Abstract

Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) has been reported as an adult phenomenon. Whiplash injury has classically been described as a cervical soft tissue hyperextension- flexion injury after a trauma such as a rear end impact car crash, contact sport injuries, blows to the head from a falling object or a punch and shaken baby syndrome and is mostly seen in adults . It is important as it may cause severe disability due to spinal cord injury, decrease work productivity and even retropharyngeal hematoma resulting airway obstruction and mortality due to bleeding amongst deep cervical fascias. We describe a case of retropharyngeal hematoma after whiplash injury in a childhood.

Özet

Whiplasha bağlı rahatsızlıklar yetişkinlerde görülen bir fenomen olarak bildirilmektedir. Whiplash klasik olarak arkadan çarpma şeklindeki araba kazaları, kontak spor yaralanmaları, kafaya cisim düşmesi veya yumruk atılması ve sarsılmış bebek sendromu sonrasında servikal yumuşak dokunun hiperekstansiyon ve hiperfleksiyon yaralanması şeklinde tanımlanmıştır ve çoğunlukla erişkinlerde görülür. Spinal kord yaralanması yoluyla ciddi sakatlığa, iş verimliliğinde azalmaya, hatta derin servikal faysalar arasına kanama yoluyla hava yolu obsrüksiyonu ve ölümle sonuçlanan retrofarengeal hematoma neden olabilmesinden dolayı önemlidir. Biz çocukta whiplash yaralanma sonrası retrofarengeal hematom vakası sunuyoruz.
