PNÖMOSKROTUM: ÇİFT KONTRASLI KOLON GRAFİSİNİN NADİR BİR KOMPLİKASYONU (OLGU SUNUMU)

Year 2008, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 39 - 41, 01.04.2008

Abstract

Pnömoskrotum skrotum içinde gaz varlığı ile ifade edilen bir durumdur. Uygulamalar ve patolojiknedenlerden kaynaklanan pnömoskrotum oldukça az görülür ve aynı zamanda rektal ve kolonikperforasyonların komplikasyonu olarak nadir rapor edilir. Elastikiyetinden dolayı skrotum vücudunbasınç havzası olarak düşünülür. Pnömoskrotuma neden olabilecek etiyolojik faktörler; akciğerler,retroperitoneal kaynaklar, cerrahi işlemler ya da gaz üretimi yapabilen mikroorganizmalar ile oluşanenfeksiyonları kapsamaktadır Pnömoskrotum orofarinks ile diz arasında bir çok hastalık ya dauygulama sonrası ortaya çıkabilen komplikasyonların habercisi olabilir. Skrotumda havatoplanmasını açıklayan çok sayıda mekanizma vardır. Pnömoskrotum için cerrahi ya da konservatiftedavi seçimi tartışmalıdır.Çalışmanın amacı, çift kontrastlı kolon grafisinin nadir bir komplikasyonu olan pnömoskrotumgelişen bir hastayı literatur eşliğinde değerlendirmektir

Pneumoscrotum: an unusual complication of double contrast colon graphy (A Case Report)

Year 2008, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 39 - 41, 01.04.2008

Abstract

Pneumoscrotum is a term used for the expression of the presence of gas within the scrotum. Pneumoscrotum resulting from procedural and pathological causes is an extremely rare occurrence and also rarely reported as a complication associated with colonic or rectal perforation. Because of its elasticity, scrotum is considered to be the pressure basin of the body. Etiologic factors that cause pneumoscrotum include thoracic or retroperitoneal pathologies, surgical manipulations or infection with gas-producing organisms. Pneuomoscrotum may provide clues to a range of diseases or procedure-related complications between the oropharynx and knee.There are multipl pathways to explain air accumulation into scrotum. The choice of conservative or surgical treatment for pneumoscrotum remains controversial In this report a case of pneumoscrotum as an unusual complication of double contrast colon graphy is presented.
