Common Coeliacomesenteric Trunk: a Computed Tomography Radiological Study
(Via Medica, 2018) Ozgokce, M.; Ayyildiz, V. A.; Ogul, H.; Arslan, H.; Batur, A.; Yavuz, A.; Yuce, D.
Background: There is an increasing trend for administration of invasive radiological interventions, laparoscopic surgery, and transplantation procedures in recent years, and determining the vascular variations prior to these procedures is crucially important. Coeliacomesenteric trunk (CMT) is among these variations. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate this rare anomaly by computed tomography (CT). Materials and methods: A total of 1000 CT angiography images were analysed retrospectively, and the patients with mesenteric and coeliac arteries arising from the abdominal aorta with a single root were identified. The level that CMT arose, and its branching patterns were determined individually for all patients. Results: Ten patients (6 males and 4 females) with a mean age of 50.2 years (17-87 years) had CMT in CT images. Conclusions: The knowledge of variations in the CMT prior to vascular or laparoscopic interventions will contribute to early intervention in case of a complication, or to avoid from a potential damage.
Concurrence of Prenatally Diagnosed Cantrell Pentalogy and Short and Tight Umbilical Cord: a Possible Case of Hexalogy
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2016) Batur, A.; Goya, C.; Yavuz, A.; Hamidi, C.; Cetincakmak, M.G.
Cantrell pentalogy is a rather rare syndrome characterised by complete or partial ectopia cordis; together with omphalocele, congenital heart diseases, and defects in the pericardium, lower sternum and anterior diaphragm. In this article, our aim is to present the ultrasonographic evidence of the concurrence of a short umbilical cord and the Cantrell syndrome, which we believe will contribute to the literature. © 2016 Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

Congenital Brain Abnormalities: Pictorial Essay
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Batur, A.; Sakarya, M.E.
Among all fetal anomalies, the central nervous system anomalies represent one of the most frequently involved structures with an estimated incidence of 1 per 100 births. It is mostly difficult to make an accurate diagnosis of congenital brain malformation, based on clinical findings; thus use of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential in these cases. The aim of this essay is to state the imaging findings of the main, most prominent congenital brain abnormalities and to present a practical classification of the entity. © 2015 Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography Findings of Persistent Truncus Arteriosus; a Rare Congenital Heart Disease
(Elsevier Inc, 2020) Turkoglu, S.; Batur, A.; Yokuş, A.; Dündar, İ.; Akinci, M.B.
Persistent Truncus Arteriosus is a cyanotic congenital heart anomaly in which a single trunk supplies both the pulmonary and systemic circulation, instead of a separate aorta and a pulmonary trunk. It is usually classified as a conotruncal anomaly. Due to parallel fetal circulation, truncus arteriosus does not cause any haemodynamic problem in utero. However it is a major problem postnatally and, if left untreated, approximately 80% of infants die within the first year. Diagnosis should be made early by radiologists and cardiologists due to fatal illness. We found it valuable to present a case of truncus arteriosus with computerized tomography findings because of its rare occurrence. © 2020 The Authors
Cough-Induced Rib Fracture: a Case Report
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Sünnetçioğlu, A.; Batur, A.
Coughing is a crucial defense mechanism that prevents the entry of foreign material into the tracheobronchial tree. It is generally self-limited and uncomplicated, but complications may develop especially when the cough is violent and paroxysmal. Rib fractures are one of these complications. In this case report, we describe a cough-induced rib fracture. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
A Giant Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura: A Case Report
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Sünnetçioğlu, A.; Batur, A.; Ekin, S.; Bayram, İ.
Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura (SFPT) are rare neoplasms and can have giant diameters. Immunohistochemical analysis has confirmed that SFPTs originate from the mesenchyme underlying the mesothelial layer of the pleura. SFPTs are usually asymptomatic. However, larger tumors occupying larger spaces in the thoracic cavity present more commonly with symptoms like dyspnea or chest pain. In this case report, we present a giant SFPT in a 71-year-old woman who presented with chest pain on the left side and progressive dyspnea over the previous 4 years. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.

Non-Invasive Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis Using Real-Time Elastography and Comparison of Intercostal and Subcostal Approaches
(TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI, 2015) Uslu, A.; Batur, A.; Bıyık, M.; Acıkgozoglu, S.
In patients with chronic liver diseases, the identification of significant fibrosis is of special interest, because the presence of fibrosis is an important parameter for the estimation prognosis, for survelliance and for treatment decisions in patients with Chronic Liver Diseases. Although percutaneous liver biopsy is the gold standart method for assessing liver fibrosis, it has some limitations including its invasive nature, inconvenience, sampling errors, inadequate specimen size and interobserver variability in pathology interpretation. Therefore many studies have focused on the evaluation of noninvasive methods for the assessment of liver fibrosis stage. One of these methods is real time elastography which measures tissue elasticity. In the present study, we assessed intercostal and subcostal measurement methods to discriminate between normal and fibrotic liver. © 2015, TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI. All rights reserved.
Primary Lymphoma of the Gallbladder Accompanied by Cirrhosis: Ct and Mri Findings
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014) Batur, A.; Odev, K.
A 60-year-old patient with cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis B was admitted to the hospital for routine controls. An ultrasonographic examination demonstrated a soft tissue mass originating from the gallbladder. A CT scan and after 3 months a dynamic liver MRI were performed for the possible diagnosis. Based on these imaging studies, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. The histopathological examination diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Copyright 2014 BMJ Publishing Group.

A Rare Case of Secondary Hydatid Cyst: Uterus and Colon Locations in the Same Patient
(Galenos Publishing House, 2019) Beyhan, Y.E.; Yılmaz, H.; Taş Cengiz, Z.; Yıldızhan, R.; Kotan, Ç.; Batur, A.; Halidi, A.G.
The aim of the present study was to present a case with secondary hydatid cysts in both uterus and colon. The patient was a 71-year-old female living in Hakkari, Turkey. She was admitted to the Van Yuzuncu Yil University Faculty of Medicine Medical Center with complaints of chronic abdominal and pelvic pain, and swelling in the abdomen. First, the sagittal T2 weighted magnetic rezonance imaging (MR) showed a type-3 cyst hydatid with daughter vesicles located at the posterior of uterus. Later, MR revealed a type-2 cystic lesion with detached membrane adhered to the anterior wall of colon and it was reported to be associated with abdomen. When the previous liver surgery history of the patient was kept in mind, the new finding was suggestive of a secondary cystic hydatid . In conclusion, it is possible to diagnose secondary cystic echinococcosis in patients with a history of primary cyst surgery in liver or any other organ by combining the symptoms and imaging findings. ©Copyright 2019 Turkish Society for Parasitology-Available online at www.turkiyeparazitolderg.org.
Salmonella Ovarian Abscess in a Patient With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presented as Acute Abdomen: a Case Report and Review of the Literature
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2020) Baran, A.I.; Sunnetcioglu, M.; Yakan, U.; Batur, A.; Karagoz, E.; Karahocagil, M.K.
A Salmonella ovarian abscess is a rare entity, and is similarly uncommon in cases with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. To the best of our knowledge, thirty four cases of Salmonella ovarian abscess have been published in the literature, and only four of them were related to Systemic Lupus Eritematosus. Our aim is to review this clinical entity using information from our own experience as well as that from published cases. © 2020, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Treatment of Abscess Foci in Different Localizations of the Body: Results of Three Year-Experience
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2015) Bulut, M.D.; Yavuz, A.; Bora, A.; Batur, A.; Beyazal, M.; Avcu, S.
In this study, we evaluated abscess foci which are found in different localizations of the body, diagnosed with US, CT and MRI and performed US-guided percutaneus drainage. We evaluated the effectiveness of treatment, etiologic factors, organs and localizations of abscess in the cases who underwent drainage. A total of 63 patients diagnosed with abscess in different tissues and organs, had US-guided percutaneous drainage performed (34 male, 29 female aged between 1-75 years), and 68 abscess foci were analysed. Abscess size varied between 2.5-21 cm and the mean diameter was detected as 8 cm. Diagnosis of abscess was made with US in 45 cases, CT in 23 cases and MRI in 6 cases. While 48 out of 68 abscess foci were simple, 20 were multilocular and contained septations. Air was observed in 19 of all abscess foci. Clinical findings of abscess completely resolved in 60 out of 63 patients who underwent abscess drainage (95.2%). In 3 abscess, the abscess cavity did not shrink as desired due to multiloculation, dense content, adhesions and fistulization. A drainage catheter had also been inserted, so a decision of surgical therapy was made. Secondary drainage was applied due to recurrence in 2 patients. Thirty two abscess foci (47%) developed postoperatively. Complications were not observed in any of the cases. The duration of catheter was calculated as 5-23 days (mean 10.5 days). US-guided percutaneous drainage should be the primarily preferred method in treatment of abscess and collections as it is easily applicable, does not require general anesthesia, is well tolerated, and has high success and low complication rates. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
