Article: Noninvasive imaging findings of idiopathic renal arteriovenous fistula.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon clinical entity, which can be congenital, acquired, or idiopathic. Diagnosis is aided by radiological studies, with digital subtraction angiography as a gold standard. However, Doppler ultrasound with color Doppler interrogation and computed tomography (CT) angiography are alternative imaging techniques that are noninvasive and can be used for patients to whom no intervention is planned. In this report, we present a case of idiopathic renal AVF diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound and CT angiography. Grayscale ultrasound showed a cyst-like lesion which was confirmed to be a focal aneurysmatic dilatation with heterogeneous fill-in and turbulent blood flow on color Doppler and spectral analysis. CT angiography demonstrated multiple aneurysmatic dilatations of the segmental branch and early opacification of right renal vein on the arterial phase, consistent with renal AVF.Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey) 07/2008; 14(2):103-5. · 1.10 Impact Factor -
Article: Various origins of the duplicated middle cerebral artery.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe the features of a duplicated middle cerebral artery identified by computed tomographic angiography that originates from a previously undefined origin, ie, from the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery. Recognition of this anomaly is important in patients with a possible aneurysm, which was not present in our patient.Journal of neuroimaging: official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging 06/2008; 18(4):448-50. · 1.72 Impact Factor -
Article: A case with mature B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and pancreatic involvement at the time of diagnosis.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pancreatic infiltration with leukemic cells is a rare manifestation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. There are only a few reported cases. We report the clinical and radiologic findings of a 4-year-old boy with mature B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and pancreatic involvement. A computed tomography scan of his abdomen demonstrated diffuse hypodense lesions in the pancreas. Plasma amylase and lipase levels at that time were high, but no signs of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia were observed. After 2 cycles of chemotherapy, the lesions in his pancreas, liver, and kidney disappeared, and his pancreatitis resolved as well. At 11 months' follow-up, after completion of therapy, the patient continues to be in remission.Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology 02/2008; 30(1):87-9. · 1.16 Impact Factor -
Article: An uncommon cause of acute abdomen--epiploic appendagitis: CT findings.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Epiploic appendagitis, which is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen, is a benign self-limiting inflammatory process of epiploic appendices. It has primary and secondary types. Computed tomography findings of the primary type are specific but are demonstrated rarely. Herein, we present pre- and post-treatment computed tomography findings of two cases who admitted to the emergency clinic with acute abdominal pain and were diagnosed to have epiploic appendagitis. Follow-up computed tomography features correlated well with clinical improvement.The Turkish journal of gastroenterology: the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology 07/2007; 18(2):107-10. · 0.47 Impact Factor -

Article: Percutaneous introduction of a snare for removal of migrated biliary stents.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This report describes two cases in which proximally migrated Amsterdam-type biliary stents were extracted using transhepatic snare introduction into the bile ducts. In one case, the migrated stent was removed transhepatically via a percutaneous approach, and in the other a combination transhepatic-endoscopic extraction was successful. No complications were encountered. Percutaneous introduction of snare via transhepatic route offers a good alternative to surgery for removal of migrated biliary stents.Hepato-gastroenterology 49(48):1503-5. · 0.66 Impact Factor
