TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Shared drink and a soft punch: an almost deadly combination JO - BMJ case reports A1 - Klingberg, Karsten A1 - Srivastava, David A1 - Bosbach, Simon A1 - Lehmann, Beat SP - e216424 EP - e216424 VL - 2016 IS - N2 - Injuries of the spleen in blunt abdominal trauma are common and can lead to fatal bleeding. The diagnostic of choice to determine severity and treatment is usually made in contrast-enhanced CT. In our case we used contrast-enhanced ultrasound to identify the origin of an intra-abdominal bleeding following a minor trauma in a patient with splenomegaly due to an Epstein-Barr virus infection.
