Bowel Perforation at the Delayed Stage After Shunt Surgery: Case Report
(derman Medical Publ, 2012) Arslan, Mehmet; Yazici, Taner; Gudu, Burhan Oral; Demir, Ismail
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery is common used procedure in the treatment of hydrocephalus. This invasive procedure has been associated with several abdominal complications. Bowel perforation from peritoneal catheter is rare, but is an important complication; if early diagnosis is established severe ventriculitis and sepsis may develop ascending infection from gasrointestinal flora migrating thorough catheter. A 7.5-year-old, ventriculoperitoneal shunted girl with hydrocephalus was admitted for recurrent meningitis. Computed tomographic scan revealed peritoneal catheter perforating the sigmoid colon. Bowel perforation should be considered definitely if there is recurrent meningitis without the rectal extrusion of peritoneal catheter in patients with shunt.
Primary Hydatid Cyst of the Brain During Pregnancy - Case Report
(Japan Neurosurgical Soc, 2006) Yilmaz, Nebi; Kiymaz, Nejmi; Etlik, Omer; Yazici, Taner
A 26-year-old woman in the 28th week of pregnancy presented with a primary cerebral hydatid cyst manifesting as deteriorating consciousness and weakness in the left arm and leg. Cranial computed tomography revealed an intracranial hydatid cyst. The cyst was surgically removed and albendazole was administered. The patient had a spontaneous vaginal term delivery and no problem was observed in the mother or child. No primary focus was found in the lungs, liver, and other organs. Hydatid cyst is still an important disease. Intracranial hydatid cyst without primary foci in organs such as the liver and lungs is very rare. Primary cerebral hydatid cyst during pregnancy can be successfully treated by surgical and medical intervention.
Vomiting and Dysphagia Due To Fractured of Allograft After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
(derman Medical Publ, 2012) Arslan, Mehmet; Hiz, Ozcan; Yazici, Taner; Kotan, Cetin; Gudu, Burhan Oral
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is commonly performed for cervical disk disease. Establishing Fibular allograft after discectomy is frequently applied. A variety of complications may occur such as dysphagia, dyspnea, bilateral vocal cord paralysis, recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, internal juguler venous thrombosis, cervical screw extrusion, bone graft extrusion, vascular injury and epidural hematoma. Dysphgia is the most common complication after ACDF and its etiology is still obscure. It usually improves in 6 months, but remains as a significant problem for some patients. Graft extrusion is a well -recognized complication. We present the case of 44 - year - old woman with dysphagia and persistent vomiting due to collapsed fibula allograft. She had undergone anterior C 5-6 discectomy and fusion with fibula allograft at our institute 7 months before. Her lateral cervical radiography showed collapsed fibula allograft, which was extruded toward the esophagus, at cervical 5-6 level. Fractured bone graft was removed by anterior cervical approach. After surgery, the patient's complaints were improved. Dysphagia has been very frequently reported due to various causes after ACDF. Whereas, feeling of nausea and vomiting have never been reported. Also extrusion or collapse of bone graft following ACDF has rarely been reported.
