    Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Following Electroconvulsive Therapy
    (2019) Kansu, Leyla
    Patients with severe major depression most commonly undergo electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Although this procedure is usually safe and the complication rates are very low, some side-effects and medical complications are observed. The reported adverse effects are generally minor in severity, and vertigo is one of these complications. We presented a case of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) occurring after ECT and aimed to discuss the pathophysiological mechanism of this condition. To the best of our knowledge, there are no other case reports regarding the co-occurrence.

    Asymptomatic giant congenital left atrial aneurysm
    (2019) Yakut, Kahraman; Varan, Birgul; Erdogan, Ilkay; 31559732
    Congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage can be caused by congenital dysplasia of the pectinate muscles and may be accompanied by a congenital absence of the pericardium. Symptoms generally manifest after two decades and the most common symptom is atrial arrhythmia in the form of atrial fibrillation / flutter. A four year-old patient with no symptoms underwent an echocardiographic examination for the investigation of a heart murmur. Echocardiographic examination revealed a large cystic lesion occupying the left hemithorax and compressing the left ventricle. The patient was referred to our center. The lesion caused displacement of the heart rightward behind the sternum which made the examination difficult. We aimed to present this rare case of giant left atrial appendage aneurysm in the light of current literature.

    Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy experience in children and family satisfaction
    (2019) Canan, Oguz
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic data, complication rates of children who underwent percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and to question family satisfaction. Materials and Methods: Demographic information, underlying diseases, anthropometric measurements before and after PEG and z scores advanced complications due to processing and follow-up periods were obtained from patient files. Results: In three years, 21 patients underwent PEG procedures. The median age of the patients was 74 months. The majority of the cases consisted of children with neurological, oncological and metabolic diseases (71.4%, 14.3% and 14.3%, respectively). There was a statistically significant increase between baseline and 6th month and between baseline and 12th month of the all antropometric measures z scores. But no significant difference was observed between 6th month and 12th month of the median weight and height z scores. Parents' opinions about PEG were positive. After the procedure, one patient had ostomy leakage and three patients had local stoma infection. Conclusion: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is a very successful and reliable method in children and adolescents as well as in infants. Families' opinions on PEG after the procedure were positive.

    Cervicofacial and Mediastinum Emphysema Following Dental Intervention
    (2015) Akkucuk, Mehmet Husamettin; Avci, Suat; Torun, Ebru; Gonullu, Hatice
    Mediastinitis is a clinical case with high mortality and morbidity ratio. Thus, defining the causes beforehand is significantly important. A 65-year-old male patient present to the emergency care unit because of symptoms such as swelling of his face and neck. Crepitation is noted during palpation at the right lateral face and neck of patients, indicating that swelling occurred after medical intervention by the dentist using spray. Emphysema is seen on the face, neck, and mediastinum on X-ray and CT scans. Patients were hospitalized, and parenteral antibiotic therapy was applied in case of the possibility of serious infection, which may occur because of the use of air syringe, causing the permeation of oral flora to the neck and mediastinum via buccal mucosal ruptures during the patient's dental surgery. Because swellings disappeared and the patient did not have fever on the third day of hospitalization, the patient was discharged after oral antibiotics therapy. Physicians working at the emergency care unit will always keep in mind the risk of deep neck infections and mediastinitis occurrence that patients presenting with swelling symptoms on the neck and face may have following dental surgery.

    A Case of Compartment Syndrome in the Hand Secondary to Intravenous Fluid Application
    (2015) Araz, Coskun; Cetin, Secil; Didik, Melek; Seyhan, Sevgi Balli; Komurcu, Ozgur; Arslan, Gulnaz; 27366481
    Compartment syndrome of the extremities is a rare but potentially devastating condition. Anaesthetic and analgesic drugs used in the perioperative period may cause a delayed diagnosis by preventing the symptoms from appearing, and irreversible complications can occur. In this report, a case of compartment syndrome secondary to vascular access and its treatment in a morbidly obese patient who underwent abdominoplasty was presented.
