Trauma - +FAST in Morrison's Pouch from Splenic Injury
Caption
20s M presented with abdominal and back pain several hours after a fall off a ladder, and on FAST exam, had free fluid seen here in Morrison’s pouch, as well as a large amount of free fluid seen in the pelvis/lower abdomen. He was slightly tachycardic but normotensive, so underwent CT of the abdomen/pelvis, which demonstrated a significant spleen injury which was managed by IR embolization.
