    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Thoracic Medicine
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Knife stabbing incidents present complex trauma scenarios.
    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are critical for patient outcomes.
    • Understanding injury patterns guides treatment strategies.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of knife stabbing injuries were analyzed.
    • The diagnosis and management of associated pneumothorax were detailed.
    • Clinical presentations of chest and abdominal stab wounds were observed.

    Findings:

    • Pneumothorax, a common complication of chest trauma, was accurately diagnosed.
    • Conservative management is effective for the majority of thoracic stab wounds.
    • Abdominal stab wounds necessitate surgical exploration due to high risk of visceral injury.
