(OrtadogÂ u Reklam Tanitim Yayincilik Turizm Egitim Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., 2015) Kamaci, M.; Şahin, H.G.; Kolusari, A.; Adali, E.; Kurdoʇlu, Z.; Kurdoʇlu, M.; Adali, F.
Hypopharyngeal cancer is very rarely seen in pregnancy. The patients may apply with the symptoms and signs of difficulty in swallowing, sore throat or hemoptysis. A thirty nine years old G:5, P:3, A:2 pregnant woman whose fetal biometric measures were consisted with 32 weeks of gestation applied with difficulty in swallowing and sore throat. On the magnetic resonance imaging, a vegetative mass with 6.5x3.5x3.5 cm dimensions was detected at the hypopharyngeal location and the biopsy was reported as "well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma". The patient was regarded as stage IV (T4N1M0) inoperable by the Department of Otolaryngology. The patient whose chemoradiotherapy was delayed to the postpartum period upon the desire of the family was delivered at 37th gestational week by cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. It was learned that the patient was given a chemoradiotherapy in another center, 2 weeks after the delivery. In this case presentation, the management of a pregnant woman with hypopharengeal cancer which is a very rare condition in pregnancy is presented. Copyright © 2015 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
Primary Abdominal Ectopic Pregnancy: a Case Report
(2009) Yildizhan, R.; Kolusari, A.; Adali, F.; Adali, E.; Kurdoglu, M.; Ozgokce, C.; Cim, N.
Introduction: We present a case of a 13-week abdominal pregnancy evaluated with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Case presentation: A 34-year-old woman, (gravida 2, para 1) suffering from lower abdominal pain and slight vaginal bleeding was transferred to our hospital. A transabdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. The diagnosis of primary abdominal pregnancy was confirmed according to Studdiford's criteria. A laparatomy was carried out. The placenta was attached to the mesentery of sigmoid colon and to the left abdominal sidewall. The placenta was dissected away completely and safely. No postoperative complications were observed. Conclusion: Ultrasound examination is the usual diagnostic procedure of choice. In addition magnetic resonance imaging can be useful to show the localization of the placenta preoperatively. © 2009 Yildizhan et al.; licensee Cases Network Ltd.
Reversible Acute Cortical Blindness Associated With Eclampsia in Complete Hydatidiform Mole
(Springer London Ltd, 2011) Adali, E.; Kurdoglu, M.; Avcu, S.; Yildizhan, R.; Adali, F.; Kolusari, A.
Eclampsia is rare in molar pregnancy. Sudden cortical blindness in eclampsia is an uncommon but very dramatic experience for the patient. Because of its rarity, blindness associated with eclampsia may pose a significant problem for the obstetrician. We describe cortical blindness and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) complicating molar pregnancy-related eclampsia. The clinical presentation in our patient was consistent with PRES associated with eclampsia together with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Preeclampsia and eclampsia are regarded as common causes of PRES, which is considered to be the result of vasogenic brain edema caused by a rapid raise in blood pressure. Clinical and imaging findings are usually reversible. Early diagnosis and elimination of possible causes are important in order to avoid permanent visual or brain injury. Imaging (especially MRI) should be carried out in eclamptic patients with visual disturbance in order to exclude other causes of blindness.
