Abdominal plain film: Enlarged shadow of the spleen with blurred margins; elevation - or rupture - of the left diaphragm; homogenous radiodensity in the left hypochondriac region; fractures of ribs or transverse process. Angiography is indicated in doubtful cases to clarify the following lesions: contusion, sub-or extracapsular hematoma, rupture and fragmentation. Possible diagnostic errors in arteriography (63 examined cases) are discussed.
