Abstract

Incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms is variable in different regions. Making definitive diagnosis of the disease, screening tests of aortic diameter is required in different regions, in the present study, we have aimed to determine abdominal aortic diameter of living adults in the region of Şanlıurfa and for this purpose, we have used abdominal computed tomography of 297 patients who applied to radiological clinic of the Harran University. Abdominal aortic diameters were ranged between 11 to 29 milimeters (mean 18.0 ± 3.6 mm). They were ranged between 11 to 26 mm (mean 17.3 ± 3.2 mm) among the women while ranging between 11 to 29 (mean 18.8 ± 3.8 mm) among men. Discussing the results, we have concluded that a measurement of a population is not sufficient to estimate of correct aortic diameters of the other populations and similar screening measurements are required in other populations too.

Özet

Abdominal aort anevrizmasının toplumlardaki görülme oranı değişkendir ve bu oran değişik insan gruplarında farklılık göstermektedir. Bu hastalığın gerçek anlamda tanısının konulabilmesi için, her toplumdaki normal aort çapının tarama testleri ile belirlenmesi gereklidir. Bu çalışmada biz, Harran Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi, Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı'nda değişik amaçlarla bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile batın değerlendirmesi yapılan 297 hastanın (155 kadın, 142 erkek) abdominal aorta çaplarını ölçtük ve bu şekilde hastanemize başvuran yetişkin bölge insanının normal değerlerini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Hastaların ortalama aort çapları 11 - 29 mm arasında (18.0 ± 3.6 mm) olup, bu değer kadınlarda 11 - 26 mm (17.3 ± 3.2 mm), erkeklerde de 11 - 29 mm (18.8 ± 3.8 mm) arasındaydı. Sonuçlarımızı değerlendirdiğimiz zaman, bir bölgede yapılan çalışmanın, diğer bölge insanlarının durumu hakkında yeterli önbilgiyi veremeyeceğini, bu nedenle de benzer çalışmaların farklı bölge insanlarında ayrı ayrı yapılması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
