ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the conjunctival, lacrimal sac, and nasal flora cultures and conjunctival normalization time following external (EX-), endoscopic (EN-), and transcanalicular multidiode laser (TC-) dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and to evaluate the relationship between culture positivity and surgical success. We further performed antibiotic sensitivity analyses for lacrimal sac culture samples. Methods: A total of 90 patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction were recruited and divided into EX-DCR (n=32), EN-DCR (n=28), and TC-DCR (n=30) groups. Conjunctival, nasal, and lacrimal sac cultures and antibiograms were analyzed. Results: In all three groups, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS) was predominantly isolated preoperatively from the conjunctiva, nose, and lacrimal sac and postoperatively from the conjunctiva. Preoperative and postoperative conjunctival culture positivity rates were similar between all the groups (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference in the growth rate of culture in the lacrimal sac was observed between the three groups (p=0.001). CNS and Staphylococcus aureus cultures were predominantly sensitive to linezolid, teicoplanin, tigecycline, vancomycin, and mupirocin. Conjunctival normalization times were similar between the three groups (p>0.05). Anatomical and functional success rates were not found to be significantly correlated with preoperative conjunctival and lacrimal sac culture positivity (p>0.05). Conclusions: Similar rates of preoperative and 1-week postoperative conjunctival culture positivity were observed in all the groups; a significantly lower bacterial growth rate was observed in postoperative conjunctival cultures. CNS was the most commonly isolated organism. Bacterial growth rates in the lacrimal sac samples were significantly higher in the EN-DCR group. Bacterial growth rates obtained preoperatively from the conjunctival and lacrimal sac culture samples were not correlated with DCR success.

Rapidly Developing Iatrogenic Hyponatremia in a Child following Tonsillectomy

Ear Nose & Throat Journal (2012)

Ümit Taşkın Omer Binay Çiğdem Binay Özgür Yiğit

Hyponatremia develops as a result of the inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone. In rare cases, it develops as an iatrogenic complication. For example, acute iatrogenic post-tonsillectomy hyponatremia has been described in children following the infusion of hypo- or isotonic fluid. We report a case of rapidly developing post-tonsillectomy iatrogenic hyponatremia in a 5-year-old girl following an excessive infusion of hypotonic fluid. Her signs and symptoms began with nausea and vomiting and progressed to seizures and coma. We corrected the electrolyte disturbance by infusing a 3% sodium chloride solution until her neurologic manifestations disappeared, at which time her serum sodium concentration had risen back to 135 mEq/L. Otolaryngologists are not generally exposed to much information about hyponatremia, so we must be aware of its associated neurologic signs and symptoms.

Atypical Presentation of Primary Giant Nasal Septal Mucopyocele

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery (2012)

Ümit Taşkın Yasemin A. Korkut Salih Aydn Faruk Oktay

Mucoceles are expansile, encapsulated, benign cystic lesions with the potential for adjacent bony remodeling and resorption. Previous nasal surgery, recurrent infections, allergies, and facial traumas are all possible causes of mucoceles involving mainly paranasal sinuses. When the mucocele is infected, it is referred to as mucopyocele. Nasal septal mucoceles seen in only very seldom cases might develop from pneumatized and infected nasal septa. In the current article, we present an interesting primary giant septal mucopyocele that destroys all paranasal cells as a tumoral lesion. The perpendicular plate of ethmoidal bone, vomer, and bilateral anterior and posterior ethmoidal cells were destroyed by mucopyocele. The nasal cavity was totally obstructed by lesions on both sides. On the left side, the lesion also eroded the left lateral nasal wall causing external swelling at the medial canthal region. This is the first case of a giant septal mucopyocele of its kind in the literature. Although nasal septal mucocele is very rare, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of intranasal masses.

Analysis of the Vertebrobasilar System in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Ear Nose & Throat Journal (2013)

Ümit Taşkın Özgür Yiğit Ayse S. Sisman Şahin Öğreden Elad Azizli

We conducted a prospective study to evaluate the vertebrobasilar system in adults with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Our study population was made up of 48 patients with OSA and 21 healthy volunteers who served as controls; the OSA patients were subdivided into one group with mild or moderate OSA (n = 22) and another with severe OSA (n = 26). Each participant underwent Doppler ultrasonography three times to measure the diameter of the vertebral artery, the peak systolic velocity (PSV), the resistive index (RI), and the vertebral artery flow volume; the mean of the three measurements was calculated for each patient, for the OSA and control groups, and for various subgroups. No significant differences in vessel diameter, PSV, or RI were seen among any of the subgroups. Overall, the vertebral artery flow volume was slightly, but not significantly, higher in all patients with OSA (206 ml/min) than in the control group (177 ml/min); this difference might reflect the body's daytime response to the chronic apneic events experienced during sleep. The only statistically significant difference we found was in vertebral artery flow volume between the controls and the subgroup with mild or moderate OSA (p = 0.026); no difference was seen between the controls and the patients with severe OSA (p = 0.318). Likewise, no significant difference in any of the four parameters was seen when patients were subclassified by body mass index and arterial oxygen saturation level.

Incidentally Diagnosed Simultaneous Second Primary Tumor of the Sphenoid Sinus in a Patient With Lung Cancer

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery (2009)

Özgür Yiğit Ümit Taşkın Ahmet Uğur Demır Kemal Behzatoğlu

Synchronous tumors are described as multiple primary malignancies presenting within 6 months of diagnosis of index tumors. Synchronous tumors of the lung and the head and neck region is frequently seen. However, isolated sphenoid sinus and lung cancers are not reported yet. Here, we reported an incidentally diagnosed simultaneous second primary sphenoid sinus tumor in a patient with lung cancer. Radiological evaluation results demonstrated a significant contrast-enhanced mass in the sphenoid sinus extending through the nasopharynx because of the destruction of the sphenoid sinus. The decision was made to proceed with chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment regimens for the sphenoid sinus lesion, and right lobectomy was performed for the lung lesion. Asymptomatic simultaneous, synchronous, or metastatic tumors must always be kept in mind, and histopathologic diagnosis should be done for both tumors because presence of second tumor anywhere may change the treatment modality.

Efficiency of Corticosteroid Treatment in Resolution of Bilateral Abducens Paralysis After Head Trauma

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery (2009)

Ümit Taşkın Özgür Yiğit Ayse Sezim Sisman Şahin Öğreden Engin Acıoğlu

A rare case of posttraumatic bilateral abducens palsy is presented. A 17-year-old male patient referred to our clinic because of complaints of diplopia, difficulty in opening his mouth, pain in the face, dyspnea, and chest pain after head trauma from a motor vehicle accident. The patient was not able to abduct eyes bilaterally, and diplopia occurred in the lateral gaze. All other extraocular movement was intact. He also had a mandibular fracture and bilateral pneumothorax. Computed tomography scan of the cranium showed no intracranial or extracranial hemorrhage, no mass effect, and no edema. No abnormalities were seen in the orbits, sinuses, skull base, and calvarium. For the treatment of sixth cranial nerve palsy, we applied corticosteroid therapy and waited for spontaneous recovery. During follow-up, at 3 months after discharge, he showed marked improvement in his ocular mobility and alignment without any residual limitation of abduction bilaterally. A bilateral sixth nerve palsy is rarely seen after a head trauma without cranial pathologic findings, and corticosteroid therapy may have beneficial effects during treatment besides spontaneous resolution.

Histological Evaluation of the Nasal Swell Body in Allergic Patients

Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology (2013)

Özgür Yiğit Ümit Taşkın Engin Acıoğlu Ayse Sezim Sisman Gülben Erdem Huq

Introduction The nasal swell body (NSB), also called the nasal septal swell body or septal turbinate, is the thickest and widest region of the nasal septum. The NSB is located at the level of the internal nasal valve, and the anteriosuperior portion of the nasal septum is composed of cartilage, bone and its overlying mucoperichondrium (1). The presence and importance of the NSB has not been studied clinically and its function is not clear. High nasal septal deviations may even be misdiagnosed due to hypertrophy of this region. The NSB may experience nasal obstruction even following minimal changes in mucosal thickness. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of the NSB showed vasoactive expansile properties but not as much as in the inferior turbinate (2, 3). Histological evaluation of the NSB revealed the presence of seromucinous glands, venous sinusoids and vascular structures (1).
