    Carotid Artery Dissection and Cerebral Infarction Secondary to Blunt Trauma
    (Turkish Neurological Soc, 2012) Gokce, Burcu; Erdemoglu, A. Kemal
    Traumatic carotid artery dissection may appear after blunt head or neck traumas. Patients can be asymptomatic or clinical symptoms may include headache, transient ischemic attack, stroke, loss of consciousness, hemiparesis, aphasia and Horner syndrome, typically occurring within hours to days. Prognosis is good if diagnosed and treated early. As cerebral ischemia and neurological deficits may develop subsequently, it is essential that carotid artery dissection should be considered, and possible cases evaluated and diagnosed appropriately. In this article, we present a case of internal carotid artery dissection with diagnostic neuro-imaging findings, that occurred after 6 hours of blunt trauma and subsequent cerebral infarction following a car accident. Clinical features, neuro-radiological diagnostic methods and treatments options are discussed with relevant literature.

    Colchicine-Related Polyneuropathy and Multiple Organ Failure
    (Turkish Neurological Soc, 2013) Dag, Ersel; Turkel, Yakup; Gokce, Burcu
    Colchicine arrests microtubule assembly and inhibits many cellular functions. This drug is used to treat gout and and Familial Mediterranean Fever. Its gastrointestinal side effects are frequent but more severe adverse effects such as neuropathy and multi-organ failure associated with colchicine are rare. The blood levels of colchicine are dependent on the liver and kidneys. Thus renal or liver failure can result in colchicine toxication. We presented a case of colchicine toxicity, which resulted in multi-organ failure and polyneuropathy.
