TI  - Morphometric Examinations of Internal Carotid Arteries of Patients with 
      Hypertension and Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Radio Anatomic Study 
      Based on Computed Tomography Angiography Findings.

AB  - AIM: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the 
      morphological features of A.carotis interna (ICA) and symptoms affecting cerebral 
      blood circulation including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension 
      (HT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, retrospective morphometric analysis of 
      ICA measurements from 100 patients (45-60 years old) was performed on Computed 
      Tomographic Angiography (CTA) images. The images were divided into four groups: 
      patients with HT (group 1), patients with T2DM (group 2), patients with HT and 
      T2DM (group 3), and healthy control group (group 4). Length and diameter 
      measurements of the cervical, petrous, cavernous and terminal segments of the ICA 
      were made by using 3D CTA images and recorded. The measurements of the male and 
      female patients were compared by Mann Whitney-U test and the the groups were 
      compared by using Kruskall Wallis H test. RESULTS: It was found that, there were 
      statistically significant differences between male and female patients in terms 
      of right and left petrous, cavernous and terminal segments of the ICA in Group 1, 
      right and left cervical left cavernous in Group 3, left cervical, right and left 
      petrous, cavernous and right cavernous in Group 4 (p 0.05). According to the 
      Kruskall Wallis H test analysis results, it was determined that there was no 
      statistically significant difference between the patients in 4 groups for all 
      segment measurements (p 0.05). CONCLUSION: As a result; It was determined that 
      ICA was more affected by hypertension than diabetes. In addition, we think that 
      being knowledgeable of morphometric measurements of ICA will guide the 
      radio-anatomical evaluations and increase the level of microanatomical knowledge 
      in surgical treatment.
