The Effects of Extraction and Nonextraction Treatment on RME Applied Patients

Aim:The aim of this study was to compare the dentoalveolar, skeletal and soft tissue effects of upper two premolar extraction or nonextraction treatments after Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME).Subjects and Methods:The sample of this study consisted of pre and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 21 patients characterized by narrow maxilla and treated with or without extraction following RME. In our study, RME applied patients were divided into two groups as extraction and nonextraction. After adequate expansion and retention period, two upper first premolars were extracted in extraction group and no teeth were extracted in nonextraction group. Thereafter, fixed orthodontic treatment was started in two groups.Results:At the end of treatment when extraction and nonex-traction groups were compared, significant differences in A1 inclination to A-Po angle (p < 0.01), A1 to A-Po plane (p < 0.05) and B1 to A-Po plane distance (p < 0.05) representing the dentoalveolar incisor position were detected. Also statistically no significant differences were found between parameters related to lips or soft tissues. Our results do not support the idea that more retrusive profile occurs as a result of upper extraction treatment.Conclusions:In the light of these results, it is possible to say that there is no esthetic difference between the RME appliances applied patients treated by either upper premolar extraction or nonextraction treatment

The case of Dermoid cyst causing Hydrocephalus

İntrakranial dermoid kistler nadir görülen, selim, yavaş büyüyen ektodermal hücrelerin inklüzyonlarından köken alan lezyonlardır. Genellikle asemptomatiktirler; semptomatik olduklarında rüptüre olurlar. Bu durumda kafaiçi basınç artışına, hidrosefaliye, aseptik menenjite ve epilepsiye yol açabilirler. Uzun zamandır olan ancak son 2 aydır sabahları daha belirgin olmak üzere günün her saatinde de devam eden sıkıştırıcı tarzda, bulantı-kusmanın ve otonom bulgularının eşlik etmediği, aura ve foto-fonofobinin olmadığı atipik baş ağrısı tarif eden 17 yaşında bayan hasta Nöroloji polikliniğine başvurdu. Yapılan nörolojik muayenede fundusta venöz dolgunluk dışında patoloji saptanmadı. Atipik baş ağrısı olan hastaya sekonder baş ağrısı nedeniyle beyin bilgisayarlı tomografisi çekildi ve dermoid kiste bağlı hidrosefali bulguları saptandı. Nadir olarak görülen ve görüldüğünde rüptürle sonuçlanan atipik baş ağrısıyla presente 17 yaşındaki bayan hastayı sunmayı değer bulduk

Sleep disorders accompanying migraine and tension headaches

Objective: This study aimed to investigate sleep disorders in patients with episodic migraines and tension-type headaches. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted between June 15, 2019, and December 15, 2019, at the neurology clinics of two different tertiary hospitals. The study included 100 healthy volunteers, 102 patients with episodic migraine, and 105 patients with episodic tension-type headache. All participants were assessed using Beck Depression inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety inventory (BM), Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS), Berlin Questionnaire, Insomnia Severity index (ISI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index (PSQI). The presence and severity of Restless Legs syndrome (RLS) were evaluated according to the International RLS Study Group criteria. Results: Patients with migraine and tension headaches had significantly higher BDI, BAI, ESS, ISI, and total PSQI scores compared with the control group. According to the Berlin Questionnaire, 8% of the healthy controls, 20.6% of patients with migraine, and 11.4% of patients with tension headache were at high risk for Sleep Apnea syndrome. RLS criteria were met by 3% of healthy controls, 9.8% of patients with migraine, and 6.7% of patients with tension headache. Subjective sleep quality, sleep disturbance, and daytime dysfunction scores were significantly higher in patients with migraine compared with those with tension headache. By contrast, sleep latency and sleep efficiency scores were significantly higher in patients with tension headache compared with those with migraine. Conclusion: The study results indicated that migraines and tension-type headaches have varying effects on sleep. Hence, for each of the headache types, sleep disorders should be examined under a broad spectrum, and each sleep disorder should be investigated separately

Evaluation of Cognitive Functions in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome(OSAS) in terms of various cognitive functions and determine the relationship betweencognitive functions with anxiety and depression levels.Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between June 15, 2019 andDecember 15, 2019 and included 34 OSAS patients and 28 healthy volunteers between theages of 18-65 with at least primary education. All participants underwent overnight recordingof polysomnography. Patients were evaluated using sociodemographic data form, BeckDepression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) and the Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT).Results: There was no significant difference between the OSAS and control group in terms ofage and gender. OSAS patients had significantly higher depression and anxiety scorescompared to the control group. OSAS patients showed poor performance in naming, attention,abstract thinking, and delayed recalling compared to the control group. OSAS patientscompleted Stroop tests 1, 3, and 5 in a longer amount of time than the control group. Cognitivefunctions were found to have a significant negative correlation with apnea hypopnea index,BDI, and BAI scores.Conclusion: OSAS was found to have a different effect on each subcomponents of cognitivefunction. Furthermore, it was determined that many negative factors caused by OSAS mayplay a role in cognitive involvement in OSAS. Further studies are warranted to shed light onthe ethiopathogenesis of this subject

Ischemic Bilateral Opercular Syndrome

Opercular syndrome, also known as Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome, is a paralysis of the facial, pharyngeal, masticatory, tongue, laryngeal, and brachial muscles. It is a rare cortical form of pseudobulbar palsies caused by vascular insults to bilateral operculum. Its clinical presentations include anarthria, weakness of voluntary muscles involving face, tongue, pharynx, larynx, and masticatory muscles. However, autonomic reflexes and emotional activities of these structures are preserved. In the present case, an 81-year-old male presented with acute onset of anarthria with difficulties in chewing, speaking, and swallowing that was diagnosed with opercular syndrome

Obstructive Sleep Apne Syndrome and Neurology

Obstrüktif Uyku Apne Sendromu (OUAS) nörolojik hastalar arasında sık görülen ciddi bir durumdur. OUAS’ın etyolojisinde, ayırıcı tanısında ve sonuçlarında nörolojik hastalıklar bulunmaktadır. OUAS’ın nörolojik hastalıklarla birlikteliği daima dikkat çekmiştir. OUAS birçok nörolojik semptomu içinde barındıran bir sendromdur. OUAS tanınmaz ve tedavi edilmezse, birçok nörolojik hastalığa sebep olabilir , potansiyel olarak birbirlerini daha da kötüleştirebilirler ve sonuçta ölüme yol açabilir. Bu derlemede, nörolojik hastalıklarla OUAS ilişkisi ele alınmıştır.Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a common condition in neurological patients. Neurological diseases are present in the etiology, differential diagnosis and outcomes of OSAS. The association of OSAS with neurological diseases has always attracted attention. OSAS is a syndrome that contains many neurological symptoms. If OSAS is unrecognized and untreated, it can lead to many neurological diseases, potentially worsening each other and ultimately leading to death. In this review, the relation between OSAS and neurological diseases has been mentioned
