Abstract

Materials, mainly sponges, used in operations related to the treatment of chest and cardiovascular diseases may, even though rarely, be forgotten within the thoracic cavity. A fifty nine year-old male patient was admitted to the department of chest diseases with complaints of increasing thoracal pain, headache, and hypo/hypertensive attacks of three months’ duration The direct chest xray showed an increase in shadow density on the left paracardiac area. In the computerized thorax tomography, a mass 5x5 cm in size was established in the same area. For diagnostic and therapeutic puposes, a posterolateral thoracotomy was performed on the patient who had undergone a by-pass operation in another hospital one year previously. Observation during the surgery revealed a firm mass located on the aortic isthmus adhering to the visceral and mediastinal pleura, and to the aorta below. When the mass was separated from adjacent tissues by blunt and sharp dissections, pus drained out of the mass and a sponge appeared. The foreign body was extracted and the thorax closed.

Özet

Göğüs ve kalp-damar hastalıklarının tedavisine yönelik ameliyatlardan sonra oldukça ender de olsa toraks boşluğunda başta sponge olmak üzere ameliyatta kullanılan malzemelerin yanılışlıkla unutulması söz konusu olabilmektedir. Olgumuz elli dokuz yaşında erkek hasta 3 aydan beri artan göğüs ağrısı, baş ağrısı ve hipo-hipertansiyon atakları ile göğüs hastalıkları kliniğine başvurdu. Çekilen direk grafisinde sol parakardiak alanda gölge koyuluğunda artma mevcuttu. Bilgisayarlı toraks tomografisinde sol üst anterior mediastende, parakardiak alanda 5x5 cm boyutlarında kitle lezyon tespit edildi. Bir yıl önce bir hastanede by-pass ameliyatı olan hastaya tanı ve tedavi amacıyla posterolateral torakotomi uygulandı. Ameliyat sırasında yapılan gözlemde aort istmusu üzerine yerleşmiş, viseral ve mediastinal plevraya, alttan da aortaya yapışık sert bir kitle tespit edildi. Kitle künt ve keskin diseksiyonlarla etraf dokulardan ayrılırken içinden iltihap boşaldı ve sponge ortaya çıktı. Yabancı cisim çıkarıldı ve toraks kapatıldı.
