Congenital idiopathic pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum - topical thoracic trauma. Case Reporting
Session
Medicine and Nursing
Description
The incidence of concomitant pneumoperitoneum in a severed corporal injury (head, neck / thorax / abdomen) with more pronounced thoracic injury is extremely rare and the exact mechanism of its presentation is unknown at this time (it is idiopathic). The dilemma lies in deciding whether or not to have surgical treatment. The case of a 31-year-old injured person who accidentally falls off the stairs and falls downstairs (2.5 - 3 m height) on a grate-reinforced base and being treated after all clinical and imaging tests, and careful observation a week is only done in a conservative (non-surgical) way, bed regimen and empirical therapy: antibiotics and analgesics. Literature is consulted and suggestions are given.
