Abstract

Cardiac injury following blunt chest trauma is known to occur, but traumatic rupture of ventricular septum is a rare injury, especially following blunt chest trauma. A case of a 20-year-old male is presented who fell on his back from a 9th-floor window and was resuscitated for 3 hours to no avail. Post-mortem examination confirmed a fracture of the pelvis, pulmonary contusion and rupture of ventricular septum of the heart.
