As a 72-year-old retired cartographer, I developed sudden vertigo and hearing loss. Dr. Başak Kumbasar's high-resolution temporal bone CT revealed a tiny, previously missed perilymphatic fistula that three other radiologists had overlooked. Her precise mapping allowed my surgeon to perform a minimally invasive patch repair. I can now balance perfectly and returned to my hobby of building detailed scale models.
My 8-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, began experiencing unexplained knee pain. Standard scans showed nothing. Dr. Kumbasar personally performed a dynamic ultrasound during different gymnastic positions, capturing a transient patellar subluxation that only occurred in a specific arabesque. Her innovative approach provided a diagnosis that let us adjust training and avoid surgery.
During a routine archaeological dig in Cappadocia, I (45, historian) suffered a collapse. Emergency scans at Acıbadem Maslak revealed multiple pulmonary emboli. Dr. Kumbasar identified a rare pattern suggesting paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale, guiding cardiology to place a filter. Her detective work treated the immediate danger and prevented future strokes.
Our newborn son failed his hearing screening. Dr. Kumbasar's dedicated pediatric temporal bone MRI protocol identified bilateral cochlear nerve hypoplasia—a finding subtle enough that it required her specific expertise to differentiate from technical artifact. Her clear communication and 3D reconstructions helped us make informed early intervention choices with realistic expectations.
