Abstract

Tension gastrothorax is a rare, life-threatening clinical condition caused by intrathoracic herniation of the stomach through a diaphragmatic defect which becomes increasingly distended over time. If not recognized promptly, this can rapidly progress to respiratory distress, mediastinal shift, and hemodynamic compromise. Initial clinical presentation and imaging findings closely mirror those of tension pneumothorax, confounding diagnosis and potentially leading to unnecessary interventions with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Here, we present a case of an elderly female who presented with a non-traumatic tension gastrothorax and a review of key imaging features and strategies to aid in recognition and accurate diagnosis of this emergent clinical entity.
非创伤性张力性胸膜炎:一种潜在的张力性胸腔积液。
紧张性胃胸是一种罕见的、危及生命的临床疾病,由胸内胃疝通过横膈膜缺陷引起,随着时间的推移,该缺陷变得越来越大。如果不能及时发现,可迅速发展为呼吸窘迫、纵隔移位和血流动力学损害。最初的临床表现和影像学表现与紧张性气胸密切相关,混淆诊断,并可能导致不必要的干预,增加发病率和死亡率的风险。在此,我们报告一位老年女性,她表现为非外伤性紧张性胃胸,并回顾了关键的影像学特征和策略,以帮助识别和准确诊断这种紧急的临床实体。
