Abstract

In parallel with technological developments, small size but strong magnets are commonly used in modern devices. In terms of foreign body injuries, magnet injuries are quite rare. However, due to their unique characteristics, there are some difficulties in their management. The magnetic field generated by the magnet affects the surgical instruments and make treatment difficult. In this case report, a nasal injury due to neodymium magnet and our alternative approach for its management was reported.

Özet

Teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak, küçük boyutlu ancak güçlü mıknatıslar günümüz cihazlarında sıkça kullanılmaktadır. Yabancı cisim yaralanmaları arasında oldukça ender olarak görülen mıknatıs yaralanmaları kendilerine has özellikleri nedeniyle tedavilerinde bazı zorluklar içerirler. Mıknatısın oluşturduğu manyetik alanın cerrahi enstrümanları etkilemesi ve müdahaleyi güçleştirmesi bu zorlukların en önemlilerinden bir tanesidir. Bu olgu sunumunda ender olarak karşılaşılan neodyum mıknatıs yaralanması sonucunda nazal bölgesinde hasar oluşan bir hasta ile mıknatısın çıkarılması esnasında karşılaşılan güçlük ve bunun aşılmasında kullanılan alternatif yaklaşımımız sunulmaktadır.
