A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Antalya presented with recurrent episodes of severe abdominal pain and syncope during deep dives. Dr. Sümer discovered a rare case of mesenteric artery vasospasm triggered by extreme breath-holding and cold water immersion. Treatment involved calcium channel blockers and a modified diving protocol, allowing the patient to return to competition with monitoring.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with Parkinson's disease developed progressive dysphagia and weight loss. Endoscopy revealed eosinophilic esophagitis, but Dr. Sümer identified the unique trigger: the patient's lifelong habit of licking traditional gum arabic-based inks while working. Elimination of this exposure combined with swallowed budesonide resulted in dramatic improvement.
A 19-year-old university student from a low-income family presented with chronic diarrhea and malnutrition. Extensive testing was negative until Dr. Sümer learned she worked nights at a textile factory and survived on donated expired packaged foods. He diagnosed a rare combination of sorbitol intolerance and industrial chemical exposure, creating a tailored dietary plan using hospital kitchen surplus.
A 45-year-old Syrian refugee and former pharmacist presented with upper GI bleeding. Endoscopy showed gastric ulcers, but Dr. Sümer discovered the cause was homemade 'war medication' - crushed aspirin mixed with herbs - taken for phantom limb pain after losing an arm. Treatment involved pain management alternatives and community support through a refugee health program.
