Abstract
A 59-year-old hemodynamically stable female is admitted following a domestic fall with blunt left sided thoraco-abdominal trauma. She lived alone and had multiple comorbidities including hepatitis C virus positive splenomegaly, chronic psychosis with a history of opioid and alcohol abuse. A CT-scan of thorax and abdomen with IV contrast showed left lung contusions and multiple left rib fractures with no pneumothorax, a high grade splenic injury with intra-parenchymal hematoma and small arterial blushes in the superior splenic pole associated with celiac trunk stenosis, mild intra-abdominal free fluid and grade II injury to the left kidney.
