Abstract

Öksürük, nefes darlığı, göğüs ağrısı, plevral ve perikardiyal efüzyon akciğer kanseri hastalarında görülen yaygın semptomlar ve belirtilerdir. Akciğer adenokarsinomu tıbbi geçmişi olan ve ilk olarak göğüs ağrısıyla başvuran ve ardından tekrarlayan öksürük kaynaklı senkop atakları geçiren 39 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Ekokardiyogramla yapılan değerlendirme, perikardiyal efüzyonun varlığını ve ciddiyet faktörünü doğruladı. Malignite veya romatolojik tıbbi rahatsızlık tanısı konulan, özellikle hipotansif ataklar veya senkop, perikardiyal efüzyon ve tamponad tanımlayan öksürük veya öksürük nöbetleriyle acil servise başvuran herhangi bir hastada şüphelenilmelidir. Herhangi bir ölüm olasılığını azaltmak için uygun bir muayene algoritması uygulanmalıdır.

COUGH-INDUCED SYNCOPE: UNEXPECTED RESULT OF MALIGNANT PERICARDIAL EFFUSION

Abstract

Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and pleural and pericardial effusion are common symptoms in patients with lung cancer. We report a case of a 39-year-old male with a history of lung adenocarcinoma who initially presented with chest pain followed by recurrent episodes of cough-induced syncope. Echocardiographic assessment confirmed the presence and severity factor of pericardial effusion established. This case highlights the importance of suspecting pericardial effusion and potential cardiac tamponade in patients with known malignancies or rheumatological conditions presenting to the emergency department with cough or hypotensive episodes, particularly those reporting syncope. To minimize mortality risk, it is critical to implement a thorough diagnostic algorithm when such symptoms are observed.
