Abstract

Thorax injuries account for about 25 % of trauma related death cases. Pneumothorax is the second most frequent thorax injury and is often overlooked. The chest radiography performed in the supine position in blunt injuries shows difficulty to some extent in the diagnosis of anterior pneumothorax. The computerized tomography is superior to routine x-ray techniques in the diagnosis of thorax injuries, lung contusions, pneumothorax and hemothorax in patients with blunt trauma. Spinal cord trauma is often seen as a multisystem trauma after high energy traumas. The early diagnosis of injuries of other systems are overlooked because of the resuscitation of vital functions. As seen in this case; while dealing with other life threatening problems, serious injuries such as spinal cord trauma and pneumothorax are overlooked in multitrauma cases.

Özet

Travmaya bağlı ölümlerin % 25'i toraks yaralanmalarından oluşmaktadır. Pnömotoraks ikinci en sık karşılaşılan toraks yaralanması olup sıklıkla gözden kaçmaktadır. Künt travmalı olgularda supin pozisyonda çekilen toraks grafisi anterior pnömotoraksın tanısında güçlüğe neden olabilmektedir. Künt toraks travmalı olgularda toraks yaralanmalarının tanısında ve akciğer kontüzyonları ile pnömotoraks ve hemotoraksın gösterilmesinde bilgisayarlı tomografi rutin X-Ray tekniklerine göre oldukça üstündür. Spinal kord travması sıklıkla yüksek enerjili travmalardan sonra birden fazla sistemin travmasıyla birlikte görülmektedir. Vital fonksiyonların resüssitasyonu nedeniyle diğer yaralanmaların erken tanısı gözden kaçabilmektedir. Bu olguda olduğu gibi multi travmalılarda yaşamı tehdit edici diğer problemlerle uğraşılırken medulla spinalis yaralanması ve pnömotoraks gibi ciddi yaralanmalar gözden kaçabilmektedir.
