[Ventricular tachycardia secondary to myocardial contusion in an athlete: a clinical case report].

A 22-year-old athlete complained of palpitations shortly after a chest trauma during a basket competition. His electrocardiogram showed a ventricular tachycardia of 250 beats per minute, reverted to sinus rhythm with a chest thump. Standard electrocardiogram was normal. The following days he had an enzymatic pattern consistent with acute myocardial infarction, and the echocardiogram evidentiated an apical hypokinesia with a mural thrombosis. The patient recovered completely; and 15 days after the acute event, a coronary arteriography and ventriculography did not revealed any abnormality.

[Traumatic hyphema caused by contusion in Zaire].

PURPOSE: To study the clinical characteristics of hyphema. METHODS: Records of all 57 consecutive patients with traumatic hyphema due to non perforating ocular injury seen during a ten-year period (from 1982 to 1991) were reviewed. All patients were outpatients and were treated with topical application of corticosteroids with or without topical application of 0.5 or 1% atropine sulfate and antibiotics. For an intraocular pressure greater than 24 mmHg, topical timolol maleate 0.5% and, if necessary, oral acetazolamide sodium were used. RESULTS: There were 49 (86%) male and 8 (14%) female for sex ratio of 6:1. The average age of patients was 20.2 years (range, 2 to 61 years). Blows were responsible for injury in 53%; projectiles for 30% and explosions for 7% of all hyphemas. The most common associated injuries to the eye included cornea edema (40%), cataract (36%) and mydriasis (26%). Posterior synechiae (25%) and blood staining of the cornea (22%) were the most frequent complications that occurred. Secondary haemorrhage occurred in 7% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: Heavily pigmented eye, proptosis, paucity of facilities for care may be responsible of the high rate of complications.

[Several pathophysiologic grounds for radical removal of contusion foci from the cerebral hemispheres].

Local circulation and PO2 of the cerebral tissue were studied in 26 patients during the acute period of a severe craniocerebral trauma. It was demonstrated that pronounced changes in the microcirculation developed in the area of the concussion focus in the cerebral hemispheres. Three zones of disorders in the local circulation were distinguished, and it was shown that in case of an unremoved concussion focus the extending of its necrosis zone took place. The most effective surgical management of patients with severe craniocerebral traumas attended by concussion foci is its radical removal.
