Abstract

Bullet injuries to the thorax are observed frequently. When the radiographic location of the bullet does not correlate with the expected trajectory, a possible bullet embolism should be considered. In this article, we present a 39-year-old male patient who suffered a gunshot to his back. Patient's hemopneumothorax was treated with tube thoracostomy; however, the bullet was found to have migrated to the retroperitoneum without an overt mediastinal, diaphragmatic, or abdominal visceral organ injury. Angiography demonstrated no vascular embolism. The exact mechanism for the bullet to reach to the retroperitoneum was unknown, but a possible presence of a Bochdalek's triangle was suspected.

Özet

Toraksta kurşun yaralanmaları sık görülür. Kurşunun radyolojik konumu izlemesi beklenen yol ile uyuşmadığında, kurşun embolisi olasılığı dikkate alınmalıdır. Bu yazıda sırtından vurulan 39 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Hastanın hemopnömotoraksı tüp torakostomi ile tedavi edildi, ancak kurşunun hiçbir belirgin mediyasten, diyafram veya batın iç organ hasarı yaratmadan retroperitona göç ettiği saptandı. Anjiyografide damarsal emboli görülmedi. Kurşunun retroperitona ne şekilde ulaştığı kesin olarak bilinmemekle birlikte, olası bir Bochdalek üçgeni varlığından şüphelenildi.
