Case Reports[Severe retrosacral hemorrhage without bone injury following defenestration].
We describe the case of original haemorrhagic shock after a 22-year-old woman suicidal jumping. The first radiological evaluation showed only a non-bleeding fracture of the first lumbar vertebra (CT-scan) and a calcaneum fracture. Pelvic ring was normal. ⋯ The early diagnosis was difficult because of the vertebral fracture that constrained strict dorsal position. We could not see the important haematoma without moving the patient. We have not found any description of a severe haemorrhagic shock secondary to a single blunt gluteal muscle.
