Most adult primary brain tumors are gliomas. These tumors are progressive, tend to recur after treatment, and are usually fatal. Some studies on the behavior of astrocytomas with similar histological features have looked at over expression of p53 and c-erbB-2 and the immunoreactivity associated with...

Twenty-four adult Wistar rats weighting 220-290 g were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg sodium thiopental and a tracheostomy was performed. Following diffuse impact-acceleration brain injury (BI), animals were paralyzed and mechanically ventilated with %30 O2 in N2O. The ra...
Enthusiastic reports about percutaneous intradiscal laser nucleotomy have been encouraging to neurosurgeons treating patients with intervertebral disc herniation. Since high energy is transmitted to deep tissue and the procedure is not able to be visualized unless done endoscopically, we designed th...
The extreme lateral transcondylar approach (ELA) is used to access lesions that are located or extend superior to the middle elivus, inferior to the upper cervical spine, and lateral to the foramina jugulare. Different combinations of drilling of several bone structures, including the occipital cond...
Included in this study were 56 children with primary extracranial Neuroblastomas (NB) (n=44) and Ganglioneuroblastomas (GNB) (n=12) who were admitted and treated at two institutions between January 1982 and March 1997. Thirteen of the 56 patients had epidural spinal canal invasion and spinal cord co...
Fractures of the basis cranii are usually the result of extension of a vault fracture. The most important complications associated with these fractures are cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula, related infection, and pneumocephalus with fistula. CSF fistula involves the leakage of fluid from the subara...
This study presents the results of epiarachnoidal posterior fossa decompression for 20 adults who had symptomatic Chiari I malformation with syringomyelia, and discusses the efficacy of this technique.

The characteristics of neurogenic thorasic outlet syndrome due to compressions at the interscalene triangle were evaluated in 17 patients. Sixteen of the patients were female, and the mean age of the group was 34,6 years. Eight cases had only osseous anomalies (Group I). Another six had no bony vari...
Case Report
Reported is a unique case of Chiari I malformation with syringomyelia and medullar hemorrhage, which became symptomatic 4 days after a craniocervical trauma when the patient was doing neck exercises. The patient manifested respiratory arrest, tetraparesis, and persistent lower cranial nerve dysfunct...
Penetrating stab wounds of the skull rarely occur in civilians. In the absence of direct injury to the brainstem or laceration of a major intracranial vessel, the prognosis for these injuries is good. Transorbital stab wounds causing intracranial complications are more common in children than in adu...
Intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcomas, and especially those that originate from the dura mater, are very rare. This paper describes two cases of primary intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma that originated from the right frontal dura mater and the left tentorium. The patients were both females...
We present a case of hypothalamo-pituitary abscess of unknown origin. The diagnosis of abscess was made during surgery. The difficulties in diagnosing and managing this entity are stressed.
