Özet
Trauma is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among young adults. In the emergency department, blunt and penetrating traumas must be evaluated carefully especially for life-threatening conditions. High-pressure air is a rare penetrating trauma type. Pneumomediastinum, pneumocephalus, and bilateral pneumo-orbita are all dangerous conditions and coexistence of them is extremely rare. There is no consensus for the treatment of this concurrence and, moreover, there is no opportunity for future randomized studies. Hence, in this study, we report a pneumomediastinum, pneumocephalus, and bilateral pneumo-orbita case after high-pressure air trauma and resolution with supportive care without any complication.
