Vertical aortic rupture due to Blunt Thoracic Trauma | Dr. Rishi Rajindran
Channel: Forensic 365

Blunt thoracic aortic injury, a life-threatening concern, remains the second most common cause of
mortality among all non-penetrating traumatic injuries, second only to intracranial haemorrhage. Horizontal forces result in the tearing of the aorta at its fixed position and vertical
forces result in the bursting of the aorta at its weaker portions, mainly at the isthmus. From the
forensic and biomechanical point of view, such ruptures have been almost exclusively found to be
transverse in nature, irrespective of their location. The significance of such ruptures in the reconstruction of chain of events from a forensic perspective
doesn’t need to be overemphasized. Rather uncommon and interesting findings like these, call for
better explanations in terms of mechanisms of injury that may additionally contribute to the clinical
research and management of casualties.
