Abstract

Myocardial infarction is a rare complication of traumatic thoracic deceleration. The authors report the case of anterior myocardial infarction with dissection of the left anterior descending artery in a 16 year old boy who was injured in a motorbike accident without a penetrating thoracic wound. Therefore, the only pathological mechanism was deceleration. The authors review the 12 previously reported cases.
