Spinal tumor
Spinal tumor

A nine-year-old came in with long-standing, severe hip pain. Imaging revealed a myxopapillary ependymoma extending from the thoracic spinal cord down to the sacrum. The tumor was removed in a carefully planned operation, and the child remains under close follow-up. A reminder that persistent, worsening hip or back pain in a child is not always musculoskeletal.

A Difficult Journey Beginning with Severe Hip Pain Our 9-year-old patient presented with complaints of severe hip pain that had been ongoing for a long time. As a result of detailed evaluations and imaging studies, a diagnosis of Myxopapillary Ependymoma extending from the thoracic region of the spinal cord down to the sacrum was made. A carefully planned surgical intervention was successfully performed. The patient’s treatment and follow-up process continues under close monitoring by our specialist team. Not every hip or back pain may be a simple musculoskeletal issue. In cases of long-lasting, worsening pain or pain that affects daily life, detailed evaluation is of great importance. We extend our best wishes for recovery to our patient and their family and hope for healthy days ahead. #MiksopapillerEpendimom #SpinalTumor #PediatricNeurosurgery #BrainAndNervousSystemSurgery #SpineSurgery #Health #GetWellSoon

Anett Endrerud, from Norway, had disabling occipital headaches, bilateral pulsatile tinnitus, visual disturbance, cognitive difficulty, and strong pulsations in her head and neck. CT showed a calcified stylohyoid ligament on the left and an angulated styloid process on the right, both compressing the internal jugular veins; the left side was dominant, with pulsations to the skull base and breathing difficulty when lying down. Dr. Aghayev diagnosed bilateral vascular Eagle syndrome and performed bilateral styloidectomy, resection of the C1 transverse processes, removal of the calcified ligament, and full decompression of both jugular veins, carotid arteries, and cranial nerves from the skull base to the hyoid. The operation was completed without complications and she is recovering well.

Patient Success Story Anett Endrerud from Norway Anett Endrerud came to our clinic after struggling with severe and disabling symptoms for an extended period, including occipital headaches, bilateral pulsatile tinnitus, vision disturbances, cognitive difficulties, and intense pulsating sensations in her head and neck. Prior investigations in her home country suggested Bilateral Eagle Syndrome with vascular involvement. Imaging revealed a calcified stylohyoid ligament on the left and an angulated styloid process on the right, both contributing to compression of the internal jugular veins and associated vascular structures. The left side, despite having the shorter styloid, was the dominant symptomatic side, marked by pulsations extending to the skull base and breathing difficulties when lying down. After reviewing her CT scans and discussing her case in detail via remote consultation, Dr. Kamran Aghayev diagnosed her with Bilateral Vascular Eagle Syndrome. Given the severity of the venous compression and the extent of her symptoms, surgical intervention was recommended. Surgical treatment included: Bilateral styloidectomy Resection of the C1 transverse processes Full decompression of both internal jugular veins, carotid arteries, and cranial nerves from the skull base down to the hyoid level Removal of calcified ligament tissue to ensure full decompression and resolution of vascular compression The operation was performed without complications. Anett is now recovering well, and we are pleased to see her already experiencing improvements in quality of life. This case highlights the importance of individualized evaluation and experienced surgical management in complex vascular Eagle Syndrome.

Mr. Aqeel had both cervical and lumbar disc herniation. The more urgent cervical surgery was done first and he recovered fully; encouraged by that, he returned for the lumbar surgery. Both were successful and he is back to normal life, pain-free.

Mr Aqeel came to our clinic after a long and careful search for the right doctor. He was suffering from both cervical and lumbar disc herniation, which significantly affected his quality of life. After a detailed and thorough evaluation, we determined that surgical intervention was necessary for both lumbar and cervical. We recommended starting with the cervical spine surgery, as it was the more urgent of the two. Cervical disc herniation surgery was performed successfully one year ago. The patient experienced a full recovery and a remarkable improvement in his symptoms. Encouraged by this result, he made the decision to proceed with the lumbar disc herniation surgery as well. We are happy to share that both surgeries were successful, and the patient has now returned to his normal life without any pain or complications. Seeing our patients regain their health and live pain-free is the greatest reward of all.

Claudia Jimenez

Claudia spent more than two years with pain, numbness, and heaviness in her right arm that worsened with everyday activities like driving. In Canada, nerve conduction studies, imaging, and medication trials led nowhere, and she was told it was fibromyalgia. Vascular MRI and provocative Doppler studies showed something else: bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome, both neurogenic and vascular. Dr. Aghayev performed bilateral decompression, removing the first rib and the fibrous bands compressing the nerves and subclavian vessels. She is recovering and steadily improving.

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Kamran Aghayev and his entire team. After years of dealing with symptoms and struggling to get clear answers from different doctors, Dr. Aghayev immediately recognized what was going on. For the first time, I felt truly listened to and understood. His knowledge and experience with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) were obvious right away. Under his care, I underwent surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, including first rib removal. This surgery truly changed my life. I am now over a year post-operation and doing better than I ever imagined possible. I still have healing ahead of me, but the improvement in my daily life compared to before the surgery is incredible. I’m deeply grateful for Dr. Aghayev’s skill, professionalism, and dedication to helping patients with complex conditions like TOS. I also want to mention how wonderful the entire team was throughout the process. His assistant Bassam is absolutely amazing — incredibly communicative, kind, and always quick to respond whenever I had questions. Having that level of support made a huge difference during such an important medical journey. And a special thank you to Ahmed, our driver. He was one of the kindest people we met during our time there. He is such a genuine, warm-hearted person and truly made us feel welcomed and cared for. From the medical care to the organization, communication, and support from the entire team, the experience was outstanding. I’m incredibly thankful to Dr. Aghayev and everyone involved in my care. For anyone suffering from thoracic outlet syndrome and searching for a surgeon who truly understands this condition and has the experience to treat it properly, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kamran Aghayev.

From Canada to Istanbul: Claudia’s Journey to Healing from TOS We recently had the privilege of welcoming Claudia Jimenez Martinez, a determined and courageous patient from Canada, who came to us after years of suffering from debilitating symptoms with no clear diagnosis. For over two years, Claudia experienced severe pain, numbness, tingling, and heaviness in her right arm, symptoms that worsened even with simple activities like driving or sitting. Despite undergoing multiple consultations, nerve conduction studies, imaging tests, and medication trials back in Canada, her condition remained unresolved. She was initially misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, but her symptoms told a different story. Claudia did not give up. After reviewing her detailed medical history and advanced imaging, including vascular MRI and provocative Doppler studies, our diagnosis was clear: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), affecting both the neurogenic and vascular structures, on both sides.

Lumbar disc herniation
Lumbar disc herniation

A patient had a long-standing lumbar disc herniation with numbness and tingling in the legs, eventually unable to sit or stand; several doctors had offered little hope. Dr. Aghayev performed a TLIF, removing the herniated disc and placing a titanium cage and bone graft for fusion. A year later she is fully active and pain-free.

Original Facebook caption

Our patient, who had been suffering from a lumbar disc herniation for a long time, contacted us. Her condition had caused numbness and tingling in her legs, along with increasing difficulty in movement, until she reached a point where she could no longer sit or stand up. She had consulted many doctors, but none gave her any real hope or chance of full recovery, which left her unconvinced. After reaching out to us, she came in for a medical examination with Dr. Kamran Aghayev, who reassured her that her condition was treatable, the operation would be easy, and she would be able to return to her normal life completely. Indeed, the surgery (TLIF) was performed successfully using bone grafting and titanium technology. The herniated disc was completely removed and replaced with a titanium cage and bone graft material to achieve spinal fusion. After one year, our patient returned in perfect health, engaging in all her activities normally and without any pain or issues. We wish her and all our patients continued health and wellness. #lumbarspine #lumbardischerniation

The young man underwent an arthroscopic procedure to remove the slipped disc using an endoscope. Unfortunately, the patient did not benefit from it, rather it increased his problems. After communicating with us, we explained to him the reason for his pain and the failure of his previous operation. After fully studying his case, Dr. Kamran Aghayev decided to perform bone grafting and titanium stents to stabilize the lumbar vertebrae. The operation was completed successfully, and from the second day of the operation, the patient felt stronger and better in his legs and returned to his normal life. We wish him and all our patients good health and wellness, and we thank them for their trust in us.

Thoracic outlet syndrome · Cervical disc herniation · Failed back surgery syndrome

A patient had suffered for more than 30 years, undiagnosed by many doctors, with four unsuccessful operations (three for cervical disc, one for thoracic outlet syndrome) and finally a spinal cord stimulator implanted to mask the pain. Dr. Aghayev performed three operations in one course: removing the stimulator and its spinal lead, redoing the cervical surgery with bone graft and titanium, and correctly performing the thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. Afterward she returned to normal life, free of pain and off the pain medications she had depended on.

Our patient came to us suffering from her disease for more than 30 years. She saw many doctors who were not successful in diagnosing her problems accurately. She underwent four wrong operations, three of which were for a herniated cervical disc and one for thoracic outlet syndrome, but she did not benefit from them, and after the doctors were unable to remove her pain, they decided to put a spinal cord stimulator on her as a last resort, as a solution to remove the pain, not a cure. Our patient, who had not benefited from any of the previous operations, came to us as a last resort after hearing about Dr. Kamran Aghayev. After conducting a complete diagnosis of the patient, it was decided to perform three operations on the patient at the same time. First, the pain-stimulating device and spinal cord were removed. Secondly, re-performing the neck operation using the bone grafting and titanium technique. Thirdly, performing the thoracic outlet syndrome operation correctly. After the operations, our patient returned to her normal life without any pain or symptoms, and she was eliminated from all addictive medications that she was taking on a daily basis to eliminate her pain. This case shows once again the extent of the impact of incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary surgeries on the patient's life. This case is considered one of the glaring cases that confirm that medicine is a responsibility before it is a profession. We wish her and all our patients a healthy day and thank them for their trust in us.

The lady came to us from Iraq. She had previously had a failed surgery (failed back syndrome), which led to unbearable pain and the inability to walk and sleep well, in addition to numbness in her legs. After coming to us and conducting a complete examination of the patient, it was found that there were screws incorrectly implanted in the spinal canal, in addition to screws being installed in vertebrae that did not require fixation, which also led to determining the patient’s movement. The decision was made to perform revision surgery on the patient using bone grafting and titanium screws (TLIF), removing the screws that were present in the spinal cord canal, and removing the screws that were restricting the patient’s movement. After the surgery, our patient's pain and numbness disappeared and she began to walk comfortably. We wish her and all our patients good health and wellness, and we thank them for their trust in us.

Dr. Jurgen, a cardiologist from Bulgaria, came with two problems, one thoracic and one lumbar, after two failed surgeries in Bulgaria had kept him from practicing for years. Dr. Aghayev planned two staged procedures: first the lumbar vertebrae, which markedly improved his pain, numbness, and tingling, then, a month later, the thoracic vertebrae. Both succeeded and he returned home in good health.

Cardiologist Dr. Jürgen came to us from Bulgaria, suffering from two issues; one involving the thoracic vertebrae and the other related to the lumbar vertebrae. He had previously undergone two surgeries in Bulgaria which unfortunately ended in failure. These prior experiences significantly impacted his ability to practice medicine for several years. After intensive research efforts, we arrived at a precise assessment of his condition and treatment needs. We were entrusted with the task of providing him with optimal care, which included the decision by Dr. Kamran Aghaev to perform two surgical procedures. The first procedure targeted the lumbar vertebrae, followed by the second intervention for the thoracic vertebrae. Dr. Jürgen opted to commence with the first intervention for the lumbar vertebrae, and this procedure was exceptionally successful. It witnessed marked improvement and the disappearance of troublesome symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling. This success prompted Dr. Jürgen to proceed with the second procedure targeting the thoracic vertebrae, one month after the initial surgery. Exceptional outcomes were also noted in this intervention. In the end, the patient was able to return to his homeland in sound health, completely free of any adverse effects. We extend our gratitude to our patients for placing their trust in us and wish everyone continued health and well-being.

Mrs. Haifa from Algeria reached out to us, detailing her condition after being involved in a past car accident that resulted in fractures in her thoracic vertebrae. This necessitated her immediate hospitalization and undergoing a surgical procedure for the stabilization of the vertebrae. After the surgery, signs of surgical complications began to surface in the patient. This was evidenced by the persistent pain in her back and legs, along with her experiencing a foot drop. Additionally, clear indications of curvature in the spinal column started to become apparent. Her complete medical file was comprehensively reviewed, and following an examination of the scans, a decision was made to carry out a corrective surgery for the initial procedure.
