Publication Open Access Langerhans cell histiocytosis located in the spheno-orbital bone and the pons: Illustrative case(2023-07-01) ÇEKİÇ, EFECAN; KARAGÖZ, AHMET; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; KAÇAR, KADRİYE EBRU; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; ÇEKİÇ E., Karagoz A., SAKAR M., Senay R. E., AKAR K. E., BOZKURT S., DAĞÇINAR A.BACKGROUND This is a case of aggressive Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) with an atypical intracranial location. OBSERVATIONS In this report, the authors present the diagnosis and treatment of a 12-year-old male patient diagnosed with LCH. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with left-sided facial palsy, and a solid lesion with mass effect in the pons was found. A biopsy was performed via suboccipital craniotomy, and the diagnosis was LCH. A chemotherapy regimen was started since the LCH sample was the resistant type. The patient showed improvement in his neurological deficit following treatment. LESSONS This rare localized and aggressive case’s diagnosis process and treatment choices may apply to future cases. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/CASE22367.Publication Metadata only Challenges in the management of a 7 years old child with thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenoma and the review of the literature(2023-01-01) KIRKGÖZ, TARIK; GÜRPINAR TOSUN, BUŞRA; ELTAN, MEHMET; HALİLOĞLU, BELMA; KAYGUSUZ, SARE BETÜL; SEVEN MENEVŞE, TUBA; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; ÖNEŞ, TUNÇ; GÜRAN, TÜLAY; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; BEREKET, ABDULLAH; DEMİRCİOĞLU, SERAP; KIRKGÖZ T., Abali S., Seker A., GÜRPINAR TOSUN B., ELTAN M., Helvacioglu D., HALİLOĞLU B., KAYGUSUZ S. B., Yavas Abali Z., SEVEN MENEVŞE T., et al.Introduction: Thyrotropin-producing pituitary adenoma (TSHoma) is a very rare disease, representing less than 1% of the pituitary tumours, present with elevated thyroid hormones and normal/high TSH concentrations. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy with nervousness was referred by his psychiatrist for elevated free T4, T3 and TSH levels. Initial evaluation revealed an elevated -subunit.Pituitary MRI demonstrated a macroadenoma. The patient underwent a trans-sphenoidal tumour resection (TSS) which showed positive immunohistochemical staining for TSH, growth hormone, and prolactin in tumoral tissue. Euthyroidism was achieved for one year after TSS, then, recurrence of tumour with elevated TSH and thyroid hormone levels necessitated a re-operation with TSS followed by gamma-knife radiosurgery. The euthyroid state was achieved and lasted for 2.5 years this time, but, due to the recurrence, medical treatment had been commenced with cabergoline and octreotide. Euthyroidism was maintained for the last 4 years on monthly octreotide treatment. A repeat MRI demonstrated no pituitary mass but a mass in the sphenoidal sinus had been detected. Removal of this mass by surgery did not achieve euthyroidism. 68Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT showed residual tissue extending from the pituitary region to the sphenoid sinus.The patient\"s bone age was advanced 2 years at diagnosis which became 4 years in one year after the diagnosis and remained so throughout follow-up, leading to a final height of -3.3 SDS below his target height at the age of 16 years. Conclusion: The diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of TSHomas are challenging and short stature due to accelerated bone maturation is a complication of paediatric TSHomas.Publication Open Access A new method for quantification of frontal retrusion and complex skull shape in metopic craniosynostosis: a pilot study of a new outcome measure for endoscopic strip craniectomy(2022-06-01) SAÇAK, BÜLENT; ERDOĞAN, ONUR; BAYRİ, YAŞAR; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; SÖNMEZ, ÖZCAN; SAKAR M., Haidar H., SÖNMEZ Ö., ERDOĞAN O., SAÇAK B., BAYRİ Y., DAĞÇINAR A.OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to propose a new skull outline–based method to objectively quantify complex 3D skull shapes and frontal and supraorbital retrusion in metopic craniosynostosis using 3D photogrammetry. METHODS A standard section from 3D photogrammetry, which represents the trigonocephalic shape, was used in this study. From the midpoint of the area of this section, half diagonals were calculated to the skull outline at 5° increments in the anterior half of the head. These half diagonals were used to create a sinusoidal curve, and the area under the sinusoidal curve (AUC) was used to represent the mathematical expression of the trigonocephalic head shape. The AUC from 0° to 180° (90° from the midline to each side) was calculated and is referred to as AUC0→180. The AUC from 60° to 120° (30° from the midline to each side) was also calculated and is referred to as AUC60→120. A total of 24 patients who underwent endoscopic strip craniectomy and 13 age- and sex-matched controls were included in the study. The AUC values obtained in patients at different time points and controls were analyzed. RESULTS The mean preoperative AUC60→120 and AUC0→180 in the patients were significantly lower than those in control individuals. The increase in both AUC60→120 and AUC0→180 values is statistically significant at the discontinuation of helmet therapy and at final follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that AUC60→120 is a more accurate classifier than AUC0→180. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method objectively quantifies complex head shape and frontal retrusion in patients with metopic craniosynostosis and provides a quantitative measure for follow-up after surgical treatment. It avoids ionizing radiation exposurePublication Metadata only Pediatrik dev torakolumbosakral araknoid kiste bağlı kord herniasyonu olgusu(2021-10-31) OĞLİN, VOLKAN; BAYRİ, YAŞAR; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; ŞİMŞEK, İSMAİL; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; SÖNMEZ, ÖZCAN; Şimşek I., Oğlin V., Sönmez Ö., Sakar M., Bayri Y., Dağçinar A.Araknoid kistler; araknoid membranın altında oluşan selim, neoplazi içermeyen, içi sıvı dolu yapılardır. Bu kistler genellikle insidental olarakgörüntülemeler sırasında saptanır ve belirti vermedikçe tedavi edilmeleri gerekmez. Semptomatik olduklarındaysa; valsalva manevralarıylaartabilen sırt ve bel ağrısı, radiküler ağrı veya kronik miyelopati gibi bulgu ve belirtilere sebep olabilirler (4).Pediatrik yaşta daha sık görülen araknoid kistler, genellikle konjenitaldir (1). Spinal araknoid kistler dahaçok torakal seviyelerde ve vertebranın dorsalinde konumlanırlar. Ortalama üç vertebra uzunluğundadırlar veT3-T6 seviyeleri arasında daha sık görülürler (5). Dev araknoid kistler nadirdir ve bugüne kadar literatürde çokaz sayıda vaka bildirilmiştir (3,6). Çalışmamızdaki amacımız kliniğimizde tedavi edilmiş dev araknoid kist olgusunun yönetimini sunmaktırPublication Metadata only Septal DNET: Nadir bir olgu sunumu(2021-10-31) ÇEKİÇ, EFECAN; YARALI, AHMET TUĞRUL; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; BAYRİ, YAŞAR; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; ŞİMŞEK, İSMAİL; Şimşek I., Yılmaz N., Çekiç E., Yarali A.
