Travmatik Asfiksi Sendromunu Olgu Sunum İle Gözden Geçirme

Travmatik asfiksi servikofasiyal siyanoz ve ödem, subkonjuktival hemoraji ve peteşiyal hemorajinin yüz, boyun ve göğüs üst kısmında görüldüğü torakoabdominal bölgenin baskı tarzında güce maruz kaldığı nadir görülen bir durumdur. Biz burada başı ve boynu hariç diğer tüm vücudu yaklaşık 30 dk kadar toprak altında kalan olguyu travmatik asfiksi sendromunu gözden geçirmek amacıyla sunmak istedik.

Review of Traumatic Asphyxia Syndrome with a Case Presentation

Traumatic asphyxia is a rare syndrome in which the thoracoabdominal region is exposed to pressure and it presents with cervicofacial cyanosis and oedema, subconjunctival haemorrhage, and petechial haemorrhage in the face, neck and upper part of chest. In this report we present a 28 year old male patient whose whole body except the head and neck stayed under soil for about 30 minutes as an example case in order to review traumatic asphyxia syndrome
