Abstract

Traumatic diaphragma ruptures may be misdiagnosed, thus may cause serious problem even years after the initial presentation. The complications are more common if the rupture occurs on the left diaphragma. Sometimes the herniation of hollow organs may cause strangulation or perforation and may be life-threatening. In this report, a 50-year old male, who had a traffic accident 5 years prior to presentation to our emergency service, with intestinal obstruction underwent laparatomy is presented. A 7 cm long rupture on the left diaphragma was observed and repaired after the resection of strangulated transverse colon. We conclude that diaphragma ruptures may cause herniation of abdominal organs and intestinal obstruction, thus should be repaired when diagnosed.

Özet

Travmatik diafragma rüptürü gözden kaçması halinde yıllar sonra ciddi problemlere neden olabilir. Komplikasyonlar sol diafragma rüptürlerinde daha sıktır. İçi boş organ fıtıklaşmalan strangülasyon ya da perforasyona neden olur ve hayatı tehdit edebilirler. Bu çalışmada, trafik kazası geçirdikten 5 yıl sonra acil servisimize başvurup barsak tıkanıklığı nedeniyle laparatomi yapılan 50 yaşındaki erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Hastada sol diafragmada 7 cm.lik yaralanma görülerek, strangülc transvers kolon rezeksiyonu yapılarak tamir edilmiştir. Diafragma rüptürlerinin karın içi organların fıtıklaşmaları ya da mekanik intestinal obstrüksiyon nedeni olabileceğini, tanındığında zaman geçirmeden öpere edilmesi gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
