Abstract:
If the cardiac injuries are frequent after closed chest traumatism, the cardiac injuries after abdominal closed traumatism are unusual but serious. We report the case of a right auricular rupture associated with a liver injury after a closed abdominal traumatism. The diagnosis was suspected on the TDM and confirmed by echocardiography. An emergency sternotomy was performed due to sudden haemodynamic instability. The initial clinical signs are often misleading. However the diagnosis must be made quickly and the treatment begun without delay.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
