Öğe Branchio-ocuto-facial syndrome with the atresia of external ear(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2005) Öztürk, Özcan; Tokmak, Abdurrahman; Demirci, Levent; Sılan, Fatma; Güçlü, EnderWe report an 8-year-old child with branchio-oculo-facial syndrome. He showed atresia of external ear, preauricular pit, maxillar and mandibular hypoplasia, mild ptosis on the left side, Lacrimal duct obstruction, unilateral branchial cyst, hypertrichosis of the neck, left foot showed mild syndactily of fourth and fifth toes and dental abnormalities. His mother had pseudocleft of the lip which Led to the diagnosis. The importance of serial observations in patients with rare genetic disorders is emphasized. (c) 2005 Elsevier Iretand Ltd.

The objective was to measure the dimensions, composition, and possible structural and radiological changes of the compensatory hypertrophic inferior turbinate in patients with deviated nasal septum. Study Design: A prospective, non-randomized clinical trial at a university medical center. Methods. Twenty-three patients with deviated nasal septum and compensatory hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate in the contralateral nasal cavity were examined by computed tomography. Results. The dimensions of the compensatory hypertrophic inferior turbinate in patients with septal deviation were compared with normal control subjects. The difference in width of the medial and lateral mucosa and the conchal. bone between the two groups was statistically significant (P <.05). Conclusion. The present study uncovers the dimensions and composition of the inferior turbinate with compensatory hypertrophy in patients with nasal septum deviation. The findings support the decision to excise the inferior turbinate bone at the time of septoplasty, because of the significant bony and mucosal expansion.Öğe Papillary carcinoma of the thyroglossal duct cyst in childhood(Springer-Verlag, 2003) Öztürk, Özcan; Demirci, Levent; Egeli, Erol; Çukur, Selma; Belenli, OlcayThyroglossal duct carcinoma is a rare malignancy that is usually diagnosed postoperatively. Approximately 150 cases have been reported in the literature. Eighty-five percent of these were papillary carcinomas. Controversies exist concerning its nature and treatment. In this report, we present an 11-year-old boy with an anterior cervical cystic mass originating in the thyroglossal duct. After a primary Sistrunk procedure, the cyst and tract extending to the foramen caecum at the base of the tongue in continuity with the midportion of the hyoid bone were resected. Histopathologic study demonstrated a papillary carcinoma. After 4 months of follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic without any evidence of recurrence. The clinical and histopathological features and therapeutic options are discussed.Öğe Syndromic etiology in children at schools for the deaf in Turkey(Elsevier Sci Ireland Ltd, 2004) Sılan, Fatma; Demirci, Levent; Egeli, Ayten; Egeli, Erol; Önder, Halil İbrahim; Öztürk, Özcan; Ünal, Zehra SedaObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the syndromic etiology of bilateral severe sensorineural hearing disorders in children and current etiological causes to reduce the cases in the unknown group. Methods: This study was conducted on 550 students of five schools for the deaf in Istanbul and Zonguldak, Turkey. Otologic, audiologic, dysmorphologic, ophtalmologic and dental examinations were performed in all children. Familial and medical histories were obtained. Results: The etiology of hearing loss was genetic in 346 (62.90%), acquired in 107 (19.45%) and unknown in 97 (%17.63) cases. A total of 619 malformations were defined in 550 children and 99 of them belonged to a syndrome. We identified 33 different syndromes for these 99 syndromic children. Syndromic etiology was found in 18.0% of the total and 28.61% of the subjects with genetic etiology. Most common syndrome was Waardenburg syndrome which occurred in 33 children. Conclusion: The incidence of hereditary hearing impairment is very high in developing countries compared to developed countries. Prevention is essential to reduce the incidence, multidiciplinary approach and genetic counselling are necessarry in this regard. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
