Abstract

The authors report the case of patient (second pregnancy, first birth) who had been involved in a traffic accident which occurred on October 5, 1989 after 7 months of pregnancy. The trauma was scored 2 on the international Overall Abbreviated Injury Scale. The impact was frontal and the patient driving and wearing her seatbelt. After being admitted to hospital on several occasions with metrorrhagia and uterine contractions, it was decided to carry out a cesarian and a baby was successfully removed. The child presented with angulation of the left fore-arm and skeletal X-ray, particularly of the arms, revealed a fracture line with a callous already formed.
