Özet
The majority of penetrating thoracic traumas develop due to gun shots or stab wounds. In glass injuries causing penetrating thoracic trauma, fatal traumas occur due to collisions with glass doors or falls on glass. A 31-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department after an injury caused by a collision with a glass door. Although he had a 20 cm posterolateral thoracotomy incision, a 10 cm intercostal defect and a 5x7 piece of glass in the thorax, his general condition was good and his vital signs were stable. In this article, a case with penetrating thoracic trauma, who was accidentally wounded in the form of the left posterolateral thoracotomy without any organ damage was presented in the light of literature data.
