Publication Open Access Pulmonary Edema in the Acute Stage of Rheumatic Fever Treated with Double-Valve Replacement in a Pediatric Patient(2020-03-01T00:00:00Z) Yozgat, Yilmaz; Uzuner, Selcuk; YEŞİLBAŞ, OSMAN; Ogur, Mustafa; YAKUT, KAHRAMAN; Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; Temur, Hafize Otcu; AY, YASİN; YOZGAT, YILMAZ; UZUNER, SELÇUK; YAKUT, KAHRAMAN; AY, YASİNCardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) is a rare clinical condition of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) in the early stage. Generally, CPE can be convalesced by steroid and anticongestive treatment. Herein, we describe a case of a 14-year-old boy with ARF presenting with bilateral pulmonary edema secondary to acute mitral and aortic insufficiency. In this case, the pulmonary edema of ARF was successfully managed by combined surgical replacements of both valves.Publication Metadata only Caregiver burden and related factors in caregivers of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus.(2021-08-03T00:00:00Z) Uzuner, Selcuk; Durcan, Gizem; Sahin, Sezgin; Bahali, Kayhan; Barut, Kenan; Kilicoglu, Ali Güven; Adrovic, Amra; Bilgic, Ayhan; Kasapcopur, Ozgur; UZUNER, SELÇUK; KILIÇOĞLU, ALİ GÜVENPublication Metadata only Recurrent Elevation of Troponin Levels in Acute Myocarditis: Is it a Sign of Ventricular Tachycardia?(2020-07-01T00:00:00Z) Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; YEŞİLBAŞ, Osman; UZUNER, SELÇUK; SARITAŞ, BETÜL; ERGÖR, Serap Nur; OTÇU TEMUR, Hafize; YOZGAT, Yılmaz; YEŞİLBAŞ, OSMAN; UZUNER, SELÇUK; SARITAŞ, BETÜL; ERGÖR, SERAP NUR; OTÇU TEMUR, HAFİZE; YOZGAT, YILMAZPublication Open Access Subdural empyema, brain abscess, and superior sagittal sinus venous thrombosis secondary to Streptococcus anginosus(2021-01-01T00:00:00Z) YEŞİLBAŞ, Osman; YOZGAT, Can Yılmaz; Tahaoglu, Irmak; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; TÜREL, Özden; TEKİN, NUR; UZUNER, SELÇUK; Abdallah, Anas; YEŞİLBAŞ, OSMAN; YOZGAT, YILMAZ; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; TÜREL, ÖZDEN; TEKİN, NUR; UZUNER, SELÇUKStreptococcus anginosus can be frequently isolated from brain abscesses, but is a rare cause of the liver, lung, and deep tissue abscesses. In this report, we present a patient with subdural empyema, brain abscess, and superior sagittal cerebral venous thrombosis as complications of rhinosinusitis whose purulent empyema sample yielded S. anginosus. A 13-year-old female patient was referred to our pediatric intensive care unit with altered mental status, aphasia, and behavioral change. On a brain computed tomography scan, subdural empyema extending from the left frontal sinus to the frontal interhemispheric area and left hemispheric dura was detected. Intravenous ceftriaxone, vancomycin, and metronidazole treatments were started. Subdural empyema was surgically drained. Postoperative brain magnetic resonance venography imaging showed superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Cultures obtained from purulent empyema sample revealed S. anginosus. On the third day of hospitalization, a brain computed tomography scan showed brain edema, especially in the left hemisphere and significantly increased subdural empyema that had been previously drained. She was reoperated and decompressive craniectomy was performed. On the fifth day, partial epileptic seizures occurred. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a brain abscess on the interhemispheric area. The magnetic resonance imaging findings of abscess formation improved on 30th day and she was discharged on the 45th day after the completion of antibiotic therapy.Publication Metadata only Post- infectious bronchiolitis obliterans in children: Clinical and radiological evaluation and long- term results.(2021-06-04T00:00:00Z) Yazan, Hakan; Khalif, Fathouma; Shadfaan, Lina Al; Bilgin, Sennur; Nursoy, Mustafa; Cakin, Zeynep Ebru; Cakir, Erkan; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ÇAKIR, ERKANPublication Metadata only A Rare Presentation of Neurobrucellosis in a 6-Year-Old Pediatric Patient with Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis(2020-10-01T00:00:00Z) TÜREL, Özden; KUTLU, NURETTİN ONUR; YEŞİLBAŞ, Osman; Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; DÜNDAR, TOLGA TURAN; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ABDİLLAHİ, FATOUMA KHALİF; TÜREL, ÖZDEN; UZUNER, SELÇUK; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; DÜNDAR, TOLGA TURAN; SEYİTHANOĞLU, MEHMET HAKAN; YEŞİLBAŞ, OSMAN; KUTLU, NURETTİN ONURBrucellosis is one of the most common zoonosis worldwide. It is still endemic in many regions of the world. A 6-year-old female was admitted to the emergency department (ED) due to a sudden change in consciousness, urinary incontinence, vomiting, and difficulty in walking. Neurological examination demonstrated abducens nerve paralysis, mild-to-moderate motor deficit in hemiparesis in the left arm. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a hemorrhagic focus at the right frontal lobe and thrombosis in the superior sagittal sinus of the brain. The diagnosis of neurobrucellosis was confirmed by identifying Brucella spp. in the blood culture on the day 6 of pediatric intensive care unit admission; thus, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and rifampicin, and ceftriaxone were promptly initiated. Despite neuroprotective management and acetazolamide, the patient-s neurological problems and high intracranial pressure (ICP) persisted. An external ventricular drainage tube and a Codman ICP monitor were placed to be on the consent vigilance of the patient-s neurological condition. The patient-s ICP continued to increase despite the current treatment regimen; therefore, a decompressive bitemporal craniectomy was performed. The ICP level of the patient returned to its normal range immediately after the craniectomy. The patient did not have any notable neurologic sequelae at the first-year follow-up. Neurobrucellosis is a rare complication of systemic brucellosis and may present as meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, radiculitis, and/or neuritis. Herein, we describe a six-year-old girl with brucellosis complicated with cerebral vein thrombosis. This case illustrates the need for close monitoring of patients with unexplained neurological signs or symptoms for brucellosis in endemic areas.Publication Metadata only Williams Syndrome Presenting with Intractable Staphylococcus aureus Endocarditis(2020-02-14T04:00:00Z) Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; UZUNER, SELÇUK; Yesilbas, Osman; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; YOZGAT, Yılmaz; İŞCAN, AKIN; TÜREL, Özden; UZUNER, SELÇUK; YEŞİLBAŞ, OSMAN; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; YOZGAT, YILMAZ; İŞCAN, AKIN; TÜREL, ÖZDENPublication Metadata only THE ISPAT PROJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF A STANDARDIZED TRAINING PROGRAM FOR CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN WITH TRACHEOSTOMY.(2021-09-25T00:00:00Z) Yegit, Cansu Yilmaz; Kilinc, Ayse Ayzit; Oksay, Sinem Can; Unal, Fusun; Yazan, Hakan; Köstereli, Ebru; Gulieva, Aynur; Arslan, Hüseyin; Onay, Zeynep Reyhan; Baskan, Azer Kilic; Collak, Abdulhamit; Atag, Emine; Ergenekon, Almala Pinar; Ikizoğlu, Nilay Bas; Ay, Pinar; Oktem, Sedat; Gokdemir, Yasemin; Girit, Saniye; Uzuner, Selçuk; Uyan, Zeynep Seda; Cokugras, Haluk; Karadag, Bulent; Karakoc, Fazilet; Eralp, Ela Erdem; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ÇAKIR, ERKANPublication Metadata only Development of Myocardial Infarction in a 12-Year-Old Female after the Use of Inhaled Salbutamol(2020-12-01T00:00:00Z) Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; UZUNER, SELÇUK; OTÇU TEMUR, Hafize; ERGÖR, Serap Nur; GULİYEVA, AYNUR; Tahaoglu, Irmak; Coban, Senay; YOZGAT, YILMAZ; UZUNER, SELÇUK; OTÇU TEMUR, HAFİZE; ERGÖR, SERAP NUR; GULİYEVA, AYNUR; YOZGAT, YILMAZAnomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) accounts for 0.023% of all cases reported in pediatric patients. According to literature, only a handful of ALCAPA patients are able to reach adulthood. Clinical manifestations of ALCAPA range from fatigue during exercise to sudden death in adulthood. Herein, we described a 12-year-old symptomatic patient with ALCAPA who had severe chest pain after using salbutamol treatment for presumed asthma. ALCAPA is one of the curable versions of myocardial ischemia and infarction in childhood. Due to clinical findings in conjunction with electrocardiogram and echocardiography, a computed tomography scan with coronary angiography was performed and the diagnosis of ALCAPA was confirmed. We presented this case because ALCAPA-related myocardial ischemia and infarction in children are rare with only sporadic cases reported. This case illustrated the need for close monitoring and surgery as the best treatment for ALCAPA associated with myocardial infarction.Publication Metadata only Lifesaving Treatment of Aortic Valve Staphylococcus aureus Endocarditis: Daptomycin and Early Surgical Therapy(2021-11-01T00:00:00Z) Yozgat, Can Yilmaz; UZUNER, SELÇUK; AY, YASİN; Temur, Hafize Otcu; Bursal Duramaz, Burcu; TÜREL, Özden; ÇALIM, Muhittin; Buyukpinarbasili, Nur; Yozgat, Yilmaz; UZUNER, SELÇUK; AY, YASİN; BURSAL DURAMAZ, BURCU; TÜREL, ÖZDEN; ÇALIM, MUHITTIN; YOZGAT, YILMAZInfective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon infection in children. The recommended treatment for native valve endocarditis secondary to methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infection is antistaphylococcal penicillins such as nafcillin or oxacillin. If the initial therapy fails in IE, it can lead to catastrophic results. Nowadays, daptomycin is the best alternative antimicrobial agent to treat children with severe infections, when standard antimicrobial therapy does not yield a result. Herein, in this article, we described a case of a 16-year-old boy who had aortic valve S. aureus endocarditis with septic embolization and stroke. The patient was successfully treated only with daptomycin as well as surgical therapy in the early phase of the infection.
