Abstract
This report described a patient who, though exhibiting no physical signs of chest trauma, had fatal blunt traumatic rupture of the main pulmonary blood vessels, unaccompanied by bronchial injury. A high index of suspicion for such intrathoracic injury should prompt a chest x-ray film in any case of multiple trauma.Keywords
