    Redundant ventriculomegaly associated with brain abscess
    (Elsevier Doyma Sl, 2002) Keskil, S.; Ayberk, G.; Seçkin, Z.; Kizartici, T.; Kilic, C.
    Although brain abscess had a high mortality rate, improvements in radiologic imaging facilities, bacteriological techniques and antibiotics have resulted in a mortality of about 5%(16.11,31). Our aim was to emphasize the recently observed increase in the incidence of ventriculomegaly associated with brain abscess among the patients operated on in our hospital during five years. The causes and management of this well-known complication of brain abscesses was also discussed.

    Spontaneous resolution of "protruded" lumbar discs
    (Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2004) Keskil, S.; Ayberk, G.; Evliyaoglu, C; Kizartici, T.; Yucel, E.; Anbarci, H..
    Decreasing size of disc material that has herniated, whether "contained" or "protruded" has previously been described and sometimes this can be so complete that residual material is barely visible. In a retrospective clinical survey, from among almost 2180 consecutive patients admitted during 1994-2002 with low back pain; due to our low follow-up ratios and high price of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), only 42 patients with a lumbar disc protrusion could be found who had two MRI scans obtained at least five weeks apart. Among these, 4 patients were spotted with a totally resolved disc protrusion. T-2-weighted MRI images were suggesting shrinkage due to dehydration and regression within the annulus of protruded disc fragments that had not fully migrated. Our patients are further examples for total resolution of the large "protruded" disc without any treatment; and since concomitant disc protrusions at other levels persisted, the resolution of these discs is supposed to be spontaneous.
