After about eight hours he died suddenly during nasogastric catheter application. In the autopsy, blunt head trauma injuries, profuse bleeding in neck and mediastinum, 1700 cc blood in the chest cavity, total rupture of the thoracic aorta just distal to the origin of subclavian artery and fracture of left femoral diaphysis with a large hematoma around it were seen.

Özet

Kunt toraks travmalarında, aortta travmatik rüptür meydana gelebilir. İncelenen olgu, araç içi trafik kazası sonucu yaralanma nedeniyle hastanemize getirilmiş; yaklaşık sekiz saat sonra nazogastrik sonda takılması sırasında ölmüştür. Otopside, kafa travması bulgularına ek olarak, boyun ve mediasten yumuşak dokularında yaygın kanama, her iki göğüs boşluğunda toplam 1700 cc serbest kan, aortta subklavian arterin 2.5 cm altında, tam ayrılma tarzında rüptür, sol femur diafizinde parçalı kırık ve etrafında hematom bulunduğu belirlendi. Bu olgu ışığında, kunt toraks travmalarında aort yaralanmalarının da oluşabileceğine dikkat çekilmiştir.
