Abstract

In cases with upper thoracal and cervical spine injury, it is difficult to distinguish fever based on autonomic dysfunction from that with infectious causes. Fever can be associated with autonomic dysfunction by eliminating all possible causes, primarily infectious and noninfectious diseases. We present a case with fever of unknown origin after cervical spine injury to call attention to autonomic dysfunction in the etiology of fever in such cases.

Özet

Üst torakal ve servikal vertebra yaralanması gelişen olgularda otonomik disfonksiyona bağlı olarak gelişen ateş, infeksiyöz tablolardan ayrılması zor bir klinik tablodur. Ateşin bu etyolojiye bağlanabilmesi, başta infeksiyöz hastalıklar olmak üzere diğer tüm nedenlerin dışlanmasıyla olmaktadır. Kliniğimizde servikal vertebra travması sonrası nedeni bilinmeyen ateş ile izlediğimiz bir olgu sunularak, bu grup hastalarda ateş etyolojisinde noninfeksiyöz sebepler arasında otonomik disfonksiyona dikkat çekilmesi hedeflenmiştir.
