Anterior lung herniation: another aspect of the seatbelt syndrome
1995
Shoulder harnesses can be a source of thoracic injury in motor vehicle crashes. Sternal and rib fractures are most commonly reported. We present a case of a traumatic anterior lung herniation secondary to shoulder harness trauma in a motor vehicle crash victim with multiple injuries. A brief review of lung hernias is provided as well as a brief discussion of the thoracic manifestations of the seatbelt syndrome. Language: en
