Abstract
We should keep in mind that high MET uptake is frequently observed in nontumorous brain lesions. Although differentiation from tumorous lesions is usually possible by laboratory and morphological examinations, nontumorous lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis when encountering pat...

Abstract
Pinguecula was seen more frequently in patients with TO than in both control groups. Lid retraction was the only clinical factor determined with significant impact on the prevalence of pinguecula in patients with TO. Impaired tear function did not influence pinguecula prevalence in patients with TO,...

Abstract
One of the orbital complications during endoscopic sinus surgery is retrobulbar hematoma. Retrobulbar hematoma can be classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and iatrogenic. Iatrogenic hematoma, which can be caused by endoscopic sinus surgery, is more likely to have an arterial source, so these hemato...

We report 7 cases of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a retrospective study of 8 years (2000-2008) in haematological patients. An early diagnosis is essential, and therefore there must be a high level of clinical suspicion in patients with predisposing factors. Certainty diagnosis requires fungal cultu...

Periorbital NF behaves differently from NF of other areas. CT-guided surgical debridement of the superficial muscle maximizes preservation of healthy tissue and facilitates reconstruction. Delayed reconstruction allows fibrosis to settle and good cosmetic and functional results are possible. However...
