| Popis: | Highlights • Identical injuries in trauma pediatric victims shared the same trauma are not commonly encountered. • This pattern of identical injury does occur and should be considered and reported. • The aim is to raise the awareness about the importance of submission to vehicle safety protective measures especially for children. • None of the injuries of this study cases mandated immediate surgical intervention. Even major renal trauma in pediatrics can be managed non-operatively as long as the patient is hemodynamically stable and serial radiologic studies showed improvement and gradual resolution of lesions. Background Children sometimes are victims of motor vehicle collision (MVC) along with their families. Motor vehicle collision can cause several patterns of blunt trauma resulting from the impact itself or penetrating trauma by broken glass or other sharp objects. Most cases can be managed conservatively as long as the hemodynamic parameters are stable & hollow viscera are intact. Usually, cases shared the same accident have different injury patterns. But herein, we present 2 sisters as victims of MVC with same lesions but at variable degrees. Case presentation Two sisters were referred to our hospital as victims of MVC and presented by nearly identical injuries (left lung injury, left kidney injury, retroperitoneal fluid collection, & left humerus fracture). Both girls were managed non-operatively until improved and became ready for discharge from the hospital in stable good health status. Conclusion Identical injuries in pediatric trauma victims do occur and should be considered and reported to raise the awareness about the importance of submission to vehicle safety protective rules especially for children. |
