Extra-pleural haematoma secondary to blunt chest trauma. An unusual presentation

VG Machin and OJ Lau
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Brook General Hospital, Shooter's Hill, London, UK.

The case history is described of a young man who presented with an apparent splenic rupture following thoracic compression during a rugby tackle. The actual diagnosis was that of an extra-pleural haematoma following transection of the internal mammary artery. This case is discussed within the context of the rarity of such a presentation--both in the site of the haematoma and the cause of the transection; and the problems posed in making the initial diagnosis.
