Background/aim: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mostly manifests with fever, shortness of breath, and cough, has also been found to cause some neurological symptoms, such as anosmia and ageusia. The aim of the study was to present the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of patients with anosmia-hyposmia symptoms and to discuss potential mechanisms in light of these findings. Materials and methods: Of the 2412 patients diagnosed with COVID-19-related pneumonia (RT-PCR at least once + clinically confirmed) between March and December 2020, 15 patients underwent olfactory MRI to investigate the cause of ongoing anosmia/ hyposmia symptoms were included in the study. …

Background/aim: Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) are known as rare tumors, but they are the most common tumor in fetuses and newborns. This study aims to present fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of SCT diagnosed prenatally and compare them with that of the prenatal Ultrasound (US) findings. Materials and methods: Eleven patients diagnosed as SCT prenatally by US and further assessed by MRI are included. MRI was performed via a 1.5-T magnet with a body coil. The presence, size, content extension, and compressive effects of each mass were determined and correlated with US findings and with postnatal examinations, including surgery and …

Background/aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (IPSS) in lateralization and to investigate variables associated with accurate IPSS lateralization prediction. Materials and methods: Initially, data from 55 patients who underwent IPSS in our institution were reviewed retrospectively. IPSS lateralization and pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of these patients were compared with postoperative follow-up and immunohistochemical data to calculate the positive predictive values (PPVs) for IPSS and MRI. Variables likely to be associated with the accurate prediction of IPSS lateralization were analyzed. Results: Twenty-seven patients (85.2% female, mean age of …

Background/aim: To investigate morphological features of the mandibular condyle and its association with anterior temporomandibular disc displacement on sagittal oblique MRI plane. Materials and methods: One hundred and twenty patients with temporomandibular MRI examination were retrospectively involved in the study. Patients aged less than 18 years and those with severe osteoarthritis, posterior disk displacement, tumor, abscess, history of a rheumatic disease, facial trauma, and motion artifacts on images were excluded. Three radiologists evaluated all images in consensus. Temporomandibular disc locations were classified as normal, anteriorly displaced with reduction (ADr), and anteriorly displaced without reduction (ADwr) on sagittal oblique T1-weighted images. …

Background/aim: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can in vivo characterize tumor microvascular environment. The aim of the present study was to reveal the DCE-MRI findings and to determine the correlation between these findings and immunohistochemical data in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Materials and methods: Thirty-three patients diagnosed with primary HNSCC were evaluated retrospectively. DCE-MRI was conducted in all cases. CD34, CD105, and ki-67 expressions were analyzed with immunohistochemistry in tissue sections to determine micro-vessel density and proliferative activity. Results: The DCE-MRI is a successful technique in distinguishing tumor tissue from normal tissue. It was determined …
