Publication Correlation of imaging and intraoperative findings in Pott's puffy tumour(Sage, 2019-02-01) Olmaz, Burak; Cingöz, Mehmet; Akdogan, Emin; Kandemirli, Sedat G.; Kandemirli, Sedat G.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-3976-4062; A-1409-2017Introduction Pott's puffy tumour is characterised by frontal bone osteomyelitis accompanied by subperiosteal abscess. It can be further complicated by intracranial extension of the infectious process. Case presentation A 12-year-old boy initially presented with signs and imaging findings of pan-sinusitis. Despite antibiotic therapy, there was progressive swelling of the forehead region. Subsequent imaging studies revealed osteomyelitis of frontal bone, subcutaneous abscess and extension into intracranial space. The abscesses were surgically drained, and craniectomy for osteomyelitis was carried out. Conclusion The initial symptoms of Pott's puffy tumour can be subtle, and antibiotic use may mask the underlying sinister involvement of intracranial structures. Imaging plays an important role both in diagnosis and detection of possible intracranial complications.Publication Right- versus left-sided approach for transhepatic tunneled catheter placement: Is there a difference?(Springer, 2021-04-08) Nas, Ömer F.; Candan, Selman; Öztepe, Muhammed F.; Kandemirli, Sedat G.; Bilgin, Cem; İnecikli, Mehmet F.; Özkaya, Güven; Gökalp, Gökhan; Öngen, Gökhan; Erdoğan, Cüneyt; NAS, ÖMER FATİH; CANDAN, SELMAN; Öztepe, Muhammed F.; İNECİKLİ, MEHMET FATİH; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; GÖKALP, GÖKHAN; ÖNGEN, GÖKHAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsünde/Biyoistatistik Bilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-0297-846X; 0000-0002-3682-2474; AAK-5124-2020; HHS-7433-2022; GVS-7682-2022; AAG-8561-2021; DLB-1623-2022; IVU-2672-2023; GMO-0473-2022; FQR-8472-2022Objective We aimed to compare the technical difficulties, complications, long-term efficacy, and risks between right- and left-sided approach transhepatic tunneled catheterization. Methods We retrospectively evaluated transhepatic tunneled catheter placement cases in our institution between May 2012 and November 2019. Demographic and procedural parameters were recorded. Statistical tests were used to compare the complication rates of right- and left-sided approach. Furthermore, Cox regression analyses were used to investigate the relationship between functional catheter days and included parameters. Results A total of 83 procedures were performed in 46 patients, with a female to male ratio of 1.88 and a mean age of 55.5 +/- 18.2 years. Indication for catheter placement was chronic renal insufficiency and loss of central venous access through traditional routes in all cases. Median functional catheter durations were 28 days (1-382) and 55.5 days (1-780) for right-sided and left-sided access, respectively. Complication rates were similar for both sides. There was no difference between primary and revision procedures in terms of safety and efficacy outcomes. In univariate Cox regression analysis, gender was the only variable which was found to be statistically significant (HR = 2.014 (1.004-4.038)) for functional catheter days. In multivariate Cox regression model, gender and access side were included which failed to reach statistical significance. Conclusions In our study, both right- and left-sided approaches provided similar safety and efficacy outcomes, suggesting that both techniques can be employed based on physician's preference.Publication Unilateral submandibular gland aplasia mimicking nodal metastasis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020-04-01) Kandemirli, Sedat G.; Kandemirli, Sedat G.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/ Tıp Fakültesi/ Radyoloji Bölümü; A-1409-2017Aplasia of salivary glands is rare and usually involves several major salivary glands. Isolated unilateral submandibular gland aplasia or aplasia accompanied by hypertrophy of contralateral submandibular gland or sublingual glands is a rare entity. The majority of cases are incidentally detected findings in asymptomatic patients; however, imaging findings may mimic mass-like lesions, posing diagnostic challenges in cancer patients. We presented 2 cases, a case with melanoma and an asymptomatic case, who had asymmetric lesion at left submandibular space, demonstrated to represent left submandibular gland accompanied by right submandibular gland aplasia. We aimed to highlight the imaging features for correct identification of these mass-like lesions as normal contralateral salivary gland accompanied by unilateral submandibular gland aplasia.
