“…[19][20][21] The mortality rate of patients with aortic rupture who reach the hospital ranges from 7%-55%. [22][23][24] Rapid diagnosis is the cornerstone in the management of these patients. In a patient with a normal chest radiograph, diagnosis of the injured aorta must be excluded.…”

Cardiac injuries are classified as blunt and penetrating injuries. In both the injuries, the major issue is missing the diagnosis and high mortality. Blunt cardiac injuries (BCI) are much more common than penetrating injuries. Aiming at a better understanding of BCI, we searched the literature from January 1847 to January 2012 by using MEDLINE and EMBASE search engines. Using the key word "Blunt Cardiac Injury," we found 1814 articles; out of which 716 articles were relevant. Herein, we review the causes, diagnosis, and management of BCI. In conclusion, traumatic cardiac injury is a major challenge in critical trauma care, but the guidelines are lacking. A high index of suspicion, application of current diagnostic protocols, and prompt and appropriate management is mandatory.

“…Although catheter-directed thoracic aortography is the well-established gold standard in the detection of acute traumatic thoracic injury [38,47], CT is the most sensitive imaging method in the detection of mediastinal hematoma as an indicator of aortic traumatic injury [7,46,48,49]. It should be kept in mind that mediastinal hematoma is an indirect sign of aortic injury and may not in fact always relate to an aortic injury [20,50].…”

This report describes a patient who presented to our institution after a high-speed motor vehicle accident with an abnormal superior mediastinum as shown on supine chest radiograph. Helical computed tomographic aortography and thoracic aortography revealed the patient to have a pseudoaneurysm in a rarely encountered site, in the anterolateral region of the right brachiocephalic artery. The imaging features of this case and the relevant literature are reviewed.
