Assessment of Normal Intracranial Parameters of the Sellar Region in Healthy Subjects of South Indian Population: A Retrospective Study [PDF]
Introduction: There is a significant degree of anatomical variation at the level of the sphenoid sinus and sella turcica and a wide range of these values have been reported in literature and ethnic variation has also been found to contribute to ...

Deep Learning-Based Detection of Malformed Optic Chiasms From MRI Images
Convolutional neural network (CNN) models are of great promise to aid the segmentation and analysis of brain structures. Here, we tested whether CNN trained to segment normal optic chiasms from the T1w magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image can be also ...

Low-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in 18 Dogs With Presumed Optic Neuritis
Canine optic neuritis has been attributed to a focal or disseminated form of granulomatous meningoencephalitis (GME) amongst other etiologies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proven to help differentiate the structures within the optic nerve ...

Visual disturbances before and after transnasal endoscopic surgery for craniopharyngiomas
Background: Craniopharyngiomas (CP) are benign epithelial tumors of the chiasmal and sellar region and/or the third ventricle region which arise from embryonic remnants of Rathke’s pouch.

Traumatic chiasmopathy following mild trauma in a patient with thyroid orbitopathy
Purpose: Traumatic injury to the optic chiasm is rare and most frequently caused by high-velocity head trauma. It classically results in bitemporal hemianopsia and often presents in conjunction with multiple other traumatic injuries, such as skull ...

Biomechanics of human optic chiasmal compression: ex vivo experiment and finite element modelling
The mechanism of bitemporal hemianopia arising as a result of chiasmal compression is unknown. In this study, we combined an ex vivo experiment and finite element modelling (FEM) to investigate its potential mechanism.

Proton Beam Therapy in the Treatment of Periorbital Malignancies [PDF]
Purpose: Periorbital tumor location presents a significant challenge with 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy due to high tumor dose needed in the setting of close proximity to orbital structures with lower ...
