Traumatic endocardial rupture in a dog, initially without cardiac symptoms, led to forelimb thrombosis. This case highlights that blunt cardiac injury can be subtle, causing severe complications like acute thrombosis.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Cardiology
- Trauma Medicine
- Canine Pathology
Background:
- Vehicular polytrauma can cause complex injuries.
- Cardiac dysfunction is not always clinically apparent after trauma.
- Thrombosis can manifest as a delayed complication of trauma.
