title: [Pulmonary embolism as a rare complication of a contusion in the inguinal region].
abstract: In the submitted case-history the authors describe the clinical case of an adolescent patient who developed phlebothrombosis of the right ileofemoral area one year after a blunt injury in the scrotal and right inguinal area. The symptoms of pulmonary embolism were detected sooner than the symptoms of phlebothrombosis. Two-dimensional echocardiography provided valuable information when the authors monitored the dynamics of changes in acute cor pulmonale and the effect of administered treatment.
