Case #6

Findings

Chest

  • Patchy groundglass opacities in the right middle and lower lobes with intermixed cystic lucencies in the right middle lobe
  • No pneumothorax
  • Focal severe narrowing of the distal right subclavian artery as it traverses the medial margin of the right first rib. No dissection flap is seen extending proximally or distally

Abdomen/Pelvis

  • Bilateral punctate nonobstructing renal calculi

MSK

Diagnosis

Pelvic trauma with arterial hemorrhage

Sample Report

Acute comminuted right sacral fracture and right obturator ring fractures without dislocation or diastasis of the sacroiliac joints or pubic symphysis.

Small area of active hemorrhage adjacent to the right inferior pubic ramus fracture with an adjacent obturator internus intramuscular hematoma.

Acute minimally displaced fracture of the left pubic root.

Right middle and lower lobe pulmonary contusion and/or aspiration with multiple small traumatic pneumatoceles in the right middle lobe. No pneumothorax.

Acute nondisplaced fractures of the right anterior third through sixth and right posterior tenth and eleventh ribs.

Focal severe narrowing of the distal right subclavian artery as it traverses the medial margin of the right first rib. This finding is age-determinate and may represent chronic compression of the subclavian artery, which should be correlated with clinical signs of thoracic outlet syndrome. Superimposed acute artery injury is not excluded, though a dissection flap is not directly visualized.
