Choledochus Cyst: a Case Report
(2011) Kaya, A.; Aktar, F.; Açikgöz, M.; Üstyol, L.; Başaranoǧlu, M.; Arslan, S.
The etiologies of choledochus cysts are not exactly known. Its classic triads are abdominal pain, mass in abdominal area and icter. A 2-year-old girl was brought in with temperature, vomiting and abdominal pain complaints. In her physical examination, there was no sensitivity, defense and rebound in the abdomen. There was also no icter in her body. In the laboratory examination aspartate transaminase and alanine aminotransferase were slightly high, gama-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase also significantly high. Her abdomen ultrasonography showed a dimensionally cystic dilatation with dimensions of 2x1,5 cm and cholecytitis was seen in choledochus proximals. In abdomen computerized tomography a dimensionally 13 mm cystic structure was observed in choledochus distal terminus adjacency associated with choledochus. Our case was orientated to pediatric surgery in terms of follow-up and therapy.
Efficacy of Intravenous Anti-D Therapy in Childhood Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
(2006) Bay, A.; Öner, A.F.; Doǧan, M.; Açikgöz, M.; Dilek, I.
In this study we examined eleven patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who received anti D retrospectively. All of the cases have Rh+ blood group and non-splenectomized. Anti D was given 30μg/kg/dose on 0, 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 days by intravenous infusion in one hour. Three of them (27%) had complete response, three of them (27%) had partial response, three of them (27%) had minor response, and two of them (18%) didn't response. On following, only one patient who responded initially, had high trombocyte count over 1 year. The other patient's trombocyte counts were decreased to the initial level within 1-3 months after the treatment. We did not observe any important side effect. In conclusion, anti D should be considered as a therapeutic option for childhood chronic ITP.
Hyponatremic Seizure of Carbamazepine Poisoning
(TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI, 2012) Bektaş, M.S.; Kaya, A.; Aktar, F.; Temel, H.; Açikgöz, M.; Çaksen, H.
Carbamazepine is a commonly used anticonvulsant and is generally considered to be a safe drug. However, it may sometimes be responsible for some serious toxic effects and even deaths. A 14 month-old girl patient was hospitalized because of convulsion. General condition of this patient without a history of trauma was moderate and her consciousness was lethargic. The patient without other risk factors and a history suggestive of intoxication was admitted to hospital for observation of the clauses of seizure. The patient's mother was epileptic and had a history of using carbamazepine. Carbamazepine can seriously induce hyponatremia. At children's cases with evidence of poisoning but not be shown, drugs used by parents should be investigated.

Massively Enlarged Kidneys Due To Leukemic Infiltration in a Child
(2010) Doǧan, M.; Bay, A.; Bora, A.; Açikgöz, M.; Öner, A.F.
A few cases with bilateral renal enlargement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia were reported in literature. In this article, we reported an unusual case of a child with precursor B-ALL presenting with massively enlarged bilateral unobstructed kidneys and acute renal failure. Renal involvement of ALL should be taken into consideration in case with massively enlarged bilateral kidneys in radiological examination. Based on radiological, clinical and laboratory findings including bone marrow aspirate examination, the patient could be diagnosed as ALL without renal biopsy.
