title: [Contusion and post-traumatic hematoma of the interventricular septum. Report of a case].
abstract: Severe thoracic trauma is a common cause of admission in Intensive Care Units; then heart injury is not a rare finding. We present a case of post-traumatic interventricular dissection and ventricular aneurysm secondary to thoracic trauma caused by traffic accident. We think that ventricular septum injury is a rare finding after chest trauma. Two-dimensional echo-cardiography is an essential procedure in the diagnosis of traumatic heart injury.
