Abstract

Penetrating landmine injuries are the unavoidable consequences of military conflicts. They are potentially lifethreatening. The mortality rates in the literature range from 23% to 92% and are considerably higher in patients admitted with poor neurologic state. Penetrating craniocerebral injuries require early surgical management designated to prevent infection and remove foreign objects, necrotic tissue and complicating blood clots, as well as to minimalize post-traumatic sequelae. We report herein an interesting case of penetrating intracerebral injury with giant shrapnel due to landmine in a 20-year-old young man.

Özet

Penetran mayın yaralanmaları askeri çarpışmaların kaçınılmaz sonuçlarındandır. Hayatı tehdit edici potansiyelleri vardır. Literatürde mortalite oranı %23 ile %92 arasında değişmekte ve ağır nörolojik tablo ile getirilen hastalarda bu oran daha yüksektir. Penetran kafa travmalarında, oluşabilecek travma sonrası sekeli azaltabilmek amacıyla yabancı cisimleri, nekrotik beyin dokusunu, pıhtılaşmış kanamayı çıkartmak ve enfeksiyon riskinden korumak amacıyla erken cerrahi girişim gereklidir. Bu yazıda, mayın patlaması sonucu büyük şarapnel parçasıyla yaralanan 20 yaşında bir olgu sunuldu.
