Abstract

Bleeding into the pericardial sacmay occur from the surface or thecavities of the heart, or from theintrapericardial segments of theroots of great vessels, particularlythe aorta and pulmonary artery.In most cases, the cause ofhemoperikardium is a naturaldisease such as a rupturedmyocardial infarct or a ruptureddissecting aneurysm of the aortabut it is also a sequel to the traumaof the chest.Methods:Retrospective analysis of autopsyrecords of the Council of ForensicMedicine between the years2004–2006 revealed 117 fatalitiesresulting from cardiac tamponade.Results:Of the cases 87 (74.36 %) weremales and 30 females (25.64 %).The preponderance of male caseswas prominent in both naturaland traumatic death cases butwas significantly apparent intraumatic cases. The origin of thehemopericardium was naturaldisease in 69 (58.97 %) of total117 cases. In 48 (41.01 %) casesit was resulted from trauma.Localization of the rupture intamponade cases showed thefollowing distribution: the mostfrequent site of rupture in naturaldeath cases was left ventricle (20;28.98 %), in traumatic cases itwas right ventricle (28; 58.33 %).Volume of blood in pericardial sacranged between 350 and 1300 cc.Conclusion:In cases of stab wounds andgunshot fatalities the localizationsof the wounds leading to injury intarget organs were detected to beat left side of the chest in 79 % ofthe cases

Özet

Perikard kesesi içine kanamakalp boşlukları ya da özellikleaort ve pulmoner arter gibi bü-yük damarların intraperikardialsegmenti kaynaklıdır. Çoğu olgudahemoperikardium, rüptüremyokard enfarktı ya da rüptüredissekan aort anevrizması gibidoğal hastalık kanama kayna-ğı olarak saptanmaktadır, fakatgöğüs bölgesine yönelik travmanınsonucu olarak da tamponadsonucu ölümler otopsilerde tespitedilmektedir.Yöntemler:Adli Tıp Kurumu Morg İhtisasDairesi'nin 2004-2006 yıllarıarasını kapsayan 3 yıllık dönemeait otopsi kayıtlarının retrospektifanalizinde kalp tamponadıkaynaklı toplam 117 ölüm olgususaptanmıştır.Bulgular:Olguların 87'si (% 74.36) erkek,30'u (% 25.64) kadın olup, erkekolguların baskınlığı doğalve travmatik kökenli tamponadgruplarının ikisinde de belirlenmiştir.Travmatik kökenlitamponad kaynaklı ölüm olgularındaerkek baskınlığı dahabelirgindir. Toplam 117 olgunun69'unda (%58.97) hemoperikardiumorijini doğal hastalık olup,48 (% 41.01) olguda orijin travmaolarak belirlenmiştir. Tamponadolgularında rüptür lokalizasyonunundağılımı incelendiğinde;doğal hastalık kaynaklı olgulardaen sık lokalizasyonun solventrikül (20; % 28.98) oldu-ğu, travmatik olgularda ise sağventrikül olduğu belirlenmiştir(28; % 58.33). Perikard kesesiiçinde kan volümü 350-1300 ccarasında değişim göstermiştir.Sonuç:Ateşli silah ve kesici-delici aletyaralanması kaynaklı ölüm olgularındahedef organda yaralanmayaneden olan yaralarınlokalizasyonunun olguların %79'unda göğüsün sol tarafı oldu-ğu belirlenmiştir
