    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2024-12) Burak Özkan; Abdullah Kızmaz; Uğur Bak; Khalid Zeynalov; Süleyman Savran; Abbas Albayati; Çağrİ A. Uysal; Mehmet Haberal
    In this case report, we present the management of a dramatic and rare combination of injuries: high-voltage electrical injury, chemical burn, and open tibial and calcaneal fractures resulting from a fall from height. The patient underwent early fasciotomies. After treatments administered by a multidisciplinary team consisting of plastic surgeons, general surgeons, orthopedic specialists, anesthesiologists, and physiotherapists, the patient was discharged without extremity loss after a 135-day hospital stay. This case report discusses the importance of early fasciotomy and debridement in management of extensive burns and fall-related injuries, the potential for extended hospitalization for reconstruction, and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach.

    A Case of Progressive Mortal Thrombosis: Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2023-03) Khalid Zeynalov; Burak Ozkan; Tankut Akay; A. Cagri Uysal; Mehmet Haberal
    ABSTRACT Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a very rare set of conditions associated with acute, massive venous thromboembolism. Medical and surgical options can be combined in treatment. Patients may experience sudden onset and severe leg pain, edema, cyanosis, compartment syndrome, and post-venous gangrene amputation and death. Medical and surgical treatments can be combined in treatment. Anticoagulants, thrombectomy, percutaneous procedures and amputations are among the treatment options. We present a 60-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus with swelling, pain, and discoloration in the left lower extremity who died due to progressive venous thrombosis despite various treatment modalities. Wound debridement and thrombectomy were performed. On day 10 of hospitalization, the patient was intubated to treat resistant low saturation. Despite the interventions, the patient died on day 10 of hospitalization due to cardiopulmonary arrest. Early diagnosis and treatment are vitally important. As in the case we presented, sometimes patients die as a result of rapid clinical progression and side effects, despite the use of different medical and surgical treatments.
