Abstract EN
Myocardial rupture is a rare imaging diagnosis given its clinical severity and high mortality.
Early findings should be promptly communicated to the trauma service to ensure immediate intervention.
We present a rare case of blowout perforation of the right ventricle which was prospectively diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) leading to emergent operative repair.
The patient subsequently survived and was discharged after a lengthy hospital course.
