Abstract

Chest trauma, an important cause of morbidity and mortality, is the second most common cause of death in children under four years of age. Due to the different anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system in childhood, the injuries and consequences of chest trauma are also dissimilar. A seven-month-old male infant presented to the emergency clinic with cyanosis and respiratory distress. His medical history revealed that he had been found trapped behind his bed in a cyanotic state two hours earlier. Although physical examination revealed no signs of trauma, respiratory distress and hemorrhagic secretions indicated pulmonary hemorrhage or contusion. This preliminary diagnosis was confirmed by thoracic tomography. There was complete recovery following 48-hour oxygen and medical treatment. Even after mild injuries, the fact that severe pulmonary hemorrhages and contusions may develop without a trace of trauma should be kept in mind.

Özet

Önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite neden olan göğüs travması dört yaşından küçük çocuklarda en sık ikinci ölüm nedenidir. Çocukların solunum sistemi, anatomik ve fizyolojik olarak erişkinlerden farklı olduğundan dolayı yaralanmalar ve sonuçları da farklıdır. Yedi aylık erkek hasta, morarma ve solunum sıkıntısı ile acile getirildi. Anamnezinden 2 saat önce yatakla duvar arasında morarmış olarak bulunduğu öğrenildi.Yapılan fizik muayenede dıştan bir travma izi olmamasına rağmen, solunum sıkıntısı ve hemorajik sekresyon pulmoner hemoraji ve/veya kontüzyonu düşündürdüğünden acil toraks tomografisi yapılan hastada tanı kesinleştirilerek tedaviye alındı. 48 saatlik oksijen ve medikal tedavi ile tamamen iyileşti. Hafif tarvmalardan sonra bile, travma izi olmaksızın ağır pulmoner hemoraji ve kontüzyon gelişebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
