Karýn ultrasonografisiyle gösterilen pankreatik yaralanma: Olgu sunumu

Künt travmaya baðlý pankreatik laserasyon nadirdir ve retroperitoneal organ yaralanmasýyla birlikteliði enderdir. Renal yaralanmalar klinik ve radyografik görüntüleme incelemesinde kolaylýkla saptanabilirken, pankreatik yaralanmalara klinik olarak taný koymak zordur ve bazý durumlarda da pankreatik yaralanmalar taný konulmadan kalmaktadýr. Her ne kadar ultrasonografi travma hastalarýnýn ilk deðerlendirilmesinde önerilmese ve intra veya perihepatik biliomalarýn takibinde yeri sýnýrlý da olsa, pankreas yaralanmalarýnýn araþtýrýlmasýnda yetkin bir tetkik olduðu gösterilmiþtir. Bu yazýda, ultrasonografiyle saptanan pankreatik yaralanmasý olan 23 yaþýndaki bir erkek olgu sunuldu.

Pancreatic injury revealed in abdominal ultrasound. A case report

Pancreatic laceration due to blunt trauma is relatively uncommon and it is less likely to accompany injury of a retroperitoneal organ. While renal injuries are easily detectable in both clinical and radiographic imaging examination, pancreatic injuries are difficult to diagnose clinically and in several cases remain occult. Although ultrasonography is not generally recommended for initial assessment of the trauma patient and its role is limited in the follow-up of contained intra- or perihepatic bilomas that are treated conservatively, it was demonstrated to be capable for exploration of pancreatic injuries as well. We present a case of a 23-year-old male with pancreatic injury found in ultrasonography.
