Prof. M.D. Uygur Er

A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master, Mr. Demir, presented with progressive hand tremors that threatened his life's work. Dr. Er discovered a rare, slow-growing meningioma compressing his motor cortex. Using awake craniotomy with intraoperative brain mapping, Dr. Er removed the tumor while Mr. Demir practiced brush strokes, preserving his artistic precision. The patient returned to teaching calligraphy workshops within three months.

Elif, a 17-year-old competitive freediver from Antalya, developed unexplained seizures after deep dives. Imaging revealed a previously undiagnosed arteriovenous malformation (AVM) near her temporal lobe. Dr. Er performed staged embolization followed by microsurgical resection, coordinating with hyperbaric medicine specialists. Elif returned to competitive diving nine months later with modified depth limits and seizure-free.

Mr. Kaya, a 45-year-old nomadic beekeeper traveling between seasonal pastures, presented with worsening headaches and vision changes. Mobile MRI screening revealed a pituitary macroadenoma. Dr. Er designed a single-hospitalization protocol combining endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery with immediate post-op care, accommodating the patient's migratory lifestyle. Mr. Kaya resumed beekeeping routes within six weeks with quarterly telemedicine follow-ups.

A 28-year-old professional chess player, Cem, developed sudden cognitive fog and memory lapses during tournaments. Advanced imaging showed a cryptic cavernous malformation in his thalamus. Dr. Er utilized robotic-assisted stereotactic laser ablation with real-time neurocognitive testing, preserving strategic thinking patterns. Cem returned to international competition after five months with enhanced concentration.
