Background Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive spinal cord damage that has resulted in significant clinical morbidity. The clinical evaluation of signs and symptoms, as well as neuroimaging and several neurophysiological tests, are used to make the diagnosis. Objectives To investigate changes i...

Traumatic brains injury (TBI) it an acquired defect which inhibits brain functions resulting in a complete or partial brain cell dysfunction. One of most commons cause of traumatic brain injuries is car accidents recognized to be one of the more significant severe factors for the increase of mortality and morbidity and the second most common cause...

Background: Cervical spinal stenosis is well-defined as debility in the volume of the spinal canal. Consequently, distracting in the descending neural pathways at any level in the cervical spine lead to impaired smooth and effective breathing under normal conditions .
Article
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of cranial falling bullet injuries and raise awareness about them. We studied the clinical and radiological findings, and their relation to the treatment and outcome. There are limited studies in this field. Materials and methods: Thirty patients, (aged 8–55 years) with cranial falli...

Background: Cervical spinal stenosis is well-defined as debility in the volume of the spinal canal. Consequently, distracting in the descending neural pathways at any level in the cervical spine lead to impaired smooth and effective breathing under normal conditions . Objective: To assess the effect of cervical spinal stenosis (C5and above) on pulm...

Metastatic brain tumors are common in Iraq, but the incidence is still less than reported in the developed countries. It is more common in males. The ages of most of the patients lie between 40-59 years. The duration of the symptoms is less than one month in 48 % of the cases.. The interval between the diagnosis of the primary tumor and the brain m...

The Thresholding algorithm which has been applied on MR images was able to detect abnormal areas (tumor) . It's important for detectors to determine the area of the tumor . The wavelet transformation is applied to MR images to remove the noise and it helps to detect the tumor. But the wavelet alone does not reach the best result so the k-mean clust...

Brain metastases are neoplasms that originate in tissues outside the brain and spread secondarily to involve the brain [1] This may result either from direct local extension of the primary growth, or from blood born metastases [2]. The intracranial compartment is a common site of metastatic cancer. Between 20 and 40% of patients with systemic cance...
Book
A prospective study was conducted at the neurosurgical hospital for the period from October 2006 to October 2007 for 50 patients with posterior fossa tumors to describe the main histopathological types of pediatric posterior fossa tumors, and illustrate age incidence, gender, the main presenting signs and symptoms, their surgical treatment and thei...
Article
Purpose: The existing literature on the use of dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials in lumbosacral spinal canal stenosis is limited. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of dermatomal against mixed tibial somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) as a complementary procedure to imaging studies in the diagnosis of lumbosacral stenosis....

Book
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an extremely common and potentially devastating problem. CT remains essential for detecting lesions that require immediate neurosurgical intervention as well as those that require in-hospital observation and medical management.In this prospective study, a total of 100 patients with TBI were evaluated clinically with...

Background: Low back pain is a common cause of pain and there are many causes. Finding the exact cause of the pain can help guide treatment and management. Objective: To evaluate the clinical presentation, diagnosis and surgical outcome of the treated patients with lumbar-disc prolapse. Patients and Methods: Patients selection done using neuroimagi...
Book
Retrospective study in surgical management of parasagittal meningiomas start from May 2003 to May 2005, involved (12) patients in the neurosurgical department of AL-KADHYMIA HOSPITAL and THE NEUROSURGICAL HOSPITAL. Our aims were to determine the age and sex incidence, the predominant presenting complaint, the surgical management, surgical out come...

The detection of brain strokes from Computed Tomography CT images needs convenient processing techniques starting from image enhancement to qualify the brain image by isolation process, region growing and logical operators (OR and AND). These methods with the help of the simplest segmentation process, which is the thresholding process, are used to...

The detection of the brain strokes from Computed Tomography CT images needs convenient processing technique starting from image enhancement to qualify the brain image by isolation process, region growing and logical operators (OR and AND). Morphological techniques (opening and close) with the logical operator produce a good result. These results wi...

Automatic segmentation of brain tumor using computer analysis aided diagnosis in clinical practice but it is still a challenging task, especially when there are lesions needing to be outlined. In the applications of image-based diagnosis and computer-aided lesion detection, image segmentation is an important procedure. Features extracted from image...
