Abstract

Simple rib fractures are the most common injury sustained following blunt chest trauma. These fractures are rarely life-threatening in themselves but can be an external marker of more severe visceral injury inside the abdomen and the chest. Cough-induced rib fractures occur primarly in women with chronic cough. Middle ribs along the lateral aspect of the rib cage are affected most commonly. Although reduced bone density is likely a risk factor, cough-induced rib fractures can occur in the presence of normal bone density. Here, we report a case of a patient with stress fractures of the rib induced by coughing.

Özet

Basit kaburga kırıklarının en sık sebebi göğüs kafesine alınan künt travmalardır. Bu kırıklar kendi başlarına nadir olarak hayati tehlike oluştururken karın ve göğüs kafesi içindeki organların daha ağır yaralanmasının dış göstergeleri olabilirler. Öksürük ile ilişkili kaburga kırığı birincil olarak kronik öksürük yakınması olan kadınlarda görülmektedir. Göğüs kafesinin orta yan kısmını oluş-turan kaburgalar sıklıkla etkilenen bölgelerdir. Azalmış kemik dansitesi risk oluştursa da, öksürük ile ilişkili kaburga kırıkları genellikle normal kemik dansitesi zemi-ninde oluşmaktadır. Bu yazıda öksürük sonucu kabur-gada stres kırığı gelişen vakayı bildirdik.
