Abstract

Subcutaneous emphysema in the extremities is usually secondary to serious infections with gas- forming bacteria. In addition, high-pressure gas or liquid injection has been well documented to result in soft tissue gas in the literature. The differential diagnosis of the two situations is of great importance, since their treatments are completely differrent. In the current study, we present a case resulting from high-pressure liquid patrol gas injection. In a number of clinics which he referred , he had received a variety of treatment proposals including amputation. However, complete recovery was achieved with simple careful observation.

Özet

Ekstremitelerde subkutan amfizem genellikle gaz üreten bakterilerle meydana gelen ciddi infeksiyonların bir sonucu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, basınçlı gaz veya sıvı enjeksiyonlarına bağlı olduğu da literatürde bildirilmiştir, ikisinin ayırıcı tanısı oldukça önemlidir, çünkü tedavileri oldukça farklıdır. Biz bu çalışmada likid petrol gazı enjeksiyonu sonrasında meydana gelen bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Değişik kliniklere başvuran hastaya amputasyona kadar varan önerilerde bulunulmuş ve daha sonra hasta yakın takiple tamamen iyileşmiştir.
