“…It has been suggested that EHS is a rare clinical event (Ganguly et al, 2013), but others believe it to be under-reported (Pearce, 1989). It is thought to have a typical age of onset of over 50 years (Cohen and Kaube, 2004) and to be more common in females (Chakravarty, 2007;Rosen, 2004). However, no large-scale prevalence studies have been conducted, and most published articles report only very small numbers or individual case studies.…”

SUMMARYExploding head syndrome is characterized by the perception of loud noises during sleep-wake or wake-sleep transitions. Although episodes by themselves are relatively harmless, it is a frightening phenomenon that may result in clinical consequences. At present there are little systematic data on exploding head syndrome, and prevalence rates are unknown. It has been hypothesized to be rare and to occur primarily in older (i.e. 50+ years) individuals, females, and those suffering from isolated sleep paralysis. In order to test these hypotheses, 211 undergraduate students were assessed for both exploding head syndrome and isolated sleep paralysis using semi-structured diagnostic interviews: 18.00% of the sample experienced lifetime exploding head syndrome, this reduced to 16.60% for recurrent cases. Though not more common in females, it was found in 36.89% of those diagnosed with isolated sleep paralysis. Exploding head syndrome episodes were accompanied by clinically significant levels of fear, and a minority (2.80%) experienced it to such a degree that it was associated with clinically significant distress and/or impairment. Contrary to some earlier theorizing, exploding head syndrome was found to be a relatively common experience in younger individuals. Given the potential clinical impacts, it is recommended that it be assessed more regularly in research and clinical settings.

“…PSH is generally thought to be a primary headache syndrome, onset at young age, predominantly in women, commonly associated with migraine or cluster headache and responsive to indomethacin (13–15). A recent population‐based study has shown that PSH is common in the general population (7, 11).…”

Primary stabbing headache (PSH) is a short-lasting but troublesome headache disorder which has been known for several decades. We surveyed and registered consecutive patients with PSH in a headache clinic in Taiwan. A total of 80 patients (24 M/56 F, 53.2 +/- 16.2 years) were enrolled in our study. Migraine was reported in 20 (25%) patients and was less common in those with PSH onset at >50 years than those with onset at <50 years (14% vs. 38%, P = 0.02). The headache was unilateral in 59% of the patients and always in a fixed area in 36%. The head pain frequently involved extratrigeminal regions (70%) and in 30 patients (38%) was accompanied by jolts, i.e. head or body movements. Indomethacin was effective (74%) in patients who received it. Our study showed primary stabbing headache was a common and easily treated headache disorder in headache clinic. However, 70% of our patients could not fulfil criterion A 'exclusively or predominantly in the distribution of the first division of the trigeminal nerve' and 15% could not fulfil criterion C 'no accompanying symptoms' of the International Classification of Headache Disorders-II criteria proposed for PSH.

Öz Düz kas hücrelerinden kaynaklanan, genelde endometrium ve gastrointestinal traktta saptanan leiyomiyosarkom, nadir görülen yumuşak doku tümörlerindendir. Burun ve paranazal kavitenin en sık görülen malignite tipi olan karsinomlara nazaran sarkomların insidansı bir hayli düşüktür ve bu bölgenin sarkomları arasında leiyomiyosarkoma az rastlanmaktadır. Bu tümörlerde genelde tercih edilen tedavi cerrahi rezeksiyondur. Bu yazıda nadir bir yerleşim yeri olarak alt konka posteriorundan kaynaklanmış ve endoskopik transnazal cerrahi rezeksiyon ile tedavi edilmiş bir nazal kavite leiyomiyosarkomu olgusu, literatür bilgileri eşliğinde sunulmaktır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Nazal kavite, leiyomiyosarkom. Abstract Leimyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor originating from smooth muscle cells and it is usually diagnosed in the endometrium and gastrointestinal tract. Compared with carcinomas which are the most common malignancies of the nose and the paranasal cavity, the incidence of sarcomas is quite low and leiomyosarcomas are rarely found among these sarcomas. Surgical excision is the usually preferred treatment choice for these tumors. In this paper, a case with nasal cavity leimyosarcoma originating from a rare location as the posterior part of lower concha and treated with endoscopic transnasal surgical excision is presented with the relevant literature. Giriş Tüm yumuşak doku sarkomlarının yaklaşık 7%sini leiyomisarkomlar (LMS), uterus ve gastrointestinal trakt gibi düz kas dokusundan zengin organlardan, nadiren ekstremiteler ve baş-boyun bölgesi gibi diğer vücut bölgelerinden kaynaklanmaktadırlar. Baş-boyun bölgesi LMS'larının, kan damarlarının tunika mediasından, sirkumvallat papillalardan, tükrük bezi miyoepitelyal hücrelerinden ya da pluripotent mezenkimal hücrelerden kaynaklandıkları düşünülmektedir (1). Bu tümör tipinin, sinonazal bölgedeki tümörler içindeki insidansı 1.5%-2.1% ile bir hayli düşüktür. LMS tedavisindeki en etkili yöntemin cerrahi olduğu konusunda genel bir kanı bulunmaktadır, tedavi başarısındaki en önemli unsur ise tümörün boyutudur (2). Eskiden LMS tedavisindeki rolleri palyatif olan radyoterapi (RT) ve kemoterapinin (KT) ise yeni tedavi rejimlerinin tanımlanması ile cerrahi sonrası uygulanmaları giderek artmaktadır (3). Bu yazıda burun kanaması ve burun tıkanıklığı şikayetleri ile başvuran, muayenesinde saptanan nazal kitlenin LMS olarak belirlenmesi üzerine cerrahi rezeksiyon ve sonrasında RT ile tedavi edilen, 3 yılı aşkın izleminde nüks saptanmayan 57 yaşındaki kadın hasta sunulmaktadır. Olgu Sunumu 57 yaşında kadın hasta, bir yıldır ara ara olan burun kanaması ve giderek artan tek taraflı burun tıkanıklığı şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Yapılan fizik muayenesinde endoskopik bakı ile görülebilen sol nazal kavite posteriorunda koanaya geçişi tama yakın engelleyen ağrısız kitle saptandı. Diğer kulak burun boğaz muayeneleri normaldi. Koranal ve aksiyel planlarda elde edilen paranazal bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) tetkikinde sol nazal kavite posteriorunda bu bölgeyi ve koana sol yarısını tama yakın oblitere...
