Abstract
外傷性血胸在交通事故後是常見的，可是胸脊椎骨骨折合併於外傷性血胸於文獻上只有罕見的報告。我們報告一位21歲女性病患，因交通事故而產生大量血胸及出血性休克，經緊急開胸後，發現除胸椎骨骨折之外並沒有其他胸腔內器官損傷，在這種情況之下，脊椎骨骨折固定術是優先處理之選擇。本文強調於處置胸部鈍傷同時對其併發症應提高警覺。
Traumatic hemothorax is common after traffic accident However, the association of massive traumatic hemothorax and thoracic vertebral fracture has been rarely reported. We present the case of a 21 years old female patient who sustained a motor vehicle accident, massive hemothorax and hemorrhagic shock. Emergent thoracotomy revealed no intra-thoracic lesion other than a fractured-dislocated thoracic vertebra. Spinal stabilization was the treatment of choice in this setting. This report raises the index of suspicion for blunt chest trauma complicating such injury.
