Pages:

499-508

Synopsis:

In this study, we investigated the risk factors, clinical and laboratory findings, treatment and prognosis of cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT)—an important contributor to morbidity and mortality, associated with the progression of ulcerative colitis (UC) during childhood. The study inferred that CSVT should be considered in paediatric patients with a prior diagnosis of UC and presenting with symptoms of emesis, headache, and mood changes and particularly seizures.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To discuss cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT), an important mortality and morbidity factor, developing in the progression of ulcerative colitis (UC) in childhood age, in the light of the literature.

Issue:

Vol 69, Issue 4: 2021

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.457

Pages:

230-4

Synopsis:

Atropa belladonna intoxication may seriously progress in the act of late diagnosis and treatment in childhood. It is crucial to realize that in Atropa belladonna poisoning, patients should be evaluated carefully in terms of intensive care needs. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale < 12 should be observed in the intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT

Objective: A very small amount of Atropa belladonna (AB) can lead to serious symptoms of poisoning and can cause death in children. In this study, demographic, clinic and laboratory results of AB poisoning were evaluated.

Age and Gender Differences of Orthostatic Hypertension in Children

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 6: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.316

Pages:

583–87

Synopsis:

We report the results of a retrospective cross-sectional study of 2089 children referred for syncope of unknown origin and pre-syncope symptoms. We noted that orthostatic hypertension existed in 23.84% out of these 2089 children. Orthostatic hypertension frequency was higher in males and those ≥ 12 years of age. In orthostatic hypertensive children, head-up tilt test positive rate was higher in females and those ≥ 12 years of age. Since orthostatic hypertension, as an orthostatic blood pressure regulation disorder, is not as well studied as orthostatic hypotension, we believe that our findings could be of interest to the readers of your journal.

ABSTRACT

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common orthostatic blood pressure (BP) regulation disorder. Orthostatic hypertension (OHT), on the other hand, is not so common but has relevancy with autonomic neuropathy and diabetes. Orthostatic hypotension is prevalent in females and elderly person. But prevalence of OHT in age and gender is poorly studied.

Clinical Profile of Familial Mediterranean Fever in a Paediatric Population in Eastern Turkey

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 2: 2016

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.173

Pages:

281–6

Synopsis:

Familial Mediterranean fever is a frequently seen chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to severe morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Severity and frequency of attacks are correlated with mutations. However, environmental factors play an important role as the clinical course can differ even in people with mutations.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Clinical and genetic findings of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) may vary in different populations. Environmental factors may also affect phenotypic features of FMF. In this study, we investigated demographic, clinical and mutational features of FMF patients treated in a single reference hospital in Turkey.

Ewing's Sarcoma Localized in the Mandible: A Case Report

Issue:

Vol 64, Issue 4: September (2015)

ABSTRACT

Ewing's sarcoma is one of the most aggressive primary bone tumours. Ewing's sarcoma arising from the bones of the head and neck region is extremely rare; only 4–9% of all Ewing's sarcoma originate in this region. We report a case of Ewing's sarcoma localized in the mandible because of its unusual presentation.

Thoracoabdominal Duplication Symptomatic on Both Sides: A Case Report

Issue:

Vol 63, Issue 2: Mar (2014)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2012.264

Pages:

ABSTRACT

Thoracoabdominal foregut duplications account for less than 2% of all gastrointestinal duplications. Here, we report a case of thoracoabdominal duplication cyst in an eight-month old boy who presented with both respiratory and abdominal complaints. Excision of both thoracic and abdominal extensions of the thoracoabdominal duplications in the same session is an appropriate and safe option to prevent possible complications.
