M.D. Nejmıye Tunçay Reviews

A 28-year-old nomadic beekeeper from rural Cappadocia presented with chronic headaches. Dr. Tunçay's MRI revealed a rare pineal gland cyst compressing the cerebral aqueduct. The patient's migratory lifestyle complicated follow-up, but Dr. Tunçay coordinated with mobile health units along his honey route. After minimally invasive endoscopic surgery guided by her precise imaging, he returned to his apiaries with only seasonal monitoring required.

A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with severe Parkinson's tremor was scheduled for deep brain stimulation. Dr. Tunçay performed diffusion tensor imaging to map his white matter tracts with exceptional precision, avoiding areas critical for his fine motor memory of Arabic script. Post-procedure, his tremor reduced by 80% while he retained the delicate hand movements needed for his art, allowing him to teach again.

A 7-year-old Syrian refugee girl with complex congenital heart disease arrived at the emergency department cyanotic. Dr. Tunçay conducted an urgent cardiac CT angiography that revealed a previously undiagnosed anomalous pulmonary venous return. Her rapid, detailed imaging allowed pediatric surgeons to perform corrective surgery within hours. The girl, whose family had lost all medical records during displacement, made a full recovery.

A 45-year-old female marathon runner and single mother of three developed unexplained exertional dyspnea. Standard tests were normal, but Dr. Tunçay's high-resolution chest CT showed early-stage pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis. By catching it in its initial nodular phase, she enabled targeted treatment that preserved lung function. The patient gradually returned to running while managing her condition with inhaled therapy.
