Özet

This study aims to highlight the clinical course of genitourinary injuries associated with pelvic fractures following motorcycle accidents and to raise awareness of these injuries. This case report presents two young female patients who sustained pelvic fractures and genitourinary injuries after motorcycle accidents. The cases are compared in terms of trauma severity, associated injuries, and treatment approaches. The first patient sustained high-energy trauma resulting in severe soft tissue injuries involving the anterior vaginal wall, clitoris, and bladder neck, accompanied by active bleeding. Despite external fixation, the patient died from multi-organ failure. The second patient experienced less severe trauma, presenting with a pelvic fracture and a superficial mons pubis laceration. She was successfully managed conservatively and recovered without complications. These cases highlight the importance of thorough genital examination in female trauma patients, the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach, and the potential for timely surgical intervention to be life-saving. This report contributes to the limited literature on pelvic and genitourinary injuries in women resulting from motorcycle accidents and underscores the need for further clinical research and documentation.
