Objective: To report a case of inferior petrosal sinus thrombosisassociated with malposition of central venous catheterization (CVC). Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 5-month-old boy was admitted to Şifa University Hospital because of pneumonia. When exophthalmos occurred in the right eye, he was referred to Ege University Hospital. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance venography confirmed that the catheter in the right inferior petrosal sinus caused the thrombosis. The catheter was extracted and anticoagulant treatment was started. Conclusion: In this case report, malpositioning of the CVC was the cause of the thrombosis. To minimize such complications, catheterization should be done with the supervision of an expert and postprocedure radiography should also be performed.
Introduction: To evaluate corneal changes in patients with aortic aneurysm. Methods: The study group (Group 1) included 63 eyes of 33 patients diagnosed with aortic aneurysm and the control group (Group 2) included 69 eyes of 35 healthy people who presented at the Ophthalmology Department. Complete ophthalmologic examination was performed and steepest keratometry measurements were taken via rotational Scheimpflug corneal tomography on the following parameters: sagittal curvature map (S steepest), central corneal thickness (CCT), minimum corneal thickness (CT min), corneal volume (CV), mean pachymetric progression index (PPI mean), minimum PPI (PPI min), maximum PPI (PPI max), maximum Ambrosio relational thickness (ART max), posterior corneal elevation (PE) and back difference elevation (BDE). Results: The groups were similar in terms of age and gender (p=0.082 and p=0.145, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in visual acuity and intraocular pressure between the groups (p=0.471 and p=0.199 respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in Ks, Kf, Km, CT min, CCT, CV, IS , S steepest, PE, PPI mean, PPI min, PP max, and ART max values between the groups (p>0.05). BDE value was significantly higher in Group 1 (p=0.04). Discussion and Conclusion: The patients diagnosed with aortic aneurysm should be evaluated for keratoconus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
