Congenital Agenesis of Right Internal Carotid Artery: A Report of Two Cases

Congenital unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare anomaly. Due to proper sufficient collateral circulation via the circle of Willis most cases are asymptomatic, but patients can also present with ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular insults. The absence of the bony carotid canal is essential to differentiate this anomaly from chronic ICA occlusion. Awareness of this situation by clinicians and radiologists is essential because these patients have an increased incidence of various intracranial pathologies. We report two cases of this rare developmental congenital abnormality occurring in two young patients and describe the presentation, diagnosis, determined developmental causes, imaging findings, and complications

Talar Osteochondral Defects

Intra-articular ankle injuries to the talar body is one of the common cause of athletic disability that have been estimated to occur in approximately 6.5% of the ankle sprains and commonly affect the dome of the talus. Patients are commonly referred to the clinics with an acute injury to the ankle or with chronic ankle instability. This article describes the clinical presentation and imaging to diagnose of talar osteochondral defects. The treatment options are also reviewed to give consensus on optimal treatment of this condition. [Med-Science 2015; 4(3.000): 2664-77

The Amputation Endicated Extremity Can Be Recovered by Multidisciplinary Treatment: A Case Report and Review of Literature [Multidisipliner Yaklasimla Amputasyon Endikasyonu Olan Ekstremite Kurtarilabilir: Olgu Sunumu ve Literatur Derlemesi]

With the development of microsurgical techniques and successfull multidisciplinary approach; many injuries that requires amputation can be treated successfully by extremity preventing surgery. We present a case that admitted to our clinic with open fracture and although had amputation endication, treated with extremity reconstruction surgery. [Med-Science 2015; 4(2.000): 2281-8

Incidentally Detected Myocardial Cleft: Cardiac Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings

Myocardial clefts are congenital anomalies, usually localized in the basal inferior wall of the left ventricle and mid-apical segments of the interventricular septum. The patients with genetic mutations related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy showed significant elevation in the incidence of myocardial cleft. Also there is a significant correlation between the myocardial clefts and the carriers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy gene mutations without clinical signs . Magnetic resonance imaging allows us to diagnose the myocardial clefts of the healthy individuals as well as the patients and closely follow up for clinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Here we present the cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a case with myocardial cleft. [Med-Science 2016; 5(1.000): 280-3

A Sudden Vision Loss Requiring Urgent Radiological Evaluation: Radiation-Induced Optic Neuropathy

An early radiological diagnosis of the Radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) and immediate appropriate treatment is crucial in recovery of vision loss. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the technique of choice because of its ability to detect some small lesions of the visual pathway before vision loss. Here is the report of a 63-year-old male with nasopharynx cancer whose early diagnosis of RION was made by contrast enhanced MRI. The man was treated with radiotherapy approximately three years ago and had sudden vision loss of right eye. [Med-Science 2016; 5(2.000): 666-9
