abstract="We present for the first time the use of contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography in trauma care to detect acute myocardial infarction and verify it as the cause of a traffic accident. In addition to the case report, cardiac contusion, coronary dissection, and facets of insurance law are discussed. The determination of acute myocardial infarction, cardiac contusion, and coronary dissection can be challenging, but answers can be found in the medical history and accident details. The trauma surgeon in the emergency department must always be interested in clarifying the cause of trauma and keeping a secondary diagnosis in mind to strive for the goal of optimal and complete polytrauma care.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
