Öğe A case of calcified ureteritis cystica: an indiscernible condition from ureterolithiasis.(2009) Alicioglu B.; Kaplan M.; Aktoz T.; Atakan I.H.Ureteritis cystica is characterized by formation of multiple cysts in the wall of the renal pelvis or ureter. The clinical course is usually slow, but manifests if the cysts cause infection or obstruction. Stones are further complication to the disease. In this case study, we present a 39-year-old male originally referred with renal colic and misdiagnosed as ureterolithiasis due to the calcifiying cysts.Öğe Gorham-Stout disease of the humerus(2008) Yalniz E.; Alicioglu B.; Benlier E.; Yilmaz B.; Altaner S.Gorham-Stout disease is characterized by local proliferation of small vascular or lymphatic channels resulting in progressive destruction and resorption of bone. The etiology and pathogenesis of the disease remains mostly unknown, despite some 175 reported cases. A case of Gorham-Stout disease of the humerus in a 14-year-old boy is described. The patient presented with progressive pain and deformity of the right arm. Although the disease was described in different bones of the body its location in the humerus is rare. We report the natural history and clinical follow-up in a young patient. A fibular graft was performed but 10 months later, resorption and pathological fractures occurred again. This study presents the radiographic and MRI features of Gorham disease.Öğe Interrelationship between liver hemodynamics and tumor metabolism in liver metastases: diagnostic value of Doppler perfusion index revisited.(2013) Alicioglu B.; Sarikaya A.; Bulakbasi N.It should be expected that the hepatic blood flow increase in the cases with liver metastasis. We aimed to find out if there is a correlation between Doppler parameters and hepatic metabolic activity in oncology patients. 35 patients with hepatic metastases who were identified by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan and assessed with Doppler ultrasound were included in this prospective study. Patients with hepatic disease, cardiac dysfunction, dehydration, history of alcoholism, intake of antihypertensive or vasoactive medication were excluded. Volume flow of the proper hepatic artery and the portal vein were measured in the hepatoduodenal ligament by Doppler sonography. Doppler perfusion index (the ratio of the hepatic artery flow to the total liver blood flow) and flow volumes of 31 age matched subjects were compared. Both flow of the proper hepatic artery and portal vein were found to be significantly higher in patients with liver metastasis. The mean Doppler perfusion index value was 0.2 ± 0.13 in hepatic metastases whereas 0.13 ± 0.05 in control group. Doppler perfusion index was significantly higher in liver metastases (p=0.008). A positive correlation was found between the maximum standardized uptake value of the liver and flow volume of the proper hepatic artery (r=0.774, p=0). Blood flow of the proper hepatic artery and Doppler perfusion index correlates with hepatic standardized uptake value. Flow measurements of the liver may become an important parameter for selecting patients for further positron emission tomography scan and following-up the response after systemic and local therapeutic procedures.Öğe Magnetic resonance imaging of muscular involvement in juvenile dermatomyositis: case report.(2008) Alicioglu B.; Karakas H.M.; Firat A.K.A case of 5 year old juvenile patient with dermatomyositis together with conventional and diffusion-weighted MRI images is reported. The reported case was atypical for the pattern of involvement of the accompanying oedema which was affecting distal parts of the extremities and anterior muscle groups. Electromyography was negative. The case confirmed by a pathologist demonstrates the use of diffusion weighted imaging in determining unequivocal oedema and its exact extent.Öğe The morphometric analysis of crista phallica in identification of sexes(Universidad de la Frontera, 2009) Ulucam E.; Alicioglu B.; Cikmaz S.; Yilmaz A.; Sut N.Crista phallica (CP) is used to determine sex in anthropology and criminal forensic medicine; however, it does not exist in anatomic and radiological terminology. The purpose of this retrospective study is morphometric analysis of the CP. We studied radiographs displaying several different clinical indications from patients whose bone maturation were fully complete. The crista phallica located on both sides of the medial portion of ischiopubic ramus (IPR) were localized and their peak points were determined. The distance from these peak points to the inner cortex of IPRs were measured, as well as the angles between the tangents passing the peak points from both sides. We determined the distance of the IPR (DIPR) for males and females sequentially as 21.3±3.5 mm, and 17±2.8 mm, angle of CP (ACP) as 149.1°±15.7, and 163.5°±13.4. It was identified that ACP for females is less than ACP for males (p<0.001). ACP and DIPR alone are not sufficient criteria to determine sex. Therefore, the results of our findings show that it would be more useful to study other specifications and their metric analysis in order to determine sex.Öğe Radiologic findings of the flexor pollicis longus hypoplasia(2007) Alicioglu B.A case of a 10-year-old boy with hypoplasia of the flexor pollicis longus and without other associated anomalies and trauma history is reported. Flexor pollicis longus tendon anomalies are rare; several types of this congenital anomaly have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis should be considered to the conditions of a patient who was unable to flex the interphalangeal joint of the thumb. Hypoplastic thumb or absent interphalangeal joint crease may be a diagnostic feature in such cases. We preoperatively present the radiological findings of this rare congenital anomaly. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features have never been reported in the literature. © ISS 2006.Öğe Synovial cysts of the lumbar facet joints: a retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study investigating their relation with degenerative spondylolisthesis.(2009) Alicioglu B.; Sut N.Patients with synovial cysts of the facet joints were compared with patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS), based on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of their spondyloses. The lumbar MRI of 30 patients with DS (group 1) 24 patients with synovial cysts of the facet joints (group 2) were studied. All patients were evaluated in terms of facet joint arthritis, disc degeneration, facet joint effusion, and the thickness of the flaval ligament. 54.1% of the patients with synovial cysts had associated DS. The mean grade of disc degeneration (2.43+/-0.50 and 2.13+/-0.68 in groups 1 and 2, respectively) and the mean thickness of the flaval ligament (3.20+/-1.22 mm and 3.83+/-1.46 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively) did not differ between the groups (p=0.093 and p=0.097). The mean grade of facet joint osteoarthritis (2.53+/-0.51 and 2.08+/-0.72 in groups 1 and 2, respectively) was significantly higher in group 1 (p=0.18). The co-existance of synovial effusion was significantly higher in cases with synovial cysts. (p=0.008). Synovial cysts are associated with DS and facet joint osteoarthritis. The presence of synovial effusion and the high degree of disc degeneration are prominent features in patients with synovial cysts. Although osteoarthritis and DS are highly concomitant with facet joint synovial cysts, both conditions do not invariably lead to a cyst formation.Öğe An unusual association of cutaneous myxoma with Favre-Racouchot syndrome.(2008) Benlier E.; Alicioglu B.; Kandulu H.; Yurdakul E.S.; Top H.We present a case of bilateral foot multiple cutaneous myxomas, associated with Favre-Racouchot syndrome (FRS) which is a dermatologic condition of multiple large comedones and nodules of the periorbital areas. As the mucocutaneous and cardiac manifestations were absent, Carney complex was excluded. To our knowledge, there has been no report of the association of cutaneous myxoma and FRS. Additionally, the magnetic resonance images of this benign tumor which is rare in the literature are presented.
