False negative of pericardial effusion using focused assessment with sonography for trauma and enhanced CT following traumatic cardiac rupture; A case report

摘要

The focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examination is helpful for the identification of pericardial effusion in trauma. However, in a cardiac rupture with a pericardial perforation, pericardial effusion is not always detected by FAST. We experienced the case that FAST and enhanced CT failed to detect pericardial effusion.
