Extensive pulmonary contusions demonstrated within the left lower lobe and the lingular segment of the left upper lobe. There are areas of pulmonary haemorrhage and haemato-pneumatocele formation suggesting pulmonary laceration. Small left pneumothorax.
Subtle regions of ground glass opacity in the right lower lobe probably represent small pulmonary contusions. Tiny left pneumothorax. No evidence of traumatic aortic injury. No mediastinal haematoma.
There are non displaced rib fractures involving the lateral 5th-9th ribs on the left and the left 9th posterior rib (these were best appreciated on bone windows). No scapular, clavicular (incomplete views) or sternal fracture is identified. Unfused sternal body noted.
