In this study, it is aimed to discuss that should the life-threatening decision must be given just only according to the location of wound or should it be given according to the magnitude of damage?

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Gunshot wounds, towards to the head frequently ends with the fractures of the skull, brain hemorrhage and brain tissue damage.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Each of these three injury types cause life-threatening due to the Turkish Penal Code, and they are usually seen together.As known, there are three basic foramens associated with cranium; superior and inferior orbital fissure and the optic channel which the optic nerve passes through.In presented case, a 39 years old female patient who was shot with a pump rifle (a kind of gunshot type) from her face and one pellet which does not produce any bone fracture or neurological symptom while passing the orbital pit, is presented.This case was found interesting because; even though these kinds of wounds are inside the criteria of life-threatening, in our case, the pellet which passes through the orbital pit did not produce any bone fracture, neurological symptom or brain tissue damage.

Abstract

Gunshot wounds, towards to the head frequently ends with the fractures of the skull, brain hemorrhage and brain tissue damage. Each of these three injury types cause life-threatening due to the Turkish Penal Code, and they are usually seen together.As known, there are three basic foramens associated with cranium; superior and inferior orbital fissure and the optic channel which the optic nerve passes through.In presented case, a 39 years old female patient who was shot with a pump rifle (a kind of gunshot type) from her face and one pellet which does not produce any bone fracture or neurological symptom while passing the orbital pit, is presented.This case was found interesting because; even though these kinds of wounds are inside the criteria of life-threatening, in our case, the pellet which passes through the orbital pit did not produce any bone fracture, neurological symptom or brain tissue damage. In this study, it is aimed to discuss that should the life-threatening decision must be given just only according to the location of wound or should it be given according to the magnitude of damage?

Özet

Kafa bölgesine yönelik ateşli silah yaralanmaları sonucunda genellikle kafatası kemiklerinde kırık, beyin kanaması ve beyin doku hasarı meydana gelmektedir. Türk Ceza Kanunu'na (TCK) göre her biri tek başına yaşamsal tehlikeye neden olan bu üç yaralanma genelde birlikte bulunur. Bilindiği üzere orbitada kraniumla iştirakli; süperior ve inferior orbital fissür ve de optik sinirin geçtiği optik kanal olmak üzere 3 esas foramen vardır. Bu çalışmada, ateşli silah çeşitlerinden biri olan pompalı tüfekle yüz bölgesinden yaralanan ve bir adet saçma tanesinin orbita çukurunu kemik kırığı olmaksızın geçerek herhangi bir nörolojik semptom oluşturmaksızın beyin dokusunda kalan 39 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunulmuştur.Olgu, saçma tanesinin orbita çukurundan kemik kırığına neden olmadan ilerleyerek beyin dokusuna isabet etmesine rağmen nörolojik bir semptom oluşturmaması fakat yaralanmanın vasıf olarak yaşamsal tehlikeye neden olan kriterler arasında olması açısından ilginç bulunmuş ve tehlike kriterinin belirlenmesinde; travmanın sadece lokasyonuna göre mi yoksa oluşturduğu hasara göre mi karar verilmesi gerektiği konusunu tartışmaya açmak amacı ile sunulmuştur.
