Crush injury with spinal, aortic and renal injuries

Discussion:

Complex trauma CT with fracture/dislocation of L4 on L5, multiple lumbar spinal fractures, aortic/right renal artery/right external iliac artery dissections, devascularisation of the left kidney and extensive retroperitoneal hematoma.

This case is a good example of the role WBCT has in trauma, identifying a number of urgent findings and helping to plan treatment and prognosis.

The patient was transferred to a national spinal unit for further management.
