Abstract

Because of lack of legal regulations and to be known as harmless, serious injuries can be presented to emergency departments due to blank cartridges that can be easily bought by adults. Ten year old male patient was brought to emergency department two hours ago due injury by blank cartridge bullet. On the back of the patient there was a hole with regular margins probably due to gunshot injury. On the chest x-ray there was a bullet expulsive just 1 cm lateral to 7th thoracic vertebra on the right. Contrast enhanced thorax tomography confirmed a bullet expulsive on one cm right of 7th and 8th thoracic vertebra. After the operation he was discharged on the fourth day with well being.

Özet

Zararsız olduğuna inanılması ve ilgili yasal kuralların bulunmaması nedeniyle erişkinler tarafından kolayca satın alınabilen kurusıkı tabancalara bağlı ciddi yaralanmalarla acil servislere başvurular olabilmektedir. On yaşında erkek hasta 2 saat önce kuru sıkı tabanca mermisi ile yaralanma sonrasında acil servise getirildi. Sırt bölgesinde bir adet düzgün sınırlı muhtemel ateşli silah yaralanmasına bağlı delik mevcuttu. Hastanın akciğer grafisinde torakal 7. vertebranın 1 cm sağ lateralinde 1 adet mermi kovanı izlendi. Kontrastlı toraks tomografisinde sağ akciğer parankiminde kontüzyon, 7-8. torakal vertebranın sağında 1 adet mermi kovanı teyit edildi. Hasta operasyondan 4 gün sonra şifa ile taburcu edildi.
