    Extrahepatic abdominal hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus
    (Amer Roentgen Ray Soc, 2007) Ilica, Ahmet Turan; Kocaoglu, Murat; Zeybek, Nazif; Guven, Suleyman; Adaletli, Ibrahim; Basgul, Alin; Coban, Hidayet
    OBJECTIVE. The classical findings in hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus with liver or lung involvement are well known. However, diagnosing hydatid disease at unusual locations may be challenging because of variable imaging appearances depending on the host reaction. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to review the sonographic, CT, and MRI features of extrahepatic abdominal hydatid disease including intraperitoneum, retroperitoneum, diaphragma, bone, and soft tissue of the abdomen. CONCLUSION. Extrahepatic abdominal hydatid lesions have nearly identical imaging features, including the presence of cyst wall calcification, daughter cysts, and membrane detachment. The combinations of radiologic and serologic tests especially in patients living in the endemic areas contribute to the diagnosis. Despite their rarity, being familiar with the spectrum of radiologic findings in these unusual sites is helpful to improve diagnostic accuracy.

    Median arcuate ligament syndrome: Multidetector computed tomography findings
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007) Ilica, Ahmet Turan; Kocaoglu, Murat; Bilici, Aslan; Ors, Fatih; Bukte, Yasar; Senol, Ayhan; Ucoz, Taner
    Objective: We aimed to describe the clinical and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography findings of celiac, mesenteric, and renal artery entrapment by the median arcuate ligament. Materials and Methods: Patients (n = 453) who underwent MDCT abdominal aorta angiography in a period of 3 years were retrospectively reviewed for vascular compression by median arcuate ligament known as median arcuate ligament syndrome. The MDCT examinations were performed with 16-slice (n = 292) and 64-slice scanners (n = 161). The median arcuate ligament itself and adjacent vascular branches of abdominal aorta were assessed for compression by 2 different radiologists who are experienced on MDCT angiography more than 3 years. Both axial, multiplanar reformatted images and 3-dimensional angiograpbies were used for interpretation. Results: Twelve patients were found to have clinically significant vessel entrapments by median arcuate ligament; 6 of them with celiac artery, 4 of them with renal artery, and 2 of them with both celiac and mesenteric artery involvement. Patients with celiac and mesenteric vessel entrapments presented with epigastric pain. All patients with renal artery entrapment had resistant hypertension. The MDCT showed the proximal narrowing caused by compression of median arcuate ligament. The proximal portions of renal arteries pulled down and in toward the aorta, with mild to moderate narrowing. Conclusions: The MDCT examination with multiplanar images and 3-dimensional angiography is a noninvasive imaging technique that can be used with high accuracy in the diagnosis of median arcuate ligament syndrome.

    Multidetector Computed Tomography Findings of Double-Outlet Right Ventricle Associated with Multiple Cardiac and Visceral Anomalies
    (Forum Multimedia Publishing, Llc, 2008) Bilici, Aslan; Ilica, Ahmet Turan; Karagoz, Mine; Bukte, Yasar; Alan, Sait
    A 25-year-old woman who had undergone the Blalock-Taussig shunt operation for double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) in her childhood was admitted to our hospital with mild cyanosis and dyspnea on exertion. To evaluate the precise complex anatomy of this abnormality, we carried out multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography. MDCT clearly revealed both an occluded Blalock-Taussig shunt and a complex cardiac anatomy, including DORV, a doubly committed ventriculoseptal defect, pulmonary stenosis, persistent left superior vena cava, minor aortic arch anomalies, and total anomalous hepatic venous drainage. To our knowledge, our report is the first description of such a complex cardiac anatomy to be revealed with MDCT.

    Treatment of hypertension from renal artery entrapment by percutaneous CT-Guided botulinum toxin injection into Diaphragmatic crus as alternative to surgery and stenting
    (Amer Roentgen Ray Soc, 2007) Bilici, Aslan; Karcaaltincaba, Musturay; Ilica, Ahmet Turan; Bukte, Yasar; Senol, Ayhan
    OBJECTIVE. Our objective was to describe the technique and outcome of CT-guided injection of botulinum toxin into the diaphragmatic crus in a patient with hypertension caused by left diaphragmatic crus compression of the left renal artery. CONCLUSION. After the procedure, the patient's hypertension disappeared. We propose this technique, which directly targets inhibition of overactivity of the diaphragmatic crus, for treatment of hypertension caused by diaphragmatic compression of the renal artery as an alternative to surgery and renal artery stenting.
