Case Discussion
Bedside FAST was negative and pelvic US showed a single irregular gestational sac without a definite fetal pole. Some PV loss was reported at the roadside after the trauma. Formal US after the trauma CT confirmed loss of pregnancy.
Traumatic pelvic fractures in pregnant women have a very high fetal mortality rate.
