Abstract :Aim: This study aims to determine whether Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic Fever insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CCHF); has effects on abdominal vascular structures. Material and Method: The study group included 35 patients diagnosed with CCHF. The control group included 35 patients with symptoms such as dyspepsia, pelvic pain, and abdominal pain who underwent multidetector computed tomography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MDCT); and whose MDCT examinations were reported as completely normal. This is a retrospective study and patients admitted to the hospital between May 2016 and April 2022 were included in the study. The patient group and control group were compared in terms of liver size, splenic size, and portal vein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PV);, hepatic artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HA);, splenic vein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SV);, splenic artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SA);, superior mesenteric vein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SMV); and superior mesenteric artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SMA); diameters. Results: The liver size, splenic size, and PV, HA, and SA diameters in the patient group were significantly higher than those in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p 0.05);. Conclusion: Our study shows that abdominal vascular structures are affected in CCHF patients.
