| Popis: | Roll-over trauma and associated traumatic entrapments frequently result in serious polytraumatisation. In rare cases, severe extrathoracic compressions and a protracted entrapment period can lead to Perthes syndrome, also known as traumatic asphyxia. The Perthes syndrome manifests itself by a triad of craniocervical cyanosis, facial petechiae and subconjunctival haemorrhages, enabling a rapid diagnosis based on these typical clinical features. In addition, a contusion of the heart, lungs or even the liver may occur as well as neurological and other ophthalmological complications. An early identification of this condition, the elevation of the upper body to allow adequate venous drainage in addition to ensuring sufficient oxygenation are essential for optimal therapy. In general, no long-term complications are to be expected for Perthes syndrome. The stasis usually disappears completely within a few months. |
