Abstract
Özet
Amaç: Kemik iliği ödemi tanım olarak kemik medullasında sıvının anormal bir şekilde artmasına denir. Etyolojide travmatik ve non-travmatik birçok faktör rol almaktadır. Bu çalışmada travmatik olgularda tespit edilen kemik iliği ödemi ve kontüzyonu kavramına dikkat çekmek ve adli tıp yaklaşımında sonuç belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Ocak 2020 ile Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında bir sağlık kuruluşunun radyoloji kliniğine manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) çekilmek için başvuran hastalardan, kas-iskelet sistemi için çekimi olan görüntüler retrospektif olarak incelendi. İncelemede travma tanılı olgular dikkate alınarak kemik iliği ödemi ve kontüzyonu varlığı- yokluğu şeklinde kategorize edildi. Görüntüleme işlemi 1,5 Tesla Simens Magnetom Aera cihazı ile yapıldı.
Bulgular: Travma öyküsü ile gelen ancak belirgin bir osteopatoloji tespit edilmeyen 153 olgudan 74 (% 48,4) tanesinde kemik iliği ödemi saptandı. Bu olguların tamamında künt travma öyküsü mevcuttu. Olguların 40’ı (%54,0) kadın, 34’ü (%46,0) erkek idi. Kemik iliği ödemi saptanan 74 olgunun 39’unda (% 52,8) kemik kontüzyonu tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Son olarak Haziran 2019’da güncellenen “Türk Ceza Kanunu’nda Tanımlanan Yaralama Suçlarının Adli Tıp Açısından Değerlendirilmesi Rehberinde” travmatik kemik iliği ödemi ve kontüzyonu kavramının yer almadığını görmekteyiz. İlerleyen dönemlerde adli tıp rehberlerinde bir yaralanma kriteri olarak yer alması gerektiği düşüncesindeyiz. Ayrıca vücut üzerine etkisi göz önüne alındığında; “Basit bir tıbbi müdahale ile giderilebilecek ölçüde hafif olmadığı” olarak skorlanmasının uygun olduğu kanaatindeyiz.

Abstract
Aim: Traumatic and non-traumatic many factors play a role in the etiology of bone marrow edema. In this study, it is aimed to draw attention to the term of bone marrow edema and contusion detected in traumatic cases and to determine a result in the medico-legal approach.
Methods: The musculoskeletal images of patients who applied to the radiology clinic of a health institution for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between January 2020 and May 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Imaging was performed with a 1.5 Tesla Simens Magnetom Aera device.
Results: Bone marrow edema was detected in 74 (48.4%) of the 153 patients who presented with a history of trauma but no obvious osteopathology was detected. All of these cases had a history of blunt trauma. Forty (%54.0) of the cases were female and 34 (%46.0) were male. Bone marrow contusion was detected in 39 (52.8%) of 74 cases.
Conclusion: We see that the term of traumatic bone marrow oedema and contusion is not included in the "Guidelines for Forensic Evaluation of Injury Crimes Defined in the Turkish Penal Code" updated in June 2019. In addition, considering the effect on the body; We believe that it is appropriate to score it as "not mild enough to be remedied with a simple medical intervention".
