Benign cystic tumors can originate from the retroperitoneum and are known to develop in adult males and females asymptomatically. Radiological diagnosis of teratomas in the retroperitoneal region is difficult and often confused with myelolipoma or other lipomatous tumors. This case report describes the incidental finding of mature cystic teratoma of the retroperitoneal region, which ruptured post motor vehicle accident (MVA) in 31years, old female patient. The patient present to the emergency department 24 hours post-accident with symptoms and signs of peritoneal inflammation. As a result of the seat belt injury, the cystic teratoma of the left retroperitoneum had ruptured. Due to anatomical location, the cyst was only partially removed. This case report has raised multiple clinical dilemmas and is the first of its kind in trauma patient management of mature cystic teratoma.

We report a case of a posterior mediastinal mature cystic teratoma with rupture secondary to blunt chest trauma in a 20-year-old male involved in a motor-vehicle accident. Initial treatment was guided by Advanced Trauma Life Support and a tube thoracostomy was performed for presumed hemothorax. The heterogeneous collection within the thoracic cavity was discovered to be the result of a ruptured cystic mass. Pathologic findings confirmed the mass consistent with a mature cystic teratoma. As mediastinal teratomas are most commonly described arising from the anterior mediastinum, the posterior location of the teratoma described in this report is exceedingly rare.

Introduction: Usually, cervical pedicle screw fixation has been considered too risky for neurovascular structures. The purpose of this case report is to present a young male patient who suffered a C4-C5 fracture after a motor vehicle accident treated with a 360⁰surgical approach without spinal instrumen-tation. Case report: A young male patient suffered a motor vehicle accident driving the vehicle without seat belt. Instantly after the accident he reports about severe neck pain, inability to move his left extremi-ties, difficulty moving his right extremities, burning pain. All patients had various degrees of cord injury, and they were classified according to the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale and Denis classification. Results: We present this young patient, where the selected surgical approach without using spinal instrumentation resulted has favorable outcome. Conclusion: Surgical options regarding to cervical spine fractures include stabilization and decompres-sion with and without spinal instrumentation. Carefully selected cases may be treated safely without instrumentation avoiding potential complications of spinal instrumentation such pseudoarthrosis, in-strumentation failure, infection, etc.

Seat belt syndrome happens when a car meets an accident and person sitting in the car with seat belt on gets abdominal injuries typically, seat belt mark with intestinal injuries and factures of ribs and lumber spine. The abdominal injuries are usually intestinal perforations. Doctor seeing the motor vehicle accident must keep in mind seat belt syndrome while examining. As the traffic rules are getting enforced strictly in developing countries we are seeing seat belt syndrome cases in these countries more and more. We presented here a case of seat belt syndrome in 35 years old women.

Safety Seat

In a sample of children less than 4 years of age, treated in an emergency room after a motor vehicle accident, 22% were restrained in a child safety seat (improper and proper), 12% were restrained by a vehicle seat belt, and 70% were unrestrained. Trauma and injury patterns related to the various restraint use patterns are described. Most children in safety seats and seat-belted children, if injured, sustained minor contusions, abrasions, or lacerations. Injury among properly restrained children in safety seats was primarily the result of unavoidable mechanisms (eg, flying glass, intrusion). Improper use contributed to injury among safety-seat-restrained children, primarily by allowing the child to hit against the vehicle interior. Seat-belted children also were injured, primarily by hitting against the vehicle interior. Although some of the restrained children were seriously injured, in general, restrained children tended to sustain less serious and fewer injuries than the unrestrained children.
