Abstract

A 36 year old beautician was admitted with a stab wound after a domestic disturbance. After immediate resuscitation she underwent an emergency laparotomy and splenectomy. She made a full recovery and was discharged after a week. Two days later she was readmitted with a swollen painful left leg. A venogram confirmed a deep vein thrombosis and she received anticoagulants accordingly. The next day she suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest and died despite resuscitative efforts.
