Abstract:
Traumatic pneumatocele (TP) is a rare complication that can develop in the lungs following a traumatic event. These lesions are sometimes mistaken for congenital airway malformations. Multiple theories exist to explain the pathophysiology of this condition. This case study presents the clinical and radiological findings of a seven-year-old patient diagnosed with pneumatocele on thoracic imaging after a motor vehicle accident. A detailed evaluation of the patient\'s medical history and imaging led to the diagnosis of traumatic pneumatocele. This uncommon presentation, if not well understood, may lead to unnecessary interventions and significant anxiety for patients and their families. Given its rarity, awareness and a high index of suspicion are essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
摘要:
创伤性肺炎(TP)是一种罕见的并发症,可在创伤性事件后在肺部发展。这些病变有时被误认为是先天性气道畸形。存在多种理论来解释这种情况的病理生理学。此案例研究介绍了一名7岁患者的临床和放射学发现,该患者在机动车事故后的胸部影像学检查中被诊断为肺炎。对患者病史和影像学的详细评估导致了外伤性肺炎的诊断。这个不寻常的演讲,如果不是很了解,可能导致不必要的干预和显著的焦虑患者和他们的家人。鉴于其稀有性,意识和高度怀疑指数对于准确诊断和适当管理至关重要.
