Kompartman Sendromu Nedeniyle Erken Fasiotomi Yapılan Hastada Sinir Fonksiyonlarının Kademeli İyileşmesi

Literatürde bildirilen ateşli silah yaralanmalarının insidansı motorlu araç kazaları, spor yaralanmaları veya endüstriyel kazalar için bildirilenlerden daha yüksektir. Alt ekstremitelerin vasküler travması, hızlı tanı ve tedavi gerektiren akut arteryel yetersizliğe neden olabilir. Vasküler yaralanmayı takiben kompartman sendromu da prosedürü daha komplike hale getirebilir ve ekstremite kaybı riskini arttırır. Bu makalede, kompartman sendromu ile komplike olan travmatik bir sol ön tibial arterin başarılı cerrahi tedavisini ve sonuçta nöral sekelin çözümünü sunuyoruz. Akut arteriyel yaralanmalardaki iskemi süresini en aza indirgemek için çaba göstermeliyiz. Kompartman sendromu, iskemi süresi düşükken bile cerrahi onarımı takip edebilir ve tüm klinik seyir boyunca nabızlar palpabl olabilir. Seçilmiş vakalarda kompartman basınç ölçümü yerine klinik tanı ve cerrahi eksplorasyon tercih edilebilir.

Early Fasciotomy due to Compartment Syndrome with Gradual Recovery of Nerve Function

Abstract The incidence of gunshot wounds reported in the literatureare is higher than those reported for motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or industrial accidents. Vascular trauma of the lower extremities may lead to acute arterial insufficency which requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. Compartment syndrome following vascular injury may also further complicate the process, increasing the risk of limb loss. In this article, we present the successful surgical treatment of a traumatic left anterior tibial artery complicated by compartment syndrome and eventual resolution of neural sequela. All effort should be made to minimize ischemia time in acute arterial injuries. Compartment syndrome may follow surgical repair even when ischemia time is low and the pulses were palpable during the entire cilinical course. Clinical diagnosis and surgical exploration may be preferable instead of compartmental pressure recordings and observation in selected cases.
