Isolated traumatic laceration of the azygos vein is a rare condition that is mainly associated with violent deceleration traumas. Diagnosis is crucially based on radiologic evidence of massive right pleural bleeding and hemorrhagic shock. Surgical exploration needs to be early and concomitant with resuscitation, prognosis largely depending on timely intervention. Median sternotomy provides the most advantageous access because it can be quickly performed and allows for surgical exploration.
