A rare case of perforating chest wall including pericardial sac with penetrating trivial injury: A case report and literature review
Perforating chest wall injuries involving the pericardial sac in pediatric patients are exceedingly rare and pose a unique clinical challenge. Thoracic trauma in the pediatric population remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with an acute hist...

description | Perforating chest wall injuries involving the pericardial sac in pediatric patients are exceedingly rare and pose a unique clinical challenge. Thoracic trauma in the pediatric population remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We present a case of an 8-year-old boy with an acute history of a sharp injection needle embedded in his chest wall presented with severe chest pain and diaphoresis. Diagnostic evaluations included computed tomography revealed a hyperdense focus with a metallic artefact seen impacted in the interventricular septa and perforating the heart. He underwent a thoracotomy and cardioplegic arrest for needle retrieval and subsequent cardiac repair. Our case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, meticulous monitoring, and a profound understanding of the unique anatomical considerations in pediatric chest injuries. SUMMARY: This article presents a rare and challenging case of an 8-year-old male who arrived at the emergency department with a sharp injection needle embedded in his chest wall. Despite being relatively rare in children, thoracic injuries can be severe and potentially life-threatening. A fast and accurate diagnostic approach is crucial to prevent fatal complications. Thoracic trauma in the pediatric population remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Timely diagnosis and appropriate interventions are critical in improving patient outcomes. The presented case highlights the need for caution and a well-planned approach in managing such rare and complex injuries in children. |
