulin to glucose ratio, negative urinary ketones. Normoglycemia was maintained by a combined treatment including glucose infusions and steroid, and then somatostatin analoques. The patient was assessed neurologically and radiologically by sequential cerebral MRI within 2 years follow-up. Results: The most striking findings were cystic lesions on corona radiata, parietooccipital deep white matter and diffuse subcortical involvement of the brain at the initial MRI. The lesions were recovered radiologically at the 5 months of age. Diffuse hyperintensity of the periventricular white matter and optic radiation suggests abnormal and delayed myelination at 1 year of age, and periventricular leukomalacia and ventricular irregularity at 2 years of age. More delayed neurologic sequelae included mental retardation and spasticity. Conclusion: Neonatal hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia must be suddenly and appropriately diagnosed and treated to prevent any further neurological dysfunction and damage. MRI studies are crucial in nesidioblastosis to define the characteristics and severity of cerebral lesions after hypoglycemia. Long-term radiologic follow-up should be further investigated to predict the neurologic outcome, although the radiologic recovery period was seen in acute or subacute phase of the disease. © 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Cervical spinal cord was evaluated for the presence of abnormal signal intensity on T1 and T2 weighted images. MR spectroscopy was performed at the level of spinal cord compression seen on conventional MR images. Clinical and/or electrophysiological studies were also obtained to confirm the presence of a suspected spinal cord compression for these areas. MR spectroscopy was also performed at a normal site of spinal cord without any clinical and/or electrophysiological finding of compression and without any sign of compression on conventional MR images. MR spectroscopy findings of suspected areas were compared with the normal areas for each patient. Twenty levels of cervical spinal cord with both clinical and/or electrophysiological and conventional MR signs of compression were evaluated with MR spectroscopy. MR spectroscopy was also performed at the normal areas of the cervical spinal cord selected adjacent to the level of compression as vascularity and metabolism of cervical spinal cord significantly change between different levels. All patients except one had a decrease in N-acetylaspartate level at the suspected areas compared to the normal areas without any sign or suspicion of compression. Creatine levels were increased in 14 suspected area but decreased in six. Choline levels were decreased in 12 and increased in eight levels. Lactate levels were increased at eight levels and decreased in 12 levels. MR spectroscopy of the spinal cord can yield results supporting both clinical and electrophysiological evaluation. MR spectroscopy of the spinal cord at the level of compression observed on conventional MR images can support neuronal loss and disruption of axonal integrity.Öğe Postoperative spinal ultrasonography findings in spinal dysraphia(2005) Kendi T.; Bademci G.Diastematomyelia is a form of spinal dysraphism involving sagittal clefting of the spinal cord, conus medullaris, and/or filum terminale into two hemicords. It can be an isolated finding or can be associated with meningomyelocele or meningocele. In this report, we present postoperative spinal ultrasonography findings in a patient with diastematomyelia and a tethered cord. © Turkish Society of Radiology 2005.
