Abstract

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common, potentially fatal condition that clinicians have difficulty in diagnosis. Diagnosis should be made by combination of symptoms, signs, scintigraphic and radiological features. Here we report a case of diaphragmatic paralysis who was admitted with dyspnea, chest pain and was investigated for PE. In this report we reviewed the difficulties of clinical and radiological features of PE and their importance in the differential diagnosis of PE.

Özet

Pulmoner embolizm (PE) sık görülen, tanısı güç konulabilen, mortalitesi yüksek bir hastalıktır. Tanı, klinik kuşku bulunduğunda, uyumlu sintigrafik bulgular ve bazen de radyolojik incelemelerin yardımıyla konulmalıdır. Bu yazıda, göğüs ağrısı ve nefes darlığı ile başvuran, öncelikle PE açısından incelenen bir diyafram paralizisi olgusu sunulmaktadır. PE'nin klinik ve radyolojik özelliklerindeki zorluklar ve bunların PE ayırıcı tanısındaki yeri de tartışılmaktadır.
