Head and Neck Anomalies

Morphologically congenital sensorineural hearing loss can be investigated under two categories. The majority of congenital hearing loss causes (80%) are membranous malformations. Here, the pathology involves inner ear hair cells. There is no gross bony abnormality and, therefore, in these cases high-resolution compute…

Cervical ultrasound scanning (US) is considered a key examination, by all major thyroid and endocrine specialist societies for the postoperative follow-up of thyroid cancer patients to assess the risk of recurrence. Neck US imaging is readily available, non-invasive, relatively easy to perform, cost-effective, and can…

OBJECTIVE: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities with insulin resistance (IR) as a major component. It has been recently questioned whether MetS and its related components are associated with functional and morphological alterations of the thyroid gland. The aim of our study is to examine t…

BACKGROUND: The prognostic significance and optimal care of children with differentiated thyroid cancer and pulmonary metastases are not well established. METHODS: Of 209 patients younger than 25 years of age who were treated at University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center between 1960 and 1990 and for whom there…

OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous treatment of hydatid cysts is relatively new, and the data related to it are limited. The purpose of this study was to provide additional data to strengthen the proof of its effectiveness. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: One hundred sixty-eight hepatic cysts in 111 patients were treated using a percutane…

BACKGROUND: The risk of thyroid carcinoma in patients with thyroid nodules associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a debatable issue. The studies defining the true risk of thyroid malignancy are scanty and mainly depend on retrospective series. To eliminate inherent bias of retrospective studies, this prospect…

CONTEXT: Lower TSH screening cutoffs have doubled the ascertainment of congenital hypothyroidism (CH), particularly cases with a eutopically located gland-in-situ (GIS). Although mutations in known dyshormonogenesis genes or TSHR underlie some cases of CH with GIS, systematic screening of these eight genes has not pre…

OBJECTIVE: In this clinical retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate giant hydatid lung cyst cases as a different clinical entity that recorded in last 10 years in our clinic. METHODS: Between February 1990 and May 2000, a total of 305 hydatid lung cyst cases from patients that had been operated were reviewed, and 67…
