Traumatic subconjunctival dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) is a rare and emergency condition. Here, we report an interesting variation of rare case of inferior subconjuctival dislocation of PCIOL in a 75-year-old female patient following blunt trauma to her right eye with cow's head. All the previous literature with subconjuctival dislocation of PCIOL has reported t...

This paper is about a posttraumatic distal ulnar artery thrombosis case that has occurred after a single blunt trauma. The ulnar artery thrombosis because of chronic trauma is a frequent condition (hypothenar hammer syndrome) but an ulnar artery thrombosis because of a single direct blunt trauma is rare.

Intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernias are very uncommon and are most typically caused by high-force blunt trauma. Other iatrogenic causes such as prior surgical formation of a pericardial window have been described, but are exceedingly rare. We present a case of an intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia in a patient with a prior pericardial window in which the diagnosis was unclear using conven...

Aim This research aimed to propose a logistic regression model for Japanese blunt trauma victims. Methods We tested whether the logistic regression model previously created from data registered in the Japan Trauma Data Bank between 2005 and 2008 is still valid for the data from the same data bank between 2009 and 2013. Additionally, we analyzed whether the model would be highly accurate even ...

A case of traumatic tricuspid insufficiency is presented. In the diagnosis of ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve, two-dimensional echocardiography was an essential diagnostic procedure, while M-mode echocardiography showed no specific findings. Ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve were confirmed at operation.

We herein present a regional review of the management of renal trauma in the west of Ireland. The majority of renal injuries occur as a result of blunt trauma and are amenable to conservative management. We sought to streamline the management of renal trauma in the west of Ireland. With the current restructuring of the Irish Health Service, it is important to acknowledge the role of the urologi...
