Alerts trauma clinicians to subtle CT signs of cardiac herniation; hypothesis-generating for refined diagnostic protocols in blunt chest injury.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the diagnostic challenges and key imaging findings in identifying life-threatening pericardial rupture and cardiac herniation following blunt thoracic trauma.
Glotzer et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Pericardial rupture and associated cardiac herniation (n=1). Blunt force thoracic trauma was evaluated. A case study of left-sided pericardial rupture and cardiac herniation following a high-speed motorcycle collision highlights the diagnostic challenges and subtle CT characteristics of this condition.
