Abstract

Acute mediastinitis, which is characterized by inflammation of thoracic tissues, is a life-threatening infection and a surgical emergency. The mortality rate for this ailment is reported between 14-42%, which makes it important to diagnose and treat as soon as possible. We presented and discussed a case of a 38-year-old male patient with blunt trauma to the chest and back from falling who reported to the emergency department after 26 days with severe chest pain and a toxic condition. He underwent an anterolateral thoracotomy and several rounds of pleural flushing; ultimately, he survived.

Özet

Akut mediastinit, torasik dokuların iltihabı olarak, hayatı tehdit eden bir enfeksiyon ve cerrahi acildir. Ölüm oranı %14 ile 42 arasında bildirilmektedir. Akut mediastinitin en kısa zamanda tanınması ve tedavi edilmesi önemlidir. Bu yazıda, düşmeye bağlı künt göğüs ve sırt travması olan ve 26 gün sonra acil servise ciddi göğüs ağrısı ve toksik durumda başvuran 38 yaşında erkek olguyu sunduk ve tartıştık. Hastaya anterolateral torakotomi ve birkaç kez plevral yıkama yapıldı ve sonuçta hasta hayatta kalabildi.
