Abstract

Simultaneous occurrence of the trachea, esophagus, and spinal cord injuries due to stabbing is rare. The incidence is decreasing, but early diagnosis and surgical treatment is important because it can be life-threatening. We present one case of simultaneous trachea, esophagus, and spinal cord injury caused by self-stabbing complicated with paraplegia.

자상에 의한 기관, 식도, 척수 관통상은 발생빈도가 낮은 손상으로 점차 그 빈도는 줄어드는 추세이다. 그러나 일단 발생하면 매우 심각한 증상을 유발하여 생명의 위험을 초래하고, 많은 합병증을 야기하기 때문에 조기에 진단하여 외과적으로 치료하는 것이 가장 바람직하다. 본 저자는 60세의 남자 환자가 자신의 목에 과도로 자상을 입혀 발생한 기관 및 식도 열상, 그리고 척수 손상에 의한 하반신 마비의 치험 사례를 보고하는 바이다.
