Paratubal cysts can become extremely big before causing symptoms. Torsion is another urgent issue regarding PTCs, necessiating urgent surgery for preservation of the ovary and the tube. Although malignancy is rare, borderline paratubal tumors have been reported in the literature.

Congenital hypoplasia of the posterior arch of the atlas (C1), a developmental failure of chondrogenesis, is a rare anomaly and may range from partial clefts to total agenesis of the posterior arch. Ossification of the posterior arch usually occurs between the 3rd and 5th years of life. The incidence of posterior arch anomalies of the atlas is between 0.69% and 2.95%. For the evaluation of the patient, cervical lateral plain radiography, 2D or 3D reconstructed CT and MRI are very useful and important tools in initial diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice in symptomatic compression. Excision of the posterior arch is performed. during surgery. After the surgery, patients may be followed up for instability and treated as necessary. A patient, admitted to the emergency department with head and neck trauma after a traffic accident is presented in this article. C1 hypoplasia was determined after detailed imagining studies and the radiology department consulted. When upper cervical anomalies are found in a young patient, the patient should be evaluated in detail with advanced radiological studies to avoid misinterpretation as fractures, luxation, osteolysis or instability. Consulting a radiologist could help making an accurate diagnosis and deciding on current therapeutic interventions.KeywOrds: Atlas, Hypoplasia, Posterior, Arch, Congenital, Anomaly ÖZKondrogenezdeki doğumsal bozukluk sonucu oluşan atlasın arka yayının gelişimsel eksikliği nadir bir anomalidir ve kısmi yarık oluşumundan atlasın arka yayının tam yokluğuna kadar gidebilir. Arka yayın kemikleşmesi 3-5 yaşlar arasında olur. Atlasın arka yayı anomalilerinin insidansı %0.69-2.95 arasındadır. Hastayı değerlendirmek için servikal lateral direkt grafi, 2 ve 3 boyutlu rekonstrüksiyonlu bilgisayarlı tomografi ve magnetik rezonans inceleme çok yararlı ve önemli tanı araçlarıdır. Semptomatik bası varlığında cerrahi bir tedavi seçeneğidir. Cerrahide arka yayın eksizyonu uygulanmaktadır. Cerrahi sonrasında hastalar instabilite için takip edilmeli ve gerektiğinde tedavi edilmelidir. Bu makalede, trafik kazası sonrası acil servise baş ve boyun travması ile gelen bir hasta sunulmaktadır. Detaylı radyolojik çalışmalar sonrası, atlas hipoplazisi saptanmış ve sonrasında hasta radyoloji bölümüne konsülte edilmiştir. Genç hastada üst servikal anomaliler saptandığında; kırık, luksasyon, osteoliz ve instabilite hasta ayrıntılı yanlış yorumlardan kaçınmak için hasta radyolojik incelemelerle ayrıntılı değerlendirilmelidir. Radyoloji uzmanına yapılan konsultasyon kesin tanıya ve doğru tedavi edici girişimlerin yapılması için karar verilmesine yardım olmaktadır.

DTI provides important information about cortical tubers, white-matter abnormalities, and perilesional white matter in patients with TS.

We report a patient with intramedullary ruptured spinal dermoid tumour. The MR imaging revealed an intra-medullary lumbar mass heterogenous in intensity in all sequences. Fat droplets were observed in the subarachnoid space as well as in the dilated central spinal canal. Fat droplets in the subarachnoid space are frequently seen in the rupture of intraspinal dermoid tumours; however, fat droplets within the central canal is quite rare and was unexpected. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful tool in the determination of spinal pathologies before they become large enough to cause severe symptoms and/or morbidity.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the nasal bone and bony nasal pyramid in adult Anatolian people. Method: A total of 80 patients (48 males, 32 females, mean age of 40.03 years) were all evaluated using CT. Upper, intermediate and inferior thickness of the nasal bone on each side and on the lateral and medial osteotomy line were measured. In addition, nasal bone length and pyriform aperture width were determined. Conclusion:The dimensions of the nasal pyramid are known to be important in the selection of appropriate osteotome. Our results can be used for pre-operative evaluation of Anatolian people undergoing nasal surgery.

Even though standard 1.5 tesla MRI, routinely used in clinical practice, has a very high success rate in demonstrating the ACL, it can visualize the two-bundle structure only in about one-third of the patients.
