Abstract
Chest trauma is an important factor that determines the morbidity and mortality in patients admitted with polytrauma. Impeccable clinical examination and chest x-ray is a must in all trauma patients to rule out major chest injuries. We present a case of undiagnosed haemopneumothorax in a haemodynamically stable child without obvious symptoms or signs of chest trauma posted for emergency lower limb surgery after road traffic accident.
