    Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis Interfering with Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Case Report
    (2014-03-01T00:00:00Z) Taspinar, Ozgur; Aydin, Teoman; Kepekci, Muge; Peru, Celaleddin; Seyithanoglu, Hakan; AYDIN, TEOMAN; SEYİTHANOĞLU, MEHMET HAKAN
    Ankylosing spondylitis is the axial skeleton and sacroiliac crick, starting in late adolescence or early adulthood age, and is characterized by spondyloarthropathy. Some symptoms are confused with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Our case had neck, back, waist, and heel pain and morning stiffness lasting about half an hour and was admitted with complaints. Lateral lumbar spine radiographs taken at the corners of the lumbar vertebral bodies compatible with DISH consecutive osteophytes were detected, and radiography of the calcaneus of the lateral foot showed hyperostosis compatible with DISH. However, the patient was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis because of a bilateral crick in the sacroiliac radiography. In this case-a differential diagnosis between DISH and ankylosing spondylitis-clinical and radiological features were assessed by reviewing the literature.

    Chronic Ossified Epidural Hematoma After Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Insertion: A Case Report
    (2010-10-01T00:00:00Z) Seyithanoglu, Hakan; Guzey, Feyza Karagoz; Emel, Erhan; Ozkan, Nezih; Aycan, Abdurrahman; SEYİTHANOĞLU, MEHMET HAKAN
    Chronic calcified/ossified epidural hematoma is an uncommon complication of ventricular shunt surgery. There are only 4 cases related to valve-regulated shunt operations in the literature. It may be seen especially in young patients with chronic hydrocephalus, probably due to craniocerebral disproportion. The precise mechanism of the calcification or ossification of the hematoma is not known, however, the dura mater seems to play a part in this process. A 17-year-old girl with triventricular hydrocephalus was treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt system including a medium pressure flow control valve. She was admitted with a complaint of severe headache after three years and a bifrontal calcified/ossified epidural hematoma was seen. The calcifying hematoma was removed and the patient-s headache resolved. Although the use of high or medium pressure valves, valves with an antisiphon device, adjustable pressure valves or flow control valves have been recommended to prevent this complication in previous reports, it was seen that our case had been treated with a medium pressure flow control valve.
