Introduction: The deformity of the sella turcica is often a major clue that an abnormality exists within the cranium, hence a familiarity with the sella turcica anatomy and radiological appearance is important. The aim of this study was to assess the dimension of sella turcica of normal Nepalese people by using computed tomography scan of head and to correlate the dimension with the patient’s age and gender. Methods: This prospective study was performed in a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu. Data were collected over the period of 4 months from June to September 2018 with the total of 73 patients who underwent CT of head. The age and gender of the patients were noted. The dimensions of sella turcica were measured at the predefined three directions: length, depth and antero-posterior diameter of the sella turcica. Results: The sella turcica had a mean length of 8.375mm, AP diameter of 7.029mm, and depth of 10.13mm.The dimensions of the sella turcica increased with age till the age of 80 years and then decreased. Conclusions: This study concluded that the length, AP diameter and depth of the sella turcica vary with respect to age group. The length and depth of sella turcica were higher in males while AP diameter in females.

Objective: To investigate the implication of a computed tomography scan for headache with non-localizing sign.Materials and methods: One hundred and thirty six patients with headache having non-localizing signs were included in this prospective study. Patients with age > 11 years, incomplete radiological or clinical data, recent/new onset headache, any immunosuppressive state, neurological deficits at the time of presentation, history of fever, trauma, any previous surgical intervention and any malignancy were excluded from the study.Results: Among the 136 patients, 73% were females and 27% were males with age range of 11- 76 years. Negative computed tomography scan was present in 91 (66.9 %) cases. Positive findings that significantly influenced the management were present in only 6 (4.4%) cases. Conclusion: Computed tomography in headache with non-localizing signs has a poor yield for a significant intracranial pathology. A careful and detailed assessment curtails the need for inadvertent imaging thus reducing the economic burden and health related hazards.Journal of Nepalgunj Medical College Vol.13(1) 2015: 2-4

Objective: The aim of study was to study the chemical composition of renal stone in Sudanese population using computed tomography scan. Method: This is analytic study conducted in Khartoum state hospitals in the period from November 2018 to October 2019.The problem of the study was no similar study done in Sudanese populations. The study was done in 100 patients. The data was collected from computed tomography scan to the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. Classified and analyzed by   statistical package for the social sciences application (SPSS). Results: The study found that most chemical composition of renal stone among Sudanese population was uric acid (0%), Cystine (26%) then Struvite (14%) and calcium (60%). The most effective age group with renal stone was (61-70) years old (36.7%) and same age group have a Struvite stone (28.3%). Furthermore, the most common age group with a cyctine renal stone were the cystine affect in the age between 50 years to 60 years old. The uric acid, Cystine, and calcium stone composition may be reliably predicted in vivo on the basis of dual-energy Computed tomography findings. In the future, a single dual-energy computed tomography examination may contribute to not only the identification but also the chemical characterization of stones in the urinary tract and it may add to the information available from non-enhanced conventional CT performed for evaluation of nephrolithiasis.
