Chylothorax secondary to gunshot wound.
BACKGROUND Chylothorax is the occurrence of chyle in the pleural space due to damage or obstruction of the thoracic duct. Its etiology can be traumatic or nontraumatic. Traumatic lesion of the thoracic duct occurs after accidents or cardiothoracic surgery. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the most frequent nontraumatic etiology. Milky aspect and high content of triglycerides in pleural fluid confirm t...
متن کاملLate treatment of a mandibular gunshot wound
Mandibular gunshot injuries are esthetically and functionally devastating, causing comminuted fractures and adjacent tissue destruction depending on the weapon gauge, projectile shape, impact kinetic energy, and density of the injured structures. If the mandibular fracture is not adequate or promptly treated, the broken fragments will fail to heal. In case of a treatment delay, progressive bone...
متن کاملTraumatic Cervical Nerve Root Avulsion with Pseudomeningocele Formation
Cervical nerve root avulsion is a well-documented result of motor vehicle collision (MVC), especially when occurring at high velocities. These avulsions are commonly traction injuries of nerve roots that may be accompanied by a tear in the meninges through the vertebral foramina with associated collections of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), thereby resulting in a pseudomeningocele. We present a case...
متن کاملModulation of the visceromotor reflex by a lumbosacral ventral root avulsion injury and repair in rats.
Increased abdominal muscle wall activity may be part of a visceromotor reflex (VMR) response to noxious stimulation of the bladder. However, information is sparse regarding the effects of cauda equina injuries on the VMR in experimental models. We studied the effects of a unilateral L6-S1 ventral root avulsion (VRA) injury and acute ventral root reimplantation (VRI) into the spinal cord on mict...
متن کاملTraumatic middle cerebral artery aneurysm secondary to a gunshot wound.
Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare lesions, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. Formation of these lesions after a penetrating missile wound is very unusual, and diagnosis can be difficult due to the presence of associated lesions. In this article, we report a case of a woman who developed a middle cerebral artery aneurysm after a gunshot wound, and discuss potenti...
