Hepatic Portal Venous Gas After Blunt Abdominal Trauma in a Child
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2021) Beger, B.; Kızılyıldız, B.S.; Ozdemir, O.
Hepatic portal venous gas is defined as tubular areas with decreased enfeeblement around the periphery of the liver. It is a rare finding and associated with various underlying abdominal pathologies, from benign causes to potentially life threatening conditions. Rate of diagnosis of hepatic portal venous gas have been increased due to widespread use of advanced imaging techniques. Existence of gas in the portal veins after blunt abdominal trauma is a temporary incidental finding that could be resolved spontaneously. Here we report an extremely rare condition that describes a child who was suffering from air emboly of the portal veins due to blunt abdominal trauma. The condition was clinically under control and resolved spontaneously. © 2021, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.

Psychotic Attacks Due To Toxic Neurobrucellosis in Two Adolescent Patients
(Yerkure Tanitim ve Yayincilik, 2014) Ozdemir, O.; Baran, A.I.; Cilingir, V.; Bulut, M.D.; Ozdemir, P.G.; Yilmaz, E.
Brucellosis is a multisystem disease which can present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and complications and affect the central nervous system directly or indirectly. Immunopathologic mechanisms like T-cell mediated cytotoxicity and microglia activation are suggested to play a role in neurobrucellosis. The diagnosis of toxic neurobrucellosis is confirmed by isolation of Brucella organism from blood cultures and/or positive Coombs Wright test and the Standard agglutination test (SAT) in serum when there are no cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain in patients with neurobrusellosis may show different findings mimicking such neurological diseases as inflammation, white matter changes and vascular involvements and other infectious and inflammatory conditions. Different clinical manifestations of neurobrucellosis have been described including meningitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, and psychiatric disorders. It has been indicated in case studies that neurobrucellosis may lead to psychotic disorders. In this study, we present two adolescents who presented with psychotic symptoms due to toxic neurobrucellosis.
Psychotic Disorder, Hypertension and Seizures Associated With Vitamin B12 Deficiency: a Case Report
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2012) Dogan, M.; Ariyuca, S.; Peker, E.; Akbayram, S.; Dogan, S. Z.; Ozdemir, O.; Cesur, Y.
This report highlights a rare presentation of vitamin B-12 deficiency (concurrent psychotic disorder, seizures and hypertension). A 16-year-old girl presented with nervousness that had been persisting for 2 weeks. She had stopped eating and there was decreased self-care and she could not walk and sleep. Two days prior to admission, generalized tonic clonic convulsions were noted. On physical examination, vital signs were normal, except for hypertension (150/100 mm Hg). She did not respond to conversation; she could not answer the questions. Mood was depressive and hallucinations were noted. Laboratory analyses were normal, except for a low vitamin B-12 level (<150 pg mL(-1)). The patient was not given any treatment of hypertension, psychosis or seizures, except vitamin B-12 injections. After that, she showed improvement within 1 week. In the 7 days of hospitalization, the arterial blood pressure returned to normal, psychotic symptoms were resolved, the visual hallucinations and the depressive mood subsided, and she could eat and speak clearly. No hypertension or convulsions have been detected on the control examinations, and she has now been followed-up without any symptoms or findings. In conclusion, with this report we emphasized that psychosis, seizures and hypertension can be a rare manifestation of vitamin B-12 deficiency, which is reversible with therapy and serum vitamin B-12 level should be checked in patients who do not have an obvious cause for psychosis, seizures or hypertension.
