    MRI findings in thoracic outlet syndrome
    (2012-11-01) Aralasmak, AYŞE; ÇEVİKOL, CAN; KARAALİ, KAMİL; Senol, Utku; Sharifov, RASUL; KILICARSLAN, Rukiye; Alkan, ALPAY; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; SHARIFOV, RASUL; ALKAN, ALPAY
    We discuss MRI findings in patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). A total of 100 neurovascular bundles were evaluated in the interscalene triangle (IS), costoclavicular (CC), and retropectoralis minor (RPM) spaces. To exclude neurogenic abnormality, MRIs of the cervical spine and brachial plexus (BPL) were obtained in neutral. To exclude compression on neurovascular bundles, sagittal T1W images were obtained vertical to the longitudinal axis of BPL from spinal cord to the medial part of the humerus, in abduction and neutral. To exclude vascular TOS, MR angiography (MRA) and venography (MRV) of the subclavian artery (SA) and vein (SV) in abduction were obtained. If there is compression on the vessels, MRA and MRV of the subclavian vessels were repeated in neutral. Seventy-one neurovascular bundles were found to be abnormal: 16 arterial-venous-neurogenic, 20 neurogenic, 1 arterial, 15 venous, 8 arterial-venous, 3 arterial-neurogenic, and 8 venous-neurogenic TOS. Overall, neurogenic TOS was noted in 69%, venous TOS in 66%, and arterial TOS in 39%. The neurovascular bundle was most commonly compressed in the CC, mostly secondary to position, and very rarely compressed in the RPM. The cause of TOS was congenital bone variations in 36%, congenital fibromuscular anomalies in 11%, and position in 53%. In 5%, there was unilateral brachial plexitis in addition to compression of the neurovascular bundle. Severe cervical spondylosis was noted in 14%, contributing to TOS symptoms. For evaluation of patients with TOS, visualization of the brachial plexus and cervical spine and dynamic evaluation of neurovascular bundles in the cervicothoracobrachial region are mandatory.

    CT Angiography Evaluation of Unusual Transorbital Penetrating Injury: A Toothbrush
    (2013-04-01) ATAY, Musa; Alkan, ALPAY; HANIMOGLU, Hakan; Sharifov, RASUL; KILICARSLAN, Rukiye; Aralasmak, AYŞE; ALKAN, ALPAY; SHARIFOV, RASUL; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE
    Orbital penetrating injuries may cause significant harm to optic nerves and eyeball as well as to the brain and cerebral vasculature. Defining surrounding neurovascular structures by CT angiography (CTA) is important for surgical removal. We present an uncommon case of a 3-year-old child with a penetrating orbital injury caused by a toothbrush. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report orbital injury with a toothbrush so far.

    AIM: To compare effectiveness of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA), 3D-Time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) and subtracted computed tomography angiography from computed tomography perfusion (sub-CTA) in residue evaluation of intracranial aneurysms treated either with coiling or clipping.

    CSF otorhinorrhea in a child with inner ear dysplasia: diagnosis with T2-weighted and intrathecal contrast-enhanced MR cisternography
    (2014-07-01) MEHDİ, Elnur; Alkan, ALPAY; YETIS, Huseyin; Aralasmak, AYŞE; Ozdemir, HÜSEYİN; ALKAN, ALPAY; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; ÖZDEMİR, HÜSEYIN
    During the follow-up of recurrent pneumonia in a 9-month-old girl, rhinorrhea with discharge of a positional and intermittent nature was discovered. Radiological assessment was requested to detect any skull base openings and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. T2-weighted MR cisternography showed bilateral inner ear dysplasia, communication of the internal auditory canal with the vestibule, and effusion in the right middle ear. Intrathecal contrast-enhanced MR cisternography revealed a CSF fistula from the right internal auditory canal to the Eustachian tube. The patient was operated upon on the right side, and the presence of a CSF leak near the oval window was confirmed. No adverse effects were seen during the short-term and long-term follow-up. Diagnosing this case required special attention, careful examination, and relevant investigations to find the site of CSF leakage in this patient with bilateral inner ear dysplasia.

    MRI and MRS findings in fucosidosis; a rare lysosomal storage disease
    (2016-04-01) EDIZ, Suna Sahin; Aralasmak, AYŞE; YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; Yesil, GÖZDE; Alkan, ALPAY; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; YEŞİL, GÖZDE; ALKAN, ALPAY
    Fucosidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the enzyme L-fucosidase in all tissues. We presented magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and MR spectroscopy [MRS] findings of a 4-year-old boy with genetically proven fucosidosis. He had a history and clinical findings of recurrent sinopulmonary infections, hypertonicity on lower extremities, gingival hypertrophy, bilateral ptosis, angiokeratoma corporis diffusum, and dysostosis multiplex. He had no organomegaly and urine glycosaminoglycan analysis were normal. MRI revealed abnormalities within the globus pallidus and periventricular and subcortical white matter. MRS showed a peak at the 3.8-3.9 ppm as a result of accumulating carbohydrate containing macromolecules and another peak at 1.2 which was doublet and inverted on TE 135, suggesting fructose peak. A final diagnosis of fucosidosis was proved by mutational analysis of FUCA1 gene which is responsible for the Fucosidosis phenotype. Two recent reports of MRS of two patients demonstrated that MRS is specific for fucosidosis. In this case, we aim to discuss fucosidosis with MRI and MRS findings accompanied by the literature.
