Abstract

Rising firearms brutality has been causing much more public worry in Turkey. Gunshot wounds to the head have become main cause of death and permanent neurologic disabilities. Computed tomography scans are gold standard of imaging for the gunshot wounds to the head. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores of more than 8 or brain lesions limited to a single lobe of the brain can benefit from early surgery. Mortality rates in the literature differ from 23% to 92% and are significantly higher in patients admitted in a poor neurologic status. The doctors who faced the victims in emergency rooms must take additional active role in formulating and maintaining new public health policies which aims to reduce prevalence of gunshot injuries.In this paper we report a case in which the victim is an eight year old boy that had complete recovery after having gunshot wound to the head.

Özet

Artan ateşli silahla şiddet olayları Türkiye’de halkda korku yaratmaktadır. Kranial ateşli silah yaralanmaları ölümlerin ve kalıcı nörolojik hasarların önemli bir nedenidir. Bu yaralanmalarda seçilecek görüntüleme yöntemi bilgisayarlı tomografidir. Glosgow koma skoru 8’den fazla olanlar ve lezyon tek lobda sınırlı ise hastalar erken cerrahiden fayda görebilirler. Literatürde ölüm oranı %23-%92 arasındadır ve bu oran kötü nörolojik durumda başvuranlarda belirgin daha fazladır. Acil servislerde bu kurbanlarla karşılaşan doktorlar ateşli silah yaralanmasının önlenmesinde ve yeni halk sağlığı politikalarının belirlenmesinde aktif rol almalıdırlar. Bu vaka bildiriminde başından yaralanmış 8 yaşındaki çocuğun operasyon sonrası tam iyilemesi bildirilmiştir.
