UNASSIGNED: A 36-year-women, with unremarkable past medical history, was presented to the Emergency Department after a stuck in high-speed two automobiles. She was hemodynamic, respiratory, and neurologically stable. The BMI was 36 kg/m². The abdomen was not distended with an ecchymotic lesion on the right flank. The thoracic abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a rupture in the lateral abdominal wall muscles with a TAWH in the location of the skin ecchymoses. There was no visceral lesion or intraperitoneal fluid. A conservative treatment was indicated. The follow-up was uneventful, with hematoma resorption and no cellulitis or abscess. The patient was discharged after 1 week. An abdominal repair will be planned using a mesh.
UNASSIGNED: TAWH is a rare entity. The best imaging modality for diagnosis is the CT scan allowing classification of the hernia and a screen for other injuries. The presence of an isolated TAWH must lower the threshold to closely monitor or to operatively explore, given the high rate of false-negative findings at imaging features.
UNASSIGNED: TAWH should be suspected behind any blunt abdominal trauma with high energy. CT scan and ultrasound were helpful for diagnosis and the only curative treatment is surgery to avoid complications.
■36岁女性,过去的病史平淡无奇,在一辆高速的两辆汽车被困后被提交给急诊室。她是血液动力学的,呼吸,神经稳定。BMI为36kg/m²。腹部没有扩张,右侧有瘀斑。胸部腹部和骨盆计算机断层扫描(CT)扫描显示,外侧腹壁肌肉破裂,皮肤瘀斑位置有TAWH。无内脏病变或腹腔积液。需要保守治疗。后续行动顺利,伴有血肿吸收,无蜂窝织炎或脓肿。患者1周后出院。将使用网格计划进行腹部修复。
■TAWH是一种罕见的实体。诊断的最佳成像方式是CT扫描,可以对疝气进行分类并筛查其他损伤。孤立的TAWH的存在必须降低阈值以密切监测或操作探索,鉴于影像学特征的假阴性发现率高。
■TAWH应该被怀疑在任何高能量的钝性腹部创伤之后。CT扫描和超声检查有助于诊断,唯一的治疗方法是手术以避免并发症。
