摘要

In the event of a car crash, airbags can be a lifesaver. However, airbags can sometimes explode when deployed and send shrapnel into the drivers and passengers, causing injury or death. Here we report a patient struck by shrapnel from an exploding airbag. The penetrating fragment damaged the T1 paravertebral area, leading to the Brown-Sequard syndrome and left subclavian artery disruption. After emergent operation for foreign-body removal and aggressive rehabilitation for 6 months, the patient recovered from motor and sensory loss almost completely.

當我們發生汽車車禍時，安全氣囊可以保護我們。但是，安全氣囊的引爆有時反而會傷害司機和乘客。在這篇病例報告當中，我們提出了一名被安全氣囊爆炸後彈出碎片傷害的病人。穿透性的碎片擊中第一節胸椎旁的區域並導致布朗斯夸症候群及左鎖骨下動脈破裂。經緊急異物取出手術及六個月的積極復健後，病人的運動和感覺喪失幾乎完全恢復。
