The incidence of ACS is estimated to be 7.3 per 100,000 in males and 0.7 per 100,000 in females [1–3]. Given its rare occurrence, the incidence of GCS is not well reported. In the case of GCS, the most common etiologies are surgical positioning, prolonged immobilization secondary to substance use or loss of consciousness, and traumatic injury. Clinical findings are pulselessness, pallor, parasthesia, paralysis, and most notably pain out of proportion. Swift diagnosis and treatment are imperative to reduce morbidity and mortality, however the ideal management of GCS is difficult to ascertain given the rare occurrence and variable presentation.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Orthopaedic trauma database at a level 1 trauma center was reviewed to identify patients for whom the orthopaedic service was consulted due to suspicion of gluteal compartment syndrome. This yielded 11 patients between 2011 and 2019. Patients with a measured ΔP greater than 30 upon initial consultation and with a concerning exam requiring monitoring were included.

An 18-year-old male was admitted to our emergency department after a car accident.

Given the pipe's length exceeding the CT gantry's capacity, further imaging tests were not feasible. Consequently, the patient proceeded directly to the operating room without preoperative imaging. Before laparotomy, a left thoracotomy was conducted for aortic cross-clamping, anticipating uncontrollable bleeding during pipe removal. The subsequent laparotomy, with the patient in the right-side recumbent position, revealed the pipe impaling through the mesentery of the descending colon without evident major vessel injury. The pipe was cautiously extracted. The patient was subsequently discharged on day 26. The absence of imaging feasibility emphasized that current hemodynamic stability does not rule out the potential for significant vessel injury. Therefore, the sequential approach of left thoracotomy for aortic cross-clamping followed by laparotomy emerges as a potentially beneficial strategy in cases of transabdominal impalement. The impalement injury requires our preparedness and flexibility, which should be tailored to the individual case.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23291,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Case Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352644024000335/pdfft?md5=99f32d85ad98237bb2266f24b98e68b5&pid=1-s2.0-S2352644024000335-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140346798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its first documentation within the literature in 1946, there have been less than 50 cases reported. We present a case involving a 56-year old female who presented to our Trauma Center with transdiaphragmatic intercostal herniation caused by blunt trauma from a high-velocity T-bone vehicular collision. Upon presentation, she exhibited bilateral breath sounds; however, with labored breathing, chest pain, and hypoxia. The initial chest radiograph interpretation indicated the presence of “left lower lobe infiltrates”, and subsequent computed tomography imaging identified “a small lateral hernia along the left mid abdomen”. After initial resuscitation, her condition deteriorated, exhibiting respiratory distress and becoming increasingly hypercarbic, requiring intubation. Review of the imaging showed disruption of the left hemidiaphragm with intrathoracic herniation of colon and stomach through the thoracic wall between the ninth and tenth ribs. Consequently, a thoracotomy was performed in the operating room, revealing a large defect between the two ribs with disruption of the intercostal muscles and inferior displacement of rib space. Lung and omentum had herniated through the disrupted rib space and the diaphragmatic rupture was attenuated anteriorly, measuring 11x6cm. After reduction of the herniated organs, a biologic porcine mesh was placed and an intermediate complex closure of the thoracic wall hernia was performed. The patient was later extubated, recovered from her injuries with no complications and was discharged. With the low incidence of transdiaphragmatic intercostal herniation, there is no standardized surgical management. Recent literature suggests that these injuries should be managed with mesh, rather than sutures only, due to high rates of recurrence. Furthermore, diaphragmatic injuries may suffer a delay in diagnosis. Therefore, a high index of suspicion should be maintained in patients with respiratory distress following a blunt trauma, with close review of computed tomography.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23291,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Case Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352644024000396/pdfft?md5=514d1e67486899345dc229f8f81c67ac&pid=1-s2.0-S2352644024000396-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140545823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
