Background/aim: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common congenital viral infection. Although most children with congenital CMV (approximately 85%–90%) are asymptomatic at birth, findings such as sensorineural hearing loss, microcephaly, and neurodevelopmental retardation can be observed during the follow-up. Among the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of CMV are white matter abnormalities, polymicrogyria, and periventricular calcification. Since a definitive diagnosis of congenital CMV cannot be made after the neonatal period, the identification of the associated phenotype is diagnostically important, but data are limited in patients who have been retrospectively diagnosed with congenital CMV infection. The aim of this study was …

Background/aim: Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is a risk factor for dementia, and thus, it is of interest to enlighten specific brain atrophy patterns in aMCI patients. We aim to define the longitudinal atrophy pattern in subcortical structures and its effect on cognition in patients with aMCI.Materials and methods: Twenty patients with aMCI and 20 demographically matched healthy controls with baseline and longitudinal structural magnetic resonance imaging scans and neuropsychological assessments were studied. The algorithm FIRST (FMRIB’s integrated registration and segmentation tool) was used to obtain volumes of subcortical structures (thalamus, putamen, caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, globus pallidus, hippocampus, and …

Background/aim: Total kidney volume (TKV) is a parameter used in both treatment decision and follow-up in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate intra- and interobserver agreement of the ellipsoid formula (EF) and manual boundary tracing method (MBTM) used in TKV measurement of ADPKD patients across different levels of experience radiologists. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the EF and MBTM, which is considered the gold standard for TKV. Materials and methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 55 ADPKD patients who underwent …
