Blunt chest trauma could lead to the cardiac valves damage. Flail anterior leaflet with severe tricuspid regurgitation is usually due blunt trauma. This condition very rare and can deformation failure of right ventricle. The easily diagnosed transthoracic echocardiography. In this study, we want present a case delayed damage following

BACKGROUND Renal trauma in the pediatric population is predominately due to blunt mechanism of injury. Our purpose was to determine the associated injuries, features, incidence, management, and outcomes of kidney injuries resulting from blunt trauma in the pediatric population in a single level I trauma center. METHODS This was a retrospective chart and trauma registry review of all pediatric...

OBJECTIVES To show the wide spectrum of computed tomography (CT) findings in blunt renal trauma and to correlate them with consequent therapeutic implications. METHODS This article is the result of a literature review and our personal experience in a level II trauma centre. Here we describe, discuss and illustrate the possible CT findings in blunt renal trauma, and we correlate them with the ...

UNLABELLED We present a case as a rare sign of traumatic optic neuropathy and central retinal artery occlusion following blunt ocular trauma. A 10-year-old child suffered complete loss of the vision of one eye following a blunt ocular injury. He sustained an occlusion of the central retinal artery and traumatic optic neurupathy of the affected eye. Isolated cases of central retinal vessel occlu...

BACKGROUND Blunt cardiac injury is a rare trauma entity. Here, we sought to evaluate the relevance and prognostic significance of blunt cardiac injury in severely injured patients. METHODS In a retrospective multicentre study, using data collected from 47,580 patients enrolled to TraumaRegister DGU (1993-2009), characteristics of trauma, prehospital / hospital trauma management, and outcome a...

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. Our patient who has been affected by a single blunt trauma to his hand and developed ulnar ...

background: blunt abdominal trauma is one of the causes of mortality in emergency department. free fluid in the abdomen due to intra-abdominal blunt trauma can be determined by the surface probe of ultrasound. since the importance of this free fluid in hemodynamic stable patients with blunt trauma is associated with the unknown outcome for surgeons, this study was performed to evaluate the role...

Blunt trauma abdomen Duodenal injury Feeding jejunostomy Duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon. It is notoriously difficult to diagnose and often overlooked leading to increased mortality and morbidity. We report a case of duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma and the relevant literature is reviewed.

OBJECTIVE Severe blunt chest trauma in humans is associated with high mortality rates. Whereas lung tissue damage and lung inflammation after blunt chest trauma have extensively been investigated, the traumatic and posttraumatic effects on the heart remain poorly understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to define cardiac injury patterns in an experimental blunt chest trauma model in...
