چکیده
INTRODUCTION This is very rare case report regarding late ventricular septal defect (VSD) following blunt trauma. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old motorcycle rider lost control and crashed to another motorcycle. He was transferred to emergency department by emergency medical services. Initial evaluation revealed some minor trauma which was managed, and he was discharged. There was a lately developed large apical VSD with delayed cardiopulmonary deterioration. The defect was recognized more than 10 days after accident, and repaired the day after. DISCUSSION Most VSD patients with blunt trauma remain asymptomatic following trauma while those with no primary findings experience gradual decompensation.

Unusual localisation of a ventricular septal defect following blunt chest trauma.
A 64 year old man presented with a traumatic ventricular septal defect following blunt chest trauma 40 years before. Echocardiography and left ventriculography were helpful in locating the unusual septal defect, which was subpulmonary. The shunt was small, but the anomalous chronic overload led to right ventricular failure. The surgical correction was thus too late to improve right ventricular ...
متن کاملA case of isolated ventricular septal rupture caused by blunt chest trauma
Isolated traumatic rupture of the ventricular septum following blunt chest trauma is rare. We report the case of a patient who sustained blunt chest trauma in a motor vehicle collision. The isolated ventricular septal defect was not discovered by echocardiography until 12 days after accident. Perventricular closure of the defect was performed with occluder. The patient died from a complication ...

A50-year-old man was accepted as a multiorgan donor. The cause of death was cranioencephalic trauma. No pathological antecedents were found. Transthoracic echocardiography showed neither valvular nor contractility abnormalities. Cardiectomy was performed as usual. A traumatic interatrial septal defect was found in the donor heart preparation before transplantation (Figure 1). It did not involve...
متن کاملPartial tearing of the interventricular septum after blunt chest trauma.
Cardiac trauma after blunt chest trauma is a rare complication of patients arriving alive to an emergency department. We here present the case of patient who had a partial rupture of the interventricular septum after having had a blunt chest trauma in a traffic accident. As there was no ventricular septal defect, conservative management was deemed appropriate. At 3-year follow-up, the patient w...
متن کاملTraumatic ventricular septal defect in a 4-year-old boy after blunt chest injury
Traumatic ventricular septal defect (VSD) resulting from blunt chest injury is a very rare event. The mechanisms of traumatic VSD have been of little concern to dateuntil now, but two dominant theories have been described. In one, the rupture occurs due to acute compression of the heart; in the other, it is due to myocardial infarction of the septum. The clinical symptoms and timing of presenta...
