Publication Metadata only Somatosensory evoked potentials as a screening tool for diagnosis of spinal pathologies in children with treatment refractory overactive bladder(SPRINGER, 2017) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Thomas, David Terence; Yener, Sevim; Kalyoncu, Aybegum; Uluc, Kayihan; Bayri, Yasar; Dagcinar, Adnan; Dagli, Tolga; Tugtepe, HalilPurpose To evaluate the usefulness of somatosensory evoked potential as a screening tool for spinal pathologies in patients with treatment refractory overactive bladder. Methods This prospective study was performed between January 2011 and January 2014. Children > 5 years old with treatment refractory overactive bladder were enrolled after exclusion of anatomical and neurological causes of incontinence. All patients underwent urodynamic studies, spinal MRI, and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP). Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were calculated for SEP. Results Thirty-one children (average age 8.3 +/- 2.9 years) were included in the study. SEP was abnormal in 13 (41.9%), and MRI was abnormal in 8 (25.8%) patients. SEP was found to have a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 73.9%, positive predictive value of 53.85%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 94.4%. Conclusion In patients with treatment refractory OAB, SEP is an important tool for the screening of tethered cord/spinal pathologies. Our results suggest that a child with a normal SEP study in this group of patients may not require further investigation with MRI.Publication Metadata only Acute Obstructive Hydrocephalus due to a Giant Posterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysm in a Pediatric Patient(S. Karger AG, 2018) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Sarica C., Tanrikulu B., Sahin Y., Daǧçlnar A., Baltacioglu F., Bayri Y.Introduction: Intracranial aneurysms are very rare in children. Although subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) is by far the most common presentation of aneurysms in the majority of the pediatric case series, it is not rare for an unruptured aneurysm to present with a mass effect. Acute hydrocephalus is a common finding following aneurysmal SAH. However, this malady may develop even in the absence of SAH but secondary to direct obstruction by a giant aneurysm. This situation is extremely rare in children, with only a few known case reports in the literature. Case Report: We report the case of a 10-year-old girl who presented with signs and symptoms of acute hydrocephalus; further radiological evaluation revealed obstructive hydrocephalus and a giant posterior cerebral artery aneurysm. Following endovascular treatment of the aneurysm, hydrocephalus was completely resolved, and the patient was symptom free. Conclusion: Although they are very rare, giant intracranial aneurysms must be kept in mind during the differential diagnosis of pediatric acute hydrocephalus cases. Hydrocephalus may resolve spontaneously after the successful treatment of these aneurysms. © 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.

Complications may emerge during or after the operations. Infection, hematoma and neurological deficits are early noticed findings. Screw and/or rod fractures present in long-term after surgery. Rod migration in out of the spinal column is a rare entity. A 67-year-old woman was visited our clinic for right leg pain. She had a previous spinal instrumentation surgery for spondylolisthesis in another center 6 years before. After radiological work-up, a distally migrated rod piece was observed in the retroperitoneal portion. The patient was operated for degenerative change; old instruments were replaced and extended to the L2 level with posterior spinal fusion. After the operation, her right leg pain improved. The asymptomatic migrated rod piece has regularly been followed clinically and radiologically, since then. Although it has rarely been reported, migration of the instrumentation material should be kept in mind. Spinal fixation without fusion makes the mechanical system vulnerable to motion effects of spine, especially in a degenerative and osteoporotic background. Long-term, even life-long follow-up is necessary for late term complications.Publication Metadata only Isolated metastasis of breast cancer to the pituitary gland(MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS & MEDIA PVT LTD, 2014) BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; Eksi, Murat Sakir; Hasanov, Teyyub; Yilmaz, Baran; Akakin, Akin; Bayri, Yasar; Bozkurt, Suheyla Uyar; Kilic, TurkerPublication Metadata only Value of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis and follow-up of carotid-cavernous fistulae(SPRINGER WIEN, 2001) BAYRİ, YAŞAR; Kilic, T; Elmaci, I; Bayri, Y; Pamir, MN; Erzen, CThe introduction of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) has made it possible to examine blood flow characteristics in carotid-cavernous sinus fistulae (CCSF) in a noninvasive, relatively simple, and reliable way. This study investigated the usefulness of TCD in the diagnosis and follow-up of various CCSF subtypes. We found characteristic TCD findings associated with high-flow CCSF, but perhaps more importantly, found this technique to be an excellent tool also for detecting and following treatment results in low-flow CCSF. The low-flow fistulae exhibit less specific clinical signs and are harder to distinguish using the noninvasive radiological methods of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The impact of our findings on future approaches to the diagnosis and follow-up of these different types of acquired vascular shunts is also discussed. The conclusions were as follows: a) TCD parameters (blood flow velocity and pulsatility index) for CCSF are specific, and are thus valuable in the hemodynamic assessment of these lesions. b) Since dural CCSF feature more subtle hemodynamic changes and CT and MRI findings may be normal, these cases pose diagnostic challenges. In these situations, TCD reveals specific diagnostic findings and allows the examiner to determine whether cerebral angiography is indicated.Publication Metadata only The Effect of Untethering on Urologic Symptoms and Urodynamic Parameters in Children With Primary Tethered Cord Syndrome(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2015) DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; Yener, Sevim; Thomas, David Terence; Hicdonmez, Tufan; Dagcinar, Adnan; Bayri, Yasar; Kaynak, Ayten; Dagli, Tolga E.; Tugtepe, HalilOBJECTIVE To evaluate urinary system symptoms (USSs) and urodynamic parameters (UPs) before and after untethering in children with primary tethered cord syndrome (pTCS). METHODS USSs and UPs of patients undergoing untethering for pTCS during the period January 2008-July 2012 were evaluated preoperatively and at the postoperative third and 12th months. For analysis, patients were separated into 4 groups according to the presence of USSs: group 1, USSs preoperative positive and postoperative negative; group 2, USSs preoperative positive and postoperative positive; group 3, USSs preoperative negative and postoperative positive; group 4, USSs preoperative negative and postoperative negative. Preoperative and postoperative USSs and UPs were compared. RESULTS Forty patients (average age, 7.2 years, follow-up of 2.8 years) were included. There were 13 patients in group 1, 11 in group 2, 3 in group 3, and 13 in group 4. All patients showed improvement when preoperative and postoperative USSs and UPs were compared. There was no correlation between USSs and UPs, both preoperatively and postoperatively. USSs and UPs at the postoperative third and 12th months were similar. Patients with no USS showed the most significant improvement in UP after untethering. CONCLUSION Our study has demonstrated that untethering in patients with pTCS improves urologic symptoms and UPs. However, there is no correlation between improvement in symptoms and urodynamic findings. Urodynamic changes are similar at the postoperative third and 12th months. As the most significant improvement was seen in patients without USSs, it is important that these patients undergo urodynamic studies preoperatively and postoperatively.

The cranial roots emerge from the medulla, whereas the spinal roots arise from motor cells within the ventral horn of C1-C7 segments of the spinal cord. Communications have been described between the spinal accessory nerve rootlets and the dorsal rootlets of cervical spinal nerves. In the present case, we report a communication that has not been reported before and discuss the functional anatomy. Materials and Methods During the dissection of the craniovertebral junction of a 67-year-old formalin-fixed adult male cadaver, a connection between the spinal accessory nerve rootlets and the dorsal rootlets of the cervical spinal nerves was observed. Results A communication between the spinal rootlets of the accessory nerve and the dorsal roots of cervical spinal nerves was present on the right and left side. On the right, a communication between the accessory nerve spinal rootlet and the dorsal rootlet of the fourth cervical spinal nerve existed. On the left, there were two branches from the lowest accessory nerve spinal rootlet, one run ventrally and the other dorsally to the spinal rootlet and reached the dorsal root of third cervical spinal nerve. The dorsal root of C1 did not exist on either the right or the left side. Further, an unusual spinal accessory nerve formation was also observed. Discussion This case does not fit into any of the previously described classifications in the literature. Therefore, the different variations concerning the communications between the spinal rootlets of the accessory nerve and the cervical spinal nerves should be kept in mind during both surgical, especially radical neck dissections, and nonsurgical evaluations.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.
