“…The increased abdominal or thoracic pressure applied during HM may lead to multiple complications, as summarized in Table 1. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Ours is the second reported case of a diaphragmatic hernia resulting from HM. 19 This patient's hospital course was complicated by multiple surgeries, intubations, and overall functional decline.…”

“…Other more serious complications described are esophagogastric and jejunal ruptures [2–4], thrombosis of the abdominal aorta [5], diaphragmatic hernia [6], and pneumomediastinum [4, 7]. The pneumomediastinum and the subcutaneous emphysema although rare, they can occur following bronchopleural and pharyngoesophageal tears [8].…”

“…It is possible that inadvertent malposition of the hands may result in trauma to the atherosclerotic abdominal aorta, and four cases have been described in the literature. [4][5][6][7] Patients with AO typically present with numbness and loss of motor control of their lower extremities with mottling of the skin in the abdominal area and lower extremities. Three of our patients had typical symptoms of lower extremity acute peripheral artery occlusion present at the time of admission, whereas the last patient developed this after cardioversion.…”

Aort oklüzyonu (AO) nadir görülen, yüksek morbidite ve mortalitesi olan bir hastalıktır. Bu yazıda acil servise çeşitli semptomlarla başvuran ve abdominal AO tanısı konulan beş olgu sunuldu. Olguların tümünde çakışan semptomlar mevcuttu. Tüm olguların tıbbi geçmişlerinde koroner arter hastalığı, serebrovasküler hastalık ve periferik arter hastalığı gibi aterosklerotik hastalıklar vardı. Dört olguda abdominal aortun tam oklüzyonu saptanmışken, bir olguda %95 oklüzyon saptandı. Bilgisayarlı tomografi tanı için önemli bir araç idi. Tüm olgularda mezenter iskemi bulguları mevcuttu ve tedaviye rağmen tümü kaybedildi. Aort değişik sistemleri ve ekstremiteleri beslediği için, AO semptomları hastadan hastaya değişebilir. Bu nedenle hekimler tanı koymada zorluklar yaşayabilir. Embolektomi veya greftleme ile erken tanı konsa ve revaskülarizasyon sağlansa da, çoğu olguda mortalite kaçınılmazdır. Çakışan semptomlarla gelen hastalarda AO ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmeli ve vasküler muayene dahil kapsamlı bir muayene yapılmalıdır.Anah tar söz cük ler: Aort oklüzyonu; bilgisayarlı tomografi; acil servis.Aortic occlusion (AO) is a rare entity with high morbidity and mortality. In this article, we present five cases who were admitted to Emergency Department with various symptoms and diagnosed with AO of abdominal aorta. All five cases had overlapping symptoms. Medical history of all cases included atherosclerotic diseases such as coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular and peripheric artery disease. Four of the cases had complete occlusion of abdominal aorta, while one had 95% occlusion. Computed tomography remained an important tool for the diagnosis. All the cases had signs of mesenteric ischemia and died despite all efforts. As the aorta perfuses different systems and limbs, symptoms of AO may vary from patient to patient. Thus, it may be challenging for physicians to diagnose this disease. Although the diagnosis is based on early embolectomy or grafting and revascularization is ensured, mortality is inevitable in most of the cases. The differential diagnosis of AO should be considered in the patients with overlapping symptoms and a comprehensive physical examination with vascular components should be performed.
