unusual case

[jduchesne1]

It is really hard to see the ct Ao injury which I think that is what you r trying to point out. In the event of a true (not a VOMIT) Ao injury with combine TBI, non operative management with control of patient delta P/delta T with breviblock is indicated. On the other hand special attention needs to be taken for good ICP/CPP readings in order to prevent secondary brain injury. Good judgment and close ICU care is a most.
Please send more cuts of the CT.
Always remember communication is of the essence among physicians in polytrauma patients.
Good case.
