[Important radiologic findings following blunt thoracic trauma (author's transl)]. 1976

E Voegeli, and M Bachofen

In patients suffering from traffic accidents traumatic lesions of the chest are of special importance since in 50% of deaths the thoracic trauma is responsible for the final outcome. The fatal course is, however, not always due to severe and irreparable dammage to thoracic organs, but very often due to under-estimation of initial symptoms and thus inadequate treatment. For the proper diagnosis of traumatic lesions of the thorax the plain film of the chest is, therefore, fundamentally important. In this paper, which is mainly dealing with lesions of the airways and lungs, the significance of radiological symptoms is stressed and a correlation with pathophysiologic as well as histologic data is attempted.
