This syndrome, identified by Albright et al. (1), it is now referred to as MAS. Fibrous dysplasia may be monostotic (affecting a single bone) or polyostotic (affecting many bones) and is usually asymmetrical and often unilateral. The rib, femur, tibia, and maxilla are most commonly involved. Craniofacial involvement occurs in all of the severe polyostotic forms, but only in about 30 per cent of the monostotic forms (2). The aetiology of fibrous dysplasia is not clear, and several theories exist, including those of hormonal imbalance (1) and a mutant gene (G protein alfa subunit) whose protein product affects bone (3).

The most common site of origin in the pediatric age group is within the atria of the lateral ventricle, whereas in adults the primary site is within the fourth ventricle (2, 3). These tumors are histologically benign. Malignant changes are rare and occur almost exclusively in children (4). A 6-month-old boy presented with 1–month history of increased head size, vomiting, irritability, lethargy. At physical examination, his head circumference measured 47,6 cm (greater than the 97th percentil). His anterior fontanelle was bulging. The eyes were the sunset type. No focal nuerologic deficit was demonstrated. Marked enlargement of the lateral, third and fourth ventricles and a lobulated, echogenic solid mass in the atrium of the left lateral ventricle was present on ultrasound (US) examination (Figure 1). Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated lobulated mass within the right l...

The brain is involved in only 2% of all cases of hydatid disease. In our department; four pediatrie patients were treated for giant hydatid cysts in supratentorial localisation. The biggest cyst was measured 12 cm, while the smallest one was 7 cm in diameter. The diagnosis was based on computerized tomography findings in all cases. The delivery of the cysts by Dowling's technique resulted in the dramatic neurological recovery of all patients.

We describe the imaging findings of this rare disease in five patients. The study group consisted of 4 men and 1 woman. The final diagnosis was made according to laboratory findings in all cases. We detected lung involvement in 3 cases, paranasal sinus involvement in 4 cases and vascular involvement in 1 case. Soft tissues were involved in 5 cases. Bone involvement was demonstrated in 3 patients. The most frequent radiologic finding was widespread infectious involvement of soft tissues, bones and neighboring structures such as bursae and tendons and respiratory system.

The onset of the condition often occurs in the second decade of life and it is more common in males than in females. One of the most feared organ involvements associated with BS is neurological involvement, which often affects the brain stem, although hemispheric involvement may be primary in a limited number of patients. Parenchymal neurological involvement in BS affects the prognosis unfavorably, as it may result in severe sequelae or mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent sequelae. Herein, we report the first case of neuro-Behçet's disease presenting with limbic encephalitis who received early stage immunotherapy.

Patients were treated with serial percutaneous tapping, drainage into a closed external drainage system, observation, craniotomy and removal of membranes or subdural -peritoneal shunt. If the initial treatment was not effective, subdural to peritoneal shunt treatment was instituted. In those patients, the subdural fluid collection 60 % bilateral and 40 % unilateral. All of patients with bilateral or unilateral collections were treated unilateral shunts. One patient was treated with craniotomy and removal of tight membranes. This study demonstrates that the most efficacious treatment of symptomatic subdural collection in children is inserted an unilateral subdural - peritoneal shunt

This report aimed to review our clinical experience of 20 years and 7 cases of breast tuberculosis. Materials and methods: The records of 7 patients with breast tuberculosis were reviewed retrospectively. Results: The surgical procedure applied for breast tuberculosis comprised 1.3% of all surgical procedures of breast surgery. The mean age of the breast tuberculosis patients was 36 years, and all of the patients were female. The mean symptom duration was 12.8 months. The most common symptoms were painful breast mass in all the patients, 2 (28.6%) of whom had 8 cm or larger masses and sinus formation was observed in 5 (71.4%) patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological evaluation in all the patients. Five patients (71.4%) were treated with total excision of the breast mass, as well as the excision of sinus tracts, while abscess drainage with biopsy was applied in 2 patients (28.6%). All the patients were treated with triple or quadruple antituberculous drug regimens. Conclusion: Tuberculosis is a rare disease of the breast, and the breasts are a rare location for tuberculosis. The clinical presentation of breast tuberculosis patients in eastern Anatolia is different from the clinical presentation of such patients reported in the literature because their mean symptom duration is 1 year or over, all have a breast mass, which may be in very large sizes, and they present a sinus formation rate of 71.4%.

Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy showed a linear markedly increased accumulation of radioactivity in both femoral arteries. ...

Acrania was demonstrated in all cases. Three fetuses had only acrania and no oilier associated anomally. In two cases anencephaly and polyhydroamnios were associated anomalies. There was polyhydroamnios in three cases. The earliest demonstrated fetal age was 13 week according to lemur length and lasl menstrual period. Five cases were diagnosed at second, two were at third trimester. The last diagnose was made by pathologists after delivery.

Ultrasound with its best contrast resolution and easy aplicability and magnetic resonance imaging with its multiplanar imaging capability and highest contrast resolution promise us to evaluate the lesion, its extent and relationship with adjacent tissue exactly.
