We report a case of delayed traumatic urinary extravasation that was not detected on CT twice within 48 hours after injury. The patient was a 42-year-old female with blunt right renal injury. Initial CT showed a complex deep injury of the right lower kidney, no urinary extravasation, partial residual contrast medium in the injured renal parenchyma, and arterial extravasation that was not depicted on angiography. On the next day, excre-tory-phase CT images showed no urinary extravasation and partial residual contrast medium, and truncation of the right lower calyces was detected on maximum intensity projection (MIP) images. On the 8th day after injury, excreto-ry-phase CT images depicted urinary extravasation at the right lower kidney and disappearance of partial residual contrast medium. On MIP images, urinary extravasation was detected at the right lower calyces. Urinary extravasation spontaneously disappeared on the 21st day after injury. In this patient, obstruction of injured calyces was regarded as the cause of delayed excretion of contrast medium in the injured renal parenchyma and delayed urinary extravasation. MIP images were useful to detect calyceal obstruction and to diagnose delayed urinary extravasation.","PeriodicalId":19447,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Kyukyu Igakukai Zasshi","volume":"40 1","pages":"779-784"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79556324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in the delayed-onset cognitive and behavioral impairments that occur after repetitive mTBI, also known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), in athletes and military personnel. Because many patients with mTBI are adolescents and the increasing incidence of mTBI has a significant social impact, re-searchers are exploring the mechanism underlying mTBI and its management. Cerebral concussion, a common type of mTBI, is associated with physical symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and temporary consciousness disturbance and shows no structural abnormalities on imaging studies. Because there are no diagnostic criteria for concussion, its symptoms should be carefully observed using established assessment tools. There are three sequential conditions related to mTBI with concussion: CTE, second impact syndrome, and post-concussion syndrome. Al-though repetitive mTBI is thought to increase the risk of progression of these related conditions, the mechanism is unclear. Patients with mTBI should rest from physical and cognitive activities, and avoid activities that could cause repetitive injury. For athletes, to avoid missing signs of worsening, a return-to-play protocol should be used in which the patient’s physical and cognitive conditions are evaluated at each stage of recovery. Rest and supportive care are the only ways to manage mTBI. There are currently no effective treatments to prevent worsening or prolongation of symptoms. To minimize the adverse outcomes of mTBI, especially in children whose brains are immature, it is vital to educate supervisors to prevent repetitive mTBI and to manage patients appropriately. In particular, supervisors should have a clear understanding of mTBI and its management, including strict adherence to protocols. It is also important to establish new guidelines for the management of patients with mTBI.","PeriodicalId":19447,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Kyukyu Igakukai Zasshi","volume":"25 1","pages":"191-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87160164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient was a 56-year-old female. She took approximately 75 g of 5% ethylthiometon granules at home, and was admitted to our hospital. As respiratory depression was observed, endotracheal intubation was per-formed. Subsequently, gastric lavage was conducted. In addition, activated carbon was used for decontamination. As an antagonist, atropine was used. Stable spontaneous respiration could not be achieved for 1 month. Ventilator-de-pendent central respiratory depression was protracted. The ventilator was weaned off 34 days after admission. Based on previous case reports on ethylthiometon poisoning, the protracted respiratory depression in the present case was possibly associated with granules strongly adhering to the stomach. For organic phosphorus poisoning, treatment and management must be performed, considering the dosage form. In particular, granules may strongly adhere to the gastric wall. It may be necessary to perform upper digestive tract endoscopy in the early stage and decontamination of the digestive tract under direct vision. Furthermore, it may be necessary to perform repetitive gastric and intestinal lavage with charcoal.","PeriodicalId":19447,"journal":{"name":"Nihon Kyukyu Igakukai Zasshi","volume":"296 1","pages":"16-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76486645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
