ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze treatment outcomes in children with traumatic injuries of the diaphragm. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
We followed-up 14 children aged 3-18 years with traumatic injuries of the diaphragm. Diagnostic measures included anamnesis, physical examination, pleural and abdominal puncture, bladder catheterization, ultrasound and X-ray examination including CT.RESULTS:
Traumatic brain injury and thoracoabdominal trauma prevailed in children with traumatic injuries of the diaphragm. In 8 children, diaphragm injury was the result of a traffic accident. Of these, 5 ones died at the scene due to traumatic brain injury. In 3 children, diaphragm injury was associated with penetration of an iron pin through the perineum, pelvic cavity, abdominal and chest cavities when falling from a height (n=1) and sledding (n=2). Two children were littered with a pile of bricks and building materials. One girl suffered a diaphragm injury as a result of a stab wound.CONCLUSION:
Combined damage to the diaphragm, TBI, chest and abdominal organs are serious injuries. Signs of shock, internal bleeding, respiratory failure and bone fractures come to the fore. Assistance to these children should be carried out in specialized hospitals.Key words
