    Double outlet right ventricle with giant pulmonary artery aneurysm and severe aortic coarctation: diagnosis with multislice CT
    (Turkish J Pediatrics, 2009) Hasanefendioglu-Bayrak, Aylin; Ozturkmen-Akay, Hatice; Kervancioglu, Mehmet; Akgul-Ozmen, Cihan; Senturk, Senem; Nazaroglu, Hasan
    Complex cardiovascular pathologies in the pediatric population are usually evaluated with echocardiography and catheter angiography as initial and advanced imaging of choice, respectively. Echocardiography may pose some difficulties in the diagnosis of complex cardiovascular pathologies. Due to short acquisition times, detailed imaging by the use of post-processing techniques, reduced radiation exposure compared to catheter angiography, and additional information obtained on lung parenchyma, multi-slice computed tomography (CT) is the advanced imaging method of choice in selected cases. The present report describes a 14-year-old symptomatic case with complex cardiovascular pathology, whose vascular architecture could be properly demonstrated by multi-slice CT.

    Horseshoe lung associated with rare bilateral variant of scimitar syndrome: demonstration by 64-slice MDCT angiography
    (Springer, 2008) Akay, Hatice Ozturkmen; Kervancioglu, Mehmet; Nazaroglu, Hasan; Katar, Selahattin; Ozmen, Cihan Akgul; Kilinc, Ilhan; Senturk, Senem
    Scimitar syndrome with bilateral abnormal venous drainage and horseshoe lung is extremely rare. These rare complex anomalies were diagnosed in a 5-year-old boy by 64-slice multidetector CT (MDCT). This technique provides high-quality visualization of vascular, bronchial and parenchymal structures in a single session, such that no further invasive techniques are required. One obvious disadvantage of MDCT is the radiation exposure, especially in paediatric patients. The use of a single phase of contrast material administration reduces radiation exposure. The workstation platforms of MDCT systems allow multiplanar 2-D and 3-D postprocessing. As a result, various complex pathologies, such as that discussed here, can be diagnosed following a single imaging session with a certain precision.

    Left Ventricular Mass in Normal Children and its Correlation with Weight, Height and Body Surface Area
    (Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2011) Kervancioglu, Piraye; Kervancioglu, Mehmet; Tuncer, M. Cudi; Hatipoglu, E. Savas
    Echocardiographic measurement of left ventricular mass (LVM) is being used for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in children with various cardiovascular diseases. The purposes of this study was to establish normal values of LVM according to weight, height and body surface area (BSA) in children and to determine the sex differences. We evaluated 208 children (143 males and 65 females), aged 1 day to 14 years who had no cardiovascular disease. The end-diastolic left ventricular internal dimension (LVIDd), end-diastolic left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWd) and end-diastolic interventricular septum (IVSd) values were determined by M-mode echocardiographic examination. By using these values, left ventricular mass was calculated. The difference between LVIDd, LVPWd and LVM values of boys and girls were not statistically significant. We observed statistically significant differences between the sexes relative to IVSd and LVM/BSA values. The left ventricular mass and its components presented a good correlation with age, weight, height and BSA. The study let us know the lower and upper limits of cardiac dimensions and LVM obtained by echocardiography in normal Turkish children according to BSA. Also, as the LVM/BSA values show gender difference in children, sex should be taken in consideration while evaluating the left ventricular hypertrophy.

    Symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax in term newborns
    (Springer, 2006) Katar, Selahattin; Devecioglu, Celal; Kervancioglu, Mehmet; Uelkue, Refik
    The causes and risk factors of symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax in term newborns are not completely understood. In the present study, our aim was to investigate the risk factors for and clinical and laboratory characteristics of term newborns with spontaneous symptomatic pneumothorax and to evaluate the outcome of management in this condition. A total of 11 term newborns admitted to the newborn intensive care unit with a diagnosis of symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax were included during a 22-month period. Female to male ratio was 4:7, mean gestational age was 39.5 weeks, and 63% were delivered with a cesarean section, 18% of patients had renal and 55% had congenital cardiac anomalies. Rate of cardiac anomalies was more frequent in the study group compared to control group. Echocardiography in addition to renal ultrasonography may also be needed in term newborns with spontaneous symptomatic pneumothorax and further studies may be warranted to evaluate this association.
