Öğe Aortic aneurysm: A rare complication of ulcerative colitis(2007) Karakurt C.; Koçak G.; Selimo?lu A.; Özen M.[No abstract available]Öğe Arterial tortuosity syndrome: Case report(2012) Karakurt C.; Koçak G.; Elkiran Ö.; Coucke P.J.; Van Maldergem L.Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS; OMIM 208050) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by dysmorphic features, elongation, tortuosity, and aneurysm of the large and middle sized arteries. We report on a 13-year-old boy who presented with a malformed ascending aorta mimicking coarctation of aorta and a cutis laxa-like facial dysmorphia. Based on angiogram, a diagnosis of ATS was made and subsequently confirmed by a homozygous one base-pair deletion at position g.318 of SLCA10. We stress similarities (facial appearance, inguinal herniae, ..) between ATS and autosomal recessive cutis laxa, both being connective tissue disorders disorganizing the elastin network.Öğe Evaluation of scorpion sting cases admitted to department of pediatric emergency for seven years(2013) Kaya S.; Karakurt C.; Elkiran Ö.; Kaya Ö.A.; Karakuş A.; Koçak G.Aim: In this study, 32 cases of scorpion sting cases admitted to Inonu University School of Medicine Children's Emergency Department between 2001-2007 were evaluated retrospectively. Material and Method: The cases were evaluated for the clinical findings, laboratory results, treatment and prognosis. Results: The patients mean age were 7.35±4.79 years, 17 (53.1%) were female and 15 (46.9%) were male respectively. Most of the cases were in June (25.0%) and most of the bites were at upper extremities (53.1%). The most common findings were rash (eight patients-25.1%), and tachycardia (9.5%). All of case were vaccinated against to tetanus. The fluid therapy was initiated the patients that is required the intravenous therapy. Twenty eight (87.5%) case which scorpion not applied in the referred center were administered scorpion serum. Twenty one patients (65.6%) were followed up for a day. Thirty one cases (96.8%) were discharged without complications while and one case (3.1%) were died due to respiratory and circulatory collapse Conclusions: Our study have given important clinic and epidemical results about scorpion stings in Malatya religion.Öğe A rear complication of chronic hypertension in childhood: Aortic dissection: A case report(2010) Karakurt C.; Koçak G.; Erdil N.; Battalo?lu B.; Nisano?lu V.; Tabel Y.; Si?irci A.Aortic dissection is a life-threatining condition and is commonly seen elderly patients with connective tissue disorders, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Hypertension is a main risk factor of development aortic aneursym and aortic dissection in adult patients. Aortic dissection is rare in infants and children younger than 16 years old, and is not always associated with Marfan's syndrome or other connective tissue di sorder. We descri be a 16-years-old boy, applied our emergency department due to strongly chest pain, with ruptured aortic dissection related to chronic renal hypertension and successfully treated with surgical approach. Chronic hypertensive patients in childhood should be monitoring with echocardiography regularly for aortic root dilatation and dissection.

The major organ system involvements in childhood systemic lupus erythematosus are similar to those found in adults. Recognizing and reversing secondary causes of central nervous system abnormalities in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are essential for preventing long-term neurologic disability or death. In this manuscript, we present an 11 year-old male followed up in our clinic, who had the very rare involvement and complications of systemic lupus erythematosus in childhood. He developed a reversible posterior leucoencephalopathy after the first dose of cyclophosphamide, but cyclophosphamide therapy was not stopped as there was no clear evidence in the literature related to the role of this drug in reversible posterior leucoencephalopathy. The patient has now recovered.Öğe Serum-Soluble ST2 (sST2) and NT-proBNP Levels in Children With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension(Iranian Heart Association, 2022) Durmuş M.K.; Karakurt C.; Taşkapan Ç.; Öncül M.; Elkıran Ö.; Bulut N.; Bağ H.G.Background: Soluble ST2 (sST2) is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family and is considered a novel biomarker of inflammation, fibrosis, and cardiac stress. Additionally, sST2 is accepted by guidelines as a measure of risk stratification in patients with heart failure. Methods: Our study enrolled 53 subjects: 23 patients who were followed up for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and were prescribed different medications and 30 healthy children admitted to the pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic with chest pain or innocent murmurs as the control group. The plasma concentration of NT-proBNP was analyzed via the electrochemiluminescence method, and the sST2 level was analyzed via the ELISA method. Results: The mean age was 13.9 years (5.5–18 y) in the case group and 9.6 years (3–17 y) in the control group. The mean NT-proBNP level was significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (763.73±2432.67 pg/mL vs 51.71± 30.08 pg/mL; P<0.01). The mean sST2 level was 1469.26±510.9 pg/mL in the patient group and 1151.30±655.99 pg/mL in the control group (P>0.05). Conclusions: Our results suggest that sST2 could be a significant indicator of right heart failure and cardiovascular mortality in children, as well as a novel biomarker of PAH. However, we found that the serum sST2 level was not as useful as the serum NT-proBNP level in this regard. Further studies with larger patient series are needed to evaluate sST2 as a biomarker in patients with PAH. © 2022, Iranian Heart Association.

The repair of an ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASDs) by an open heart operation is a safe procedure associated with low mortality and morbidity. Transcatheter closure is a less invasive method of repairing ASDs and may also be the procedure of first choice in residual postsurgical ASD. Only few cases of residual postsurgical ASD which were closed transcatheter have been reported in literature. In this report, we present a 17-year-old malepatient who had residual ASD after surgical closure with patch, residual ASD was succesfully closed with Amplatzer septal occluder.
