“…Vascular injuries constitute only 5% of delayed diagnoses [17]. Among children with polytrauma, uretero-pelvic junction injuries were missed in approximately 50% of cases on initial evaluation [59]. Finally, more than 80% of women with a unknown pregnancy are undiagnosed on initial evaluation and clinical guidelines and radiological protocols are not established for emergent imaging in pregnant women [60].…”

The advent of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has drastically improved the outcomes of patients with multiple traumatic injuries. However, there are still diagnostic challenges to be considered. A missed or the delay of a diagnosis in trauma patients can sometimes be related to perception or other non-visual cues, while other errors are due to poor technique or poor image quality. In order to avoid any serious complications, it is important for the practicing radiologist to be cognizant of some of the most common types of errors. The objective of this article is to review the various types of errors in the evaluation of patients with multiple trauma injuries or polytrauma with MDCT.

“…These injuries are more common in males than in females, and they frequently occur at the level of the bulbourethra. 29,30 Injuries to other portions of the urethra may also occur, as may injuries to the prostate and bladder. 29 Extreme care is warranted when placing a urinary catheter in the setting of an anterior pelvic fracture.…”

Appropriate care of pediatric polytrauma patients requires the knowledge and expertise of a variety of subspecialists. Though most of pediatric polytrauma patients survive, long-term sequelae are common. The most common causes of long-term functional deficits after pediatric polytrauma involve injuries to the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Orthopaedic care of polytrauma patients is important to facilitate early mobilization and care of these children, as well as to minimize late impairment.
