| Popis: | Aortic injury following deceleration is an uncommon clinical entity in the pediatric population. Flexibility of the thoracic cage and marked tissue elasticity have been hypothesized as critical factors. Unfortunately, the scarcity of this phenomenon can lead to a lowered suspicion. We describe a case of blunt aortic injury following deceleration to raise the index of suspicion for this injury in the pediatric population. Language: en |
