Abstract

In the present case, we report a case of diaphragm paralysis presented with peptic ulcer perforation. A 32-yearold male patient admitted to the emergency service with complaints of dyspnea and flatulence in stomach. Even though it is not difficult to diagnose the peptic ulcer perforation, the diagnosis process was delayed because of the challenges in abdominal examination and chest X-ray secondary to the diaphragm paralysis. It should be considered that the chronicle problems complicating the patient evaluation may cause difficulties in determining the acute pathology.

Özet

Nefes darlığı ve midede şişlik şikayeti ile müracaat eden olguda diyafragma paralizisine bağlı peptik ülser perforasyonu tablosunda yaşanan zorluklar sunuldu. Peptik ülser tanısı sıklıkla kolay konulur. Sunulan olguda fizik muayene ve radyolojik tetkiklere ait sıra dışı pozisyonel durumlar klinik tabloya yaklaşımında karışıklıklara neden oldu. Bu durum . özellikle kronik hastalıklara ait pozisyonel durumların acil cerrahi gerektiren patolojilerde klinik tanıyı zorlaştırabileceği düşüncesini doğurmaktadır.
