M.D. Evrim Abamor Reviews

A 28-year-old female competitive freediver from Antalya presented with unexplained episodes of transient confusion and visual disturbances following deep dives. Conventional neurology workup was normal. Dr. Abamor performed a cerebral perfusion SPECT scan with a custom protocol simulating post-dive conditions, revealing a unique pattern of reversible temporal lobe hypoperfusion triggered by rapid pressure changes. The findings led to a new safety protocol for her training and prevented a potential career-ending injury.

A 72-year-old retired shipyard welder from Tuzla presented with progressive, debilitating bone pain. Multiple X-rays and MRIs were inconclusive. Dr. Abamor ordered a whole-body F-18 NaF PET/CT scan, which identified rare, multifocal skeletal fluorosis from decades of inhaling fluoride-containing fumes—a diagnosis missed for years. Treatment involved specialized chelation therapy and pain management, significantly improving his mobility.

A 9-year-old boy with a complex history of congenital heart disease and multiple surgeries presented with persistent, unexplained fevers. Blood cultures were repeatedly negative. Dr. Abamor performed a Ga-68 labeled white blood cell PET/CT, pinpointing a tiny, hidden focus of infection around a prosthetic valve suture line that echocardiography couldn't visualize. This allowed for targeted antibiotic therapy, avoiding another high-risk surgery.

A 45-year-old successful tech entrepreneur from Istanbul presented with severe, episodic hypertension and panic attacks. Endocrine testing suggested a possible pheochromocytoma, but anatomical imaging found nothing. Dr. Abamor conducted an I-123 MIBG SPECT/CT, which localized a minuscule extra-adrenal paraganglioma nestled between the renal artery and vein. Robotic surgery successfully removed it, curing his condition.
