Abstract

Abstract Objective: In this study, to evaluate the incidence and prevalence and clinical significance of incidental findings detected in the CCT brought to the Emergency Department and taken due to trauma, it is aimed to discuss the way that emergency physicians should follow for these findings. Material-Method: Hospital data and PACS records of 1100 patients with traumatic etiology of 2399 patients who underwent CCT in the ED were retrospectively analyzed. Results: 755 (68.6%) of the patients were male. The average age was 21.69 ± 19.58 (0-101), and the age groups was observed with 422 (38.4%) patients under the age of 10. Reasons of visit were falling (50.1%), traffic accident (19.0%), head trauma (18.9%), assault (10.4%) and occupational accident (1.6%). At least one incidental finding was observed in 22.3% of the patients and it was found that 29 of these patients had a second and 4 of them had a third incidental finding. Sinusitis (115; 10.4%), nasopharyngeal adenoid hypertrophy (35; 3.1%), sinus retention cyst (32; 2.9%) and upper respiratory tract anatomical disorder (27; 2.4%) have been identified. In group-2 findings, arachnoid cyst (10; 0.9%), mastoiditis (5; 0.4%), meningioma (3; 0.2%) and pituitary macroadenoma (2; 0.1%) were the most common. Conclusion: Although most of the incidental findings are benign, some of them may be serious. The doctor should ensure the correct management of the patients with incidental findings, should inform the patients about the incidental findings sufficiently in terms of malpractice cases, and record their information and directions in the patient file completely.

Özet

Özet Amaç: Bu çalışmada, travma nedeniyle acil servise getirilen ve çekilen KBT’de tespit edilen rastlantısal (insidental) bulguların neler olduğunu, yaygınlığını ve klinik önemini değerlendirmek; bu bulguların tespiti sonrasında acil hekimlerinin izlemesi gereken yolu tartışmak amaçlanmıştır. Materyal-Metot: Acil Serviste KBT çekilen 2399 hastanın travmatik etiyolojiye sahip olan 1100’ünün epikrizleri ve PACS kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Hastaların 755 (%68,6)’i erkektir. Ortalama yaş 21,69±19,58 (0-101) olup, yaş gruplarında en yüksek payın 422 (%38,4) hasta ile 10 yaş altı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Başvuru nedenleri düşme (%50,1), trafik kazası (%19,0), kafa travması (%18,9), darp edilme (%10,4) ve iş kazası (%1,6) olarak bulunmuştur. Hastaların %22,3 (245 kişi)’ünde en az bir insidental bulgu görülmüş olup bu hastaların 29’unda ikinci ve 4’ünde üçüncü bir insidental bulgu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Grup-1 bulgular içinde en sık sinüzit (115; %10,4), nazofaringeal adenoid hipertrofi (35; %3,1), sinüs retansiyon kisti (32; %2,9) ve üst solunum yolu anatomik bozukluğu (27; %2,4) tespit edilmiştir. Grup-2 bulgularda ise en sık araknoid kist (10; %0,9), mastoidit (5; %0,4), menenjiom (3; %0,2) ve hipofizer makroadenom (2; %0,1) tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: İnsidental bulguların büyük kısmı benign özellikte olsa da az bir kısmı ciddi ve araştırma gerektirecek özellikler göstermektedir. Hekim insidental bulgu tespit ettiği hastaların doğru yönetimini sağlamalı, malpraktis davaları açısından hastaları insidental bulgular konusunda yeteri kadar bilgilendirmeli ve yaptığı bilgilendirme ile yönlendirmelerini eksiksiz biçimde hasta dosyasına kayıt etmelidir.
