SummaryBackground:The aim of this report was to evaluate and announce the first documented appearance of Horn Kolb syndrome in Turkey.Case Report:Acheiropodia (Horn Kolb Syndrome) is the bilateral congenital amputation of the distal parts of the 4 extremities. It is an autosomal recessive developmental disorder. The characteristic features are amputation of the upper and lower extremities with aplasia of the hands and feet. The disorder affects only the extremities without other systemic manifestations. In this report, we present the first known case of Horn Kolb syndrome in Turkey, along with the diagnostic features.Conclusions:Severe dysmorphic skeletal anomalies should be excluded as soon as the earlier gestational weeks in every pregnancy by visualizing all 4 limbs of the fetus in routine prenatal ultrasound screening.

The planned insertion of a second intrauterine device prior to the tracing of and management of a lost, dislocated or intra abdominally migrated device is a subject which has not been broached in the literature. Moreover, neither the insertion of a second intrauterine device in addition to an existing one or the co-insertion of two devices at the same time has ever, to our knowledge, been reported previously in the literature. In this report, we aim to present the coexistence of two intrauterine devices in a woman who had been suffering from chronic lower abdominal pain. A national patient record system and close adherence to the available guides will improve the quality of the family planning services while decreasing complication rates.

Gastroschisis and omphalocele are the two of the most common malformations of the anterior abdominal wall that both of them associated with high morbidity and mortality. Sometimes the diagnosis and the realization of the situations by physicians and the parents are difficult. Herein, one omphalocele and one gastroschisis cases were presented with the two-dimensional and threedimensional ultrasonographic diagnostic features. The two entities and the role of three-dimensional ultrasound in diagnosis and the clinical management of the situations are discussed in the view of medical literature. The three-dimensional ultrasound helps in the diagnosis and detection of the severity of the omphalocele and the gastroschisis. J Clin Exp Invest 2011; 2(1): 106-109

Ovarian cysts over 5 and 15 cm are described as large and giant, respectively. Ovarian cysts over 5 cm without regression in 6-8 weeks are indicated for surgery. Although there are published data about the laparoscopic or laparoscopy assisted management of the large and giant cysts, especially in cases of giant cysts midline laparotomy is preferred by many surgeons. In this paper, we present the management of a 32 cm mucinous ovarian cyst by laparoscopy-assisted mini-laparotomy. Keywords: laparoscopy; laparoscopy-assisted surgery; minimal access surgical procedures; mucinous cystadenoma; ovary Özet Over kistleri 5 cm'i aştıklarında büyük, 15 cm'i aştıklarında dev olarak adlandırılırlar. 5 cm'den büyük over kistleri 6-8 hafta içinde gerilemezse cerrahi tedavi gerekir. Büyük ve dev over kistlerinin yönetiminde yayınlanmış laparoskopik ya da laparoskopi asiste yöntemler olsa da, özellikle dev kistlerde laparotomi pek çok cerrah tarafından tercih edilir. Bu yazıda 32 cm'lik dev bir over kistinin laparoskopi asiste mini-laparotomi ile sağaltımını sunuyoruz.
