Abstract

With the increasing use of imaging technics, many patients have been found to have twisted vessels. Treating these vessels by many surgical procedures, the symptomatology regresses. However, the patient must be well evaluated and the etiology must be clear before the surgery, A 50-year-old female patient was consulted. In her history, she was complaining from vertigo, imbalance, and syncope like episodes once or twice a week with a discomfort increasing from her stomach. Bilateral advanced degree of carotid tortuosity was demonstrated in her imagings. Her neurological and auditory examinations were normal. Routine electroencephalography was in normal limits. Three hour sleep deprivation electroencephalography revealed sharp wave activities on temporal region of the left hemisphere. After initiation of 400 mg/day Carbamazepine, she had no complaint in her 1st and 3rd month visits. As a conclusion, although advancing technology and imaging technics help us to diagnose, anamnesis and semiology are more essential.

Özet

Görüntüleme yöntemlerinin yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte, pek çok kişide büklüntülü damarlara rastlanmaktadır. Çok sayıda cerrahi teknik bu damarları düzelterek mevcut semptomatolojiyi ortadan kaldırmaktadır. Nitekim cerrahi öncesi hasta iyi değerlendirilerek etyolojinin bu olduğundan emin olunmalıdır. Elli yaşında kadın hasta baş dönmesi şikayeti ile konsülte edildi. Hasta anamnezinde haftada bir iki kez ataklar halinde başdönmesi, dengesizlik, bayılır gibi olma hali, arada bu şikayetlerine mideden yükselen iç sıkıntısı tariflemekteydi. Görüntüleme yöntemlerinde her iki internal karotis arterde ileri büklüntülü seyir tespit edildi. Hastanın nörolojik ve kulak muayenesi normaldi. Rutin elektroensefalografi normaldi. Üç saatlik uyku deprivasyonlu elektroensefalografide sol hemisfer temporal bölgede keskin dalga aktiviteleri izlendi. Karbamazepin 400 mg/gün başlanmasının ardından birinci ve üçüncü ay takiplerinde şikayeti olmadı. Sonuç olarak ilerleyen teknoloji ve görüntüleme yöntemleri her ne kadar tanı koymamıza yardımcı olsa da esas olan anamnez ve semiyolojidir.
