Head Of Pancreas

Background. To present a patient with an indirect blast rupture of the head of pancreas, as well as with a blast contusion of the duodenum following abdominal gunshot injury. Case report. A patient with the abdominal gunshot injury was submitted to the management of the injury of the liver, gaster and the right kidney in the field hospital. The revealed rupture of the head of the pancreas and the contusion of the duodenum were managed applying the method of Whipple. Conclusion. Indirect blast injuries require extensive surgical interventions, especially under war conditions.

Abdominal Gunshot Wounds

Aim. To present a patient with an indirect secondary nonperforating blast injury of the right colon following abdominal gunshot injury, which led to necrosis and the right colon gangrene, and was surgically managed. Case report. A 26-year-old male was shot in the abdomen by four projectiles causing the secondary indirect blast injury of the right colon that turned into gangrene after 24 hours. Two days after admission, laparotomy was performed, but the primary anastomosis was not done because of the stomach and pancreatic injury, and the resection of the colon with terminal ileostomy was done instead. Three months later, the reconstruction of the colon was performed using ileocolotransverso-terminolatetral anastomosis. Conclusion. Secondary blast injuries should be anticipated in gunshot injuries, and could be expected to any organs, particularly the air filled ones.

The number of children swallowing magnetic foreign bodies has been a significantly high for the past decades, increasingly needing endoscopic or surgical interventions. Case report. In our observation, a 12-year-old girl swallowed magnetic balls from childrens designer 10 days prior to hospital admission. Foreign bodies (5 balls) were found during X-ray examination in the projection of the cecum. Conservative therapy carried out for 4 days had no success, thus colonoscopy was performed to remove foreign bodies. Foreign bodies were fixed to the intestinal wall, and attempts to separate them were unsuccessful. When a medical magnet was placed outside the body in the right iliac region, a chain of magnetic balls detached from the intestinal wall and made it possible to be captured in a trap loop and be removed. The girl avoided a laparotomy with an opening of the colon. Conclusion. External use of a medical magnet is effective for navigation and assistance during colonoscopic extraction when magnetic foreign bodies are found in the colon.

Background. To present the first case of the tertiary blast injury to the intestine, and the tertiary blast injury in general. Case report. A parachutist of the Army of Serbia and Montenegro was injured when descended from the 1 200m height by parachute which did not expand. The force of stroke to the ground, caused the reactive transfer of energy and the subsequent blast injury to the intestine. After 24 hours, the secondary perforation of the small intestine, contusioned by the blast, developed which was the indication of explorative laparotomy. The resectioned small intestine showed the histologic characteristics of a blast injury, so the tertiary blast injury was diagnosed on the basis of these and of the mechanism of the injury. Conclusion. Tertiary blast injuries fall into the group of indirect blast injuries. The only difference between indirect injuries as compared to direct ones, is in the manner of inflicting, otherwise the traumatic mechanisms are alike, and include the transfer of the energy of stroke through the tissue of different density.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
