Introduction: This study aims to present the results and treatment of prilocaine-induced methemoglobinemia at three different hospital pediatric surgical clinics. Methods: The data were obtained from hospital information systems at the
Ganglioneuroma are rare, benign neural tumor of sympathetic nervous system originating from neural crest sympathogonia. Pelvic ganglioneuromas may mimic ovarian masses. We present a patient operated with the diagnosis of ovarian tumor which had a pelvic gangliuoneuroma.Case:An eleven-year old female patient complaining of abdominal pain and a mass was seen at our hospital. On examination a 10×10 cm mass was palpable in the pelvis. Laboratory parameters were all normal and the tumor markers such as β-HCG, AFP, CEA, serum catecholamines were negative. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed an 11×6×9 cm solid mass containing calcification. The preoperative diagnosis was an adnexal mass of ovary. The patient was operated under general anesthesia and we found a retroperitoneal mass attached to the spine at L5. The tumoral mass was completely excised. Histopathological examination of tumor was reported as ganglioneuroma. The patient was discharged on seventh day of hospitalization with no neurological deficit.Retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas are usually present with local mass a benign tumoral course. The preoperative diagnosis may be difficult in pelvic ganglioneuromas due to close similarity with the ovarian masses. The treatment of the ganglioneuroma is total surgical excision and histology provides a confirmatory diagnosis.
Henoch-Schönlein purpurası (HSP), çocukluk çağının en sık görülen vasküliti olup, cilt, eklem, gastrointestinal sistem (GİS) ve böbreklerdeki küçük çaplı damarların tutulumuyla karakterize multisistemik bir hastalıktır.Olgu: Yedi yaşında, erkek hasta 3 gün önce başlayan karın ağrısı, bulantı ve kusma şikâyetleri ile başvurdu. Akut batın tanısı ile hastaya laparatomi uygulandı ve jejenum ilk 10 cm'lik alanda ödem dışında patoloji görülmedi. Apendektomi yapılarak batın kapatıldı. Postoperatif beşinci günde diz ekleminde ağrı ve melenası oldu. Alt ve üst GİS endoskopisinde gastrik mukoza, duedonum ve rektumda diffüz hiperemi ve kanama izlendi. Vaskülit tanısı ile intravenöz steroid tedavisi başlandı. Hastada yatışının 11.gününde kollarında deri döküntüleri izlendi. Steroid tedavisine yanıt alınan hasta yatışının 15. günü şifa ile taburcu edildi.Tartışma -Sonuç: HSP de purpurik cilt lezyonları en yaygın bulgu olup genellikle GİS tutulumundan önce görülür. GİS tutulumu cilt tutulumundan önce görüldüğü durumlarda karın ağrısı apandisit tablosuna benzemektedir.
