A 4-year-old boy presented with sudden respiratory distress after blowout of a defective tire that he bit. Computed tomography scan showed right pneumothorax and bilateral orbital emphysema. A linear rupture has been detected in the cervical esophagus in esophagoscopy. Stamm gastrostomy and tube thoracostomy were performed,and broadspectrumantibiotics have been introduced. Oral feeding started 23 days after blowout of tire, and the patient was discharged 50 days after injury.展开更多

Its clinical presentation is vomiting, bloody stools, severe colicky abdominal pain, and mass. The authors reported a case of intussusception with an inappropriate clinical picture, but both characteristic ultrasonography and computed tomography findings led to the diagnosis of ileoileal intussusception.展开更多
