Abstract

Recently, in our country we experienced an increase incidence of motor vehicle accidents, which often leads to some severe cases brought to the A&E's departments, requiring prompt complex surgical treatment, with the surgeon facing out of ordinary situations. This is the case for the combined trauma of the chest and abdomen. The authors present the case of a 32 years old female patient, victim of a MVA, who had suffered a deep penetrating wound of her right chest and right upper quadrant, caused by a wooden pole which penetrated the anterior V and VI intercostal spaces, went through the right inferior pulmonar lobe, the diaphragm and the seven segment of the liver, resting on the posterior wall of the ribcage. This patient required emergency surgery, making an uneventful postoperative course.
