ABSTRACT
Blunt chest trauma remains a public health problem due to the severity of caused injuries, diagnostic difficulties and therapeutic orientation. There is no correlation between the parietal lesions and endothoracic abnormalities. Instead radiological examinations are far from accurate. Through a study of 72 cases of closed chest trauma and a literature review we propose to identify risk factors of endothoracic lesions, to clarify the role of radiological examinations in the exploration of these injuries and propose a decisional algorithm.
