Abstract

Penetrating thoracic trauma (PTT) rarely occurs indoors. We report a case of PTT which occurred as a result of the explosion of a lithium battery, which is commonly used in daily life. A 47-year-old male patient was admitted to our Emergency Service Department after a rechargeable lithium battery exploded in his hand as soon as he had taken it out of the charging apparatus. A foreign body was observed in the anterior chest wall and minimal bilateral pneumothorax was documented on computed tomography,. The foreign body was removed under local anesthesia and conservative therapy was applied. Our case, though rare, pointed out the possibility of the development of a lifethreatening PTT due to the explosion of a battery.

Özet

Penetran toraks travması (PTT) ev içi kazalarda nadiren gelişir. Bu yazıda günlük hayatta sıklıkla kullanılan lityum pilin patlaması sonucu oluşan PTT olgusu sunuldu. Kırk yedi yaşında erkek hasta şarj edilebilir lityum pili şarj cihazından aldığı sırada, elinde patlaması üzerine acil servisimize başvurdu. Yabancı cisim sol anterior toraks duvarında görüldü. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde iki taraflı minimal pnömotoraks saptandı. Yabancı cisim lokal anestezi ile çıkarıldı ve konservatif tedavi uygulandı. Ender karşılaşılsa da, bu olgu sunumunda pil patlaması sonucu hayatı tehdit eden PTT gelişebilme olasılığını vurgulamak istedik.
