    Abstract Background: Cyanoacrylate (CA) has been used as an embolizing agent in the treatment of greater saphenous vein (GSV) insufficiency in recent years and the results regarding the use of this method have started to be published. To the best of our knowledge, the publications in literature do not mention about a significant negative effect of endovenous CA (EVCA) embolization. We aimed to evaluate the effects and undesirable events of this relatively new treatment method and compare them with literature, using the follow-up data of our patients.
    Methods: Patients who had GSV insufficiency for at least 3 months and were treated with EVCA embolization because of this disease were included in the study. Patients were excluded if they had deep vein thrombosis (DVT), excessive tortuous GSV, and peripheral neuropathy. Hospital archive records were reviewed and undesirable events like DVT, thrombophlebitis, and pain related to this treatment procedure were recorded.
    Results: EVCA embolization procedure was performed in a total of 54 patients with an average age of 49.36 ± 13.06 years for the purpose of treating GSV insufficiency. One patient was observed to develop n-butyl CA (NBCA) extension of approximately 5 mm from saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) to the main femoral vein and painful thrombophlebitic reaction was observed in 6 extremities at the first control examination.
    Conclusion: In our opinion, while EVCA embolization is a treatment option with similar success rates to endovenous thermal ablation (EVTA), it should be kept in mind that there may be a possibility of developing thrombophlebitis and NBCA extension or thrombus extension to the deep veins.

    Abstract Abstract: An 88-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a recurrent lower urinary tract infection. He had a history of open prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia 15 years ago and smoking. A mass arising within a bladder diverticula was suspected on the left lateral wall of the bladder on ultrasonography. Although no mass was observed in the bladder lumen on the cystoscopy, abdominal CT detected a left-sided pelvic soft tissue mass. A hypermetabolic mass was detected on 18 F-FDG PET/CT performed because of suspicion of malignancy, and it was excised. Granuloma secondary to chronic vasitis was diagnosed histopathologically.

    Abstract Background: Sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) are known as rare tumors, but they are the most common tumor in fetuses and newborns. This study aims to present fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of SCT diagnosed prenatally and compare them with that of the prenatal Ultrasound (US) findings.
    Methods: Eleven patients diagnosed as SCT prenatally by US and further assessed by MRI are included. MRI was performed via a 1.5-T magnet with a body coil. The presence, size, content extension, and compressive effects of each mass were determined and correlated with US findings and with postnatal examinations, including surgery and pathology. As complications, the presence of ascites and skin edema or pleural or pericardial effusion was diagnosed as hydrops. The amniotic fluid index was calculated for the assessment of oligo- or polyhydramnios.
    Results: US findings are found strongly correlated with MRI findings. An agreement on the extent of each mass was observed in eight patients, disagreement in one fetus was an extension of the tumor within the spinal canal recognized only at MR and assessment of intrapelvic-abdominal extension was superior in MRI. There were n = 6 type I, n = 2 type II, n = 1 type III and, n = 2 type IV tumors. MRI was superior to US for detecting displacement of the colon (n = 3), intrapelvic-intraabdominal extension (n = 1), urinary tract complication (n = 2), and intraspinal extension (n = 1).
    Discussion: MRI is found to be superior to US especially in the assessment of intrapelvic and intraspinal extension of the tumor, colonic displacement, and complications.

    Abstract Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare entity. This report describes selective catheterisation and embolisation of a uterine AVM in an infertile woman, subsequent spontaneous pregnancy and postpartum recurrence of the AVM treated with a second embolisation procedure. A 22-year woman presented with menometrorrhagia and failure to conceive. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed a large uterine AVM. Selective catheterisation and embolisation of the AVM was performed. The patient conceived spontaneously two months later and delivered vaginally. A second embolisation was performed due to recurrence of uterine AVM at six months postpartum. This is the first case reporting postpartum recurrence of a pre-conceptionally treated uterine AVM. Selective catheterisation and embolisation is a minimally-invasive, fertility-preserving procedure that successfully treats uterine AVM and should be the treatment of choice when the patient desires pregnancy. Successful pregnancy and vaginal delivery following embolisation is possible; however, an increased awareness of postpartum AVM recurrence is required. Key Words: Fertility, Pregnancy, Therapeutic embolisation, Uterus, Arteriovenous malformation.

    Abstract Background: Preoperative ultrasound (US) for cephalic cut-down is related to shorter procedure time and higher success rate. This study aimed to assess efficiency of US-guided percutaneous cephalic vein (CV) puncture for placement of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
    Methods: Patients undergoing a procedure including both US-guided pectoral nerve block (PECS) and percutaneous CV puncture were retrospectively investigated. Patient medical history and demographic data was collected. Clinical features of the procedures and intra- and post-operative complications occurring were collected from patient records. Clinical data included target vessel features, and the time taken for the following: CV puncture; CV and PECS puncture; total procedure.
    Results: In total 34 patients had CV puncture with US-guided PECS block was attempted in all patients and the procedure was successful in 27 of 34 (79.4%) patients. The total number of CV puncture attempts was 62 for 34 leads (mean attempts per lead = 1.82). The mean ± standard deviation time for CV puncture was 137.5 ± 27.4 s. There were no venous access-related complications.
    Conclusion: US-guided CV puncture appears feasible and safe with an acceptable success rate. In case of failure of the US-guided axillary or subclavian vein approach, it may be preferred as an alternative to the cephalic cut-down procedure, where the success rate is relatively lower and the risk of bleeding is higher.

    Abstract Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) measurements of hepatic steatosis can be performed using unenhanced CT images. The purpose of this study was to assess the occurrence of hepatic steatosis using unenhanced CT images for patients undergoing cholecystectomy or having cholelithiasis.
    Methods: A total of 143 unenhanced CT cases from a single centre were retrospectively examined. The CT number of liver, ratio of CT number of liver to spleen, and CT number of liver minus CT number of spleen were measured in three groups: (1) patients undergoing cholecystectomy, (2) patients having cholelithiasis, and (3) control group. Abdominal circumference, anterior subcutaneous fat tissue thickness, and body mass index were obtained.
    Results: Mean CT number of liver was significantly different between the group of patients with cholecystectomy and cholelithiasis and the control group (P < .001) and also between cases of cholecystectomy and cholelithiasis (P = .041), with the lowest CT number of liver in the cholecystectomy group. The mean CT number of liver minus CT number of spleen and mean CT number (liver/spleen) ratios, evaluated separately for both lobes, were not different comparing the cholelithiasis and cholecystectomy groups. The mean CT number of liver minus CT number of spleen and mean CT number (liver/spleen) ratios differed significantly between the control group and both patient groups (P < .001). Positive correlations were identified between abdominal circumference, subcutaneous fat depth, body mass index, and liver size and hepatic steatosis.
    Conclusion: There was an increased occurrence of hepatic steatosis in patients who have undergone a cholecystectomy compared with patients treated for cholelithiasis and the control group.

    Abstract Background/aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the incidence and risk factors for the serious complications of pneumothorax and/or parenchymal haemorrhage occurring after computed tomography (CT) guided transthoracic biopsy.
    Materials and methods: The relation between the incidence of pneumothorax and parenchymal haemorrhage due to biopsy, age, sex, lesion localization, lesion size, duration of the procedure, depth of lesion, number of pleural insertions of the biopsy needle and pathology results were statistically evaluated.
    Results: Between 2016 and 2017, 309 cases with lesions below 3 cm in diameter of a total of 768 (40.2%) CT-guided chest biopsy patients were selected for retrospective review. The rate of pneumothorax and parenchymal haemorrhage was 18.1% (59/309) and 51% (158/309), respectively post biopsy. The number of needle pleural insertions was correlated with the development of pneumothorax (P = 0.002). At regression analysis, for parenchymal haemorrhage, lesion depth (P < 0.001) and total procedure time (p=0.036) were determined as the most important independent risk factors.
    Conclusion: Pneumothorax and parenchymal haemorrhage are common complications after CT-guided percutaneous biopsy. The minimum number of needle-pleural insertions, the optimal access route to the lesion and as quick as possible biopsy procedure should be selected to reduce the risk of pneumothorax and parenchymal haemorrhage.
