Publication Open Access MRI and MR Spectroscopy Features of Heat Stroke: A Case Report(2018-07-01) Yilmaz, TEMEL FATİH; Aralasmak, AYŞE; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; GULER, Serhat; Tüzün, Umit; Alkan, ALPAY; YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; ALKAN, ALPAYHeat stroke is the outcome of over heat stress that results in multiorgan dysfunction with a tendency for central nervous system damage. Brain is very sensitive to hyperthermia, especially the cerebellum that has selective vulnerability to heat stroke. There is complex interaction between heat cytotoxicity, coagulation disorder, cytotoxine - mediated systemic inflammatory response causing multiorgan failure, metabolic derangement, and circulatory insufficiency. We reviewed the literature and discussed brain MRI and MR spectroscopy findings of heat stroke, detailed the pathophysiology underlying brain involvement and proposed excitotoxic injury as an alternative mechanism of brain damage in heat stroke.Publication Open Access Craniocervical Dissections: Radiologic Findings, Pitfalls, Mimicking Diseases: A Pictorial Review(2018-01-01) MEHDI, Elnur; Aralasmak, AYŞE; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; Yildiz, Seyma; Kurtcan, SERPİL; Kolukisa, MEHMET; Asil, TALİP; Alkan, ALPAY; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA; KURTCAN, SERPİL; KOLUKISA, MEHMET; ASİL, TALIP; ALKAN, ALPAYBackground: Craniocervical Dissections (CCD) are a crucial emergency state causing 20% of strokes in patients under the age of 45. Although DSA (digital substraction angiography) is regarded as the gold standard, noninvasive methods of CT, CTA and MRI, MRA are widely used for diagnosis. Aim: Our aim is to illustrate noninvasive imaging findings in CCD. Conclusion: Emphasizing on diagnostic pitfalls, limitations and mimicking diseases.
