A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Bodrum presented with recurrent, severe abdominal pain exclusively during deep dives. Dr. Saruç discovered a rare case of mesenteric artery compression exacerbated by extreme pressure changes. He coordinated with hyperbaric medicine specialists to design a conservative management plan involving pre-dive protocols and diaphragmatic strengthening, allowing the athlete to continue her career with monitored depth restrictions.
A 72-year-old retired Byzantine art restorer, living alone in a historic Istanbul neighborhood, was admitted with unexplained weight loss and jaundice. His complex history included long-term exposure to ancient pigments and solvents. Dr. Saruç identified a rare sclerosing cholangitis variant possibly linked to chemical exposure. Treatment involved a multidisciplinary approach with occupational medicine, resulting in stabilized liver function through targeted immunosuppression and environmental modifications.
A 19-year-old university exchange student from Nigeria developed sudden, severe dysphagia after accidentally swallowing a traditional prayer bead. Dr. Saruç performed an urgent endoscopy, finding the bead lodged in a previously undiagnosed esophageal web. He removed the foreign body and dilated the web, then discovered underlying eosinophilic esophagitis through biopsy, initiating dietary modification therapy that resolved her lifelong swallowing difficulties.
A 41-year-old transgender woman undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy presented with persistent, atypical upper GI symptoms. Other gastroenterologists had dismissed her concerns. Dr. Saruç investigated thoroughly and diagnosed gastroparesis uniquely exacerbated by her specific hormonal regimen. He collaborated with her endocrinologist to adjust her therapy while implementing a novel prokinetic treatment plan, dramatically improving her quality of life.
