摘要:

Tension pneumopericardium is a rare complication of blunt chest trauma. We present two case reports of tension pneumopericardium, with clinical, hemodynamic, and radiographic evidence supporting the diagnosis. Although tension pneumopericardium is uncommon in blunt chest trauma, it should be considered in patients with pneumopericardium and hemodynamic instability.

摘要:

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder, a rare injury, results from direct trauma, indirect trauma, or via a seizure or electrical shock. We present a case with a posterior fracture dislocation of the shoulder secondary to a seizure in which interposition of the biceps tendon precluded closed reduction. The fractured lesser tuberosity fragment included the bicipital groove, allowing the biceps tendon to sublux posteriorly preventing closed reduction, thus requiring a subsequent open reduction.

摘要:

Nonpenetrating traumatic ventricular septal defect is rare. A triad of blunt chest trauma, holosystolic precordial murmur, and ECG abnormalities should suggest the diagnosis. Surgical repair, when indicated by progressive failure, rising pulmonary artery pressures, or significant (2:1 or larger) left-to-right shunt, has been shown to be very effective. Optimally, a period of several weeks from the injury should elapse before operative intervention is undertaken. Intra-aortic balloon pump may be helpful to stabilize patients acutely, and, in selected instances, allow delay of surgical repair so that the tissue around the defect may hold sutures more securely.

摘要:

Arteriovenous fistulae affecting the proximal portions of the superior mesenteric vessels are extremely rare. We are reporting one such fistula which occurred in a young male as a sequel to a stab in the epigastrium. The arteriovenous fistula was successfully treated by percutaneous steel coil embolization.
