Diagnosis

Renal laceration

Hepatic laceration

Splenic laceration

Intrauterine pregnancy

Sample Report

Shattered left kidney with devascularization of the upper pole and fragmentation of the lower pole. Complex surrounding collection likely represents a combination of the hematoma and urine leak although a urine leak is not directly visualized on delayed phase images.

Nonocclusive thrombus in the left renal vein, possibly related to traumatic intimal injury.

Small left hepatic lobe and splenic lacerations (grade 2) without evidence of active hemorrhage.

Airspace opacities likely represent a combination of aspiration and contusion. No pneumothorax.

Lateral compression type left sacral and obturator ring fractures and nondisplaced fracture of the anterior wall of the left acetabulum.

Fluid-filled structure in the endometrial canal which may represent an early pregnancy. Recommend correlation with beta-hCG and pelvic ultrasound.
