Left pulmonic recess hematoma compressing pulmoner truncus

Abstract

Left pulmonic recess hematoma compressing pulmoner truncusThe fluid-filled recesses which occured by pericardial cavity might mimic various mediastinal patologiessuch as lymphadenopathy. Therefore, it is necessary to know normal anatomy and appearance of pericardialrecesses to prevent misdiagnoses. Our aim is to present a left pulmonic recess hematoma, its secondary effectand review the radiological features of pericardial recesses

PULMONER TRUNKUSU BASILAYAN SOL PULMONER RESES HEMATOMU

Abstract

Perikardiyal kavitenin oluşturduğu reses ve sinüslerdeki sıvı, başta lenf nodları olmak üzere birçok mediastinal patolojiyi taklit edebilmektedir. Bu nedenle reses ve sinüslerin radyolojik özelliklerinin bilinmesi mediastinal lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında önem taşımaktadır. Amacımız bu olguda sol pulmoner reses hematomu ve bunun ikincil etkisini sunmak ve perikardiyal reseslerin radyolojik özelliklerini gözden geçirmektir.Perikardiyal resesler, perikardiyal kavitenin kalp tabanýndaki büyük damarlar ile seröz perikardium arasýndaki uzanýmýyla oluþan potansiyel boþluklardýr. Ýlk kez 1986da sistematik olarak tanýmlanmýþ ve isimlendirilmiþtir (1). Reseslerde toplanan sývýnýn oluþturduðu görünüm zaman zaman mediastinal-hiler
lenf nodlarý, kitle ve aortik diseksiyonu taklit edebilir. Son yýllarda geliþen hýzlý ve çok kesitli bilgisayarlý tomografi (ÇKBT) teknolojisi ile artan yüksek temporal ve uzaysal rezolüsyon sayesinde resesler ve bu lokalizasyondaki patolojiler daha kolay ayýrt edilebilir hale gelmiþtir.
