Özet
Mitral regurgitation associated with papillary muscle rupture following blunt chest trauma is an extremely rarely seen pathology. The risk of myocardial injury is much higher than normal in blunt chest traumas that develop in people who have consumed high doses of alcohol. In this case article, we present our successful diagnosis and treatment approach in a 39-year-old patient who had high-dose alcohol intake and developed acute mitral regurgitation as a result of blunt chest trauma due to a traffic accident. It may be life-saving to keep in mind that there may be life-threatening myocardial injuries in patients with blunt thoracic trauma who have consumed alcohol.
