A Rare Finding of Pulmonary Trauma: Pseudocyst

Year 2015, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 90 - 93, 01.10.2015

Abstract

Pulmonary parenchymal injury occurring after blunt thoracic trauma varies from simple contusion to laceration. Posttraumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a rare complication of blunt thoracic trauma. It is a benign lesion which does not have its own epithelial component, and is mostly seen in children and young adults. Resorption undergoes an average of three months, but it could be transformed rarely into an abscess or cyst formation. Computed tomography is important in diagnosing pseudocysts. The majority of traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts are benign self-limiting lesions which do not require specific treatment. Indications for surgery are limited and can only be applied when complications develop. We aimed to report a case of pulmonary pseudocyst, which is a rare finding of blunt chest trauma due to a fall from a height, in the light of the literature

Pulmoner Travmanın Nadir Bir Bulgusu: Psödokist

Year 2015, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 90 - 93, 01.10.2015

Abstract

Künt toraks travması sonrası meydana gelen akciğer parankim
yaralanmaları basit kontüzyondan, laserasyonlara kadar değişir.
Post-travmatik akciğer psödokisti künt toraks travmalarının nadir
görülen bir komplikasyonu olup, kendine ait epiteli olmayan benign karekterli lezyonlardır. Çoğunlukla çocuklar ve genç erişkinlerde görülür. Ortalama üç ay içerisinde rezolüsyona uğrar, fakat
nadirde olsa abse formasyonuna veya progresif olarak büyüyerek
tansiyon kistine dönüşebilir. Bilgisayarlı tomografi psödokistlerin
görüntülenmesinde önemlidir. Travmatik pulmoner psödokistlerin büyük bir kısmı spesifik bir tedaviye gerek göstermeksizin kendini sınırlayan iyi huylu lezyonlardır. Cerrahi tedavi endikasyonu
nadir olup yalnızca komplikasyonlar geliştiğinde uygulanabilir. Biz
burada yüksekten düşmeye bağlı, künt toraks travmasının nadir
bir bulgusu olan psödokist olgusunu literatür bilgileri ışığında
sunmayı amaçladık.
