Presentation
The epidemiology of traumatic asphyxia in Zimbabwe is unknown but the conditions predisposing to it are present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hematoma was present in the chin and the adjacent neck region. [doaj.org]
Respiratoric
- Hemoptysis
Profound lower leg pitting edema, hemoptysis, hemotympanum, and transient visual loss were noted. Chest radiographic findings were normal in all patients. Microscopic hematuria was noted in one patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Jaw & Teeth
- Oral Bleeding
He was cyanotic in his face and had a tire mark from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, petechiae on the head, face, conjunctiva and chest, oral bleeding, and facial edema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
- Petechiae
While the facial petechiae per se are of little consequence, the attendant injuries to other organ systems can be serious and even fatal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fig. 1 Diffuse petechiae and purpura throughout face and eyelids and submucosal hemorrhages on the lower lip Fig. 2 Petechiae, purpura, and ecchymosis on the left side of the face Traumatic asphyxia is a rare condition presenting with cervicofacial cyanosis [doi.org]
All of these findings (conjunctival/facial petechiae, craniofacial congestion/swelling) were present in all of our patients. [link.springer.com]
Eyes
- Retinal Hemorrhage
Open Access Clinical Images First Online: 01 August 2009 Keywords Purpura Glasgow Coma Scale Retinal Hemorrhage Exophthalmos Deep Breath These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. [doi.org]
Intracranial and retinal hemorrhages have been surprisingly infrequent in traumatic asphyxia. [synapse.koreamed.org]
They say that intracranial and retinal hemorrhages have been surprisingly infrequent in traumatic traumatic asphyxia patients, with the prognosis for vision usually good and vision loss temporary. [aao.org]
Visual disturbances occur in some cases [9], secondary to the same mechanism as neurological involvement with multiple presentations: retinal hemorrhage, retrobulbar hemorrhage and vitreous exudates [2]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Ophthalmology ruled out underlying retinal hemorrhage or detachment. His femur fracture was managed by orthopedics with a closed reduction. His ecchymotic lesions, petechiae and subconjunctival hemorrhages improved with time. [casereports.in]
- Chemosis
Uncommon features: Chemosis Exophthalmos Retinal haemorrhages and visual loss Vitreous haemorrhagic exudates (Purtscher’s retinopathy- Choi et al, 2010 ) Retrobulbar (posterior orbital) haemorrhages Haemotympanum Other sequelae: Loss of consciousness [derangedphysiology.com]
In a bedside ophthalmologic examination, severe bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhages, chemosis, severe periorbital swelling, and mild exophthalmos were found ( Fig. 1 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]
- Periorbital Ecchymosis
He came to the emergency room with periorbital ecchymosis and bilateral conjunctival hemorrhage. Imaging studies showed left clavicular fracture, rib fractures and pulmonary contusion without other associated pathologies. [casereports.in]
The differential diagnosis of this syndrome includes obstruction of the superior vena cava, skull base fracture which clinical presentation contains: sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, periorbital ecchymosis, epistaxis and otorrhagia. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Face, Head & Neck
- Facial Petechiae
Traumatic asphyxia is an uncommon syndrome of craniocervical cyanosis, facial petechiae, and subconjunctival hemorrhages following severe crush injury to the thorax. Ocular manifestations of the syndrome have rarely been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All of these findings (conjunctival/facial petechiae, craniofacial congestion/swelling) were present in all of our patients. [link.springer.com]
- Facial Edema
He was cyanotic in his face and had a tire mark from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, petechiae on the head, face, conjunctiva and chest, oral bleeding, and facial edema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients can also display jugular venous distention and facial edema. Associated injuries include pulmonary contusion, myocardial contusion, hemo/pneumothorax, and broken ribs. [en.wikipedia.org]
Two clinical features were consistent in all 3 patients: multiple petechiae on the face and bulbar conjunctival hemorrhage; 2 patients had facial cyanosis, and 1 had facial edema. [journals.lww.com]
The patient had facial purple congestion, diffuse head and neck edema and petechiae in the entire face, neck and upper chest (Figure 1). [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
- Neck Edema
The patient had facial purple congestion, diffuse head and neck edema and petechiae in the entire face, neck and upper chest (Figure 1). [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Neurologic
- Agitated Delirium
[…] drug intoxication, states of agitated delirium, internal diseases, or the like. [charlydmiller.com]
Urogenital
- Microscopic Hematuria
Microscopic hematuria was noted in one patient. Diagnosis is made from the history and characteristic appearance of the patient. Treatment is directed to the associated injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
During workup a comprehensive metabolic panel and a complete blood count were normal. An arterial blood gas showed mild acute respiratory alkalosis. An electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm. Troponin levels were within normal limits. [casereports.in]
Treatment
Treatment is directed to the associated injury. Oxygen supplement with head elevation to 30 degrees is the mainstay of treatment. If the patient survives the initial insult, the prognosis is excellent. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Results The treatment included bilateral chest tube thoracostomy in one patient, and the others required supportive treatment. There was no mortality. [link.springer.com]

Etiology
[…] revascularization with subsequent resorption and later collapse creeping substitution provides pathway for remodeling after collapse proposed mechanisms possible association with abnormal clotting factors (Protein S and Protein C deficiencies) controversial etiology [orthobullets.com]
Other etiologies of Perthes syndrome are: motor vehicle crashes, crushing in a panicked crowd, entrapment beneath vehicles or falling down in a narrow space [5]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Introduction Asphyxia derives from the Greek words a “without” and sphyxis, “heartbeat” is a condition of deficient tissue oxygenation leading to hypoxia with different etiologies. [casereports.in]

Pathophysiology
A case of traumatic asphyxia is reported, and its clinical and pathophysiologic features are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology of traumatic asphyxia is different in children compared to adults, because of the greater elasticity of the thorax in children. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
Prevention
Cooperative review and modification of stadium policies and design may prevent such events in the future. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology of traumatic asphyxia "Traumatic asphyxia" is defined as "a form of suffocation where respiration is prevented by external pressure on the body". [derangedphysiology.com]
