CHIEF COMPLAINT
Multiple injuries secondary to vehicular accident
II.
One day PTC (8/17/14 4 AM), patient was riding a taxi on a passenger seat when a head on collision with a truck occurred.
Patient claimed to have lost consciousness and have no recollection of the said event. He woke up in a hospital in Pasig City
complaining of 6/10 left sided hip pain and 7/10 left sided chest pain on deep inspiration; both of which are characterized as
crushing, worsened by movement and relieved with rest. No headache, nausea, or vomiting were noted. AP view xrays were
ordered and showed no noticeable fractures. Patient was then cleared from initial assessment and was allowed to go home after
given mefenamic acid, amoxicillin, and muciprocin ointment as home medication.
Few hours PTC (8/18/14 6 PM), patient noted that he could not move his left leg due to 7/10 left hip pain; persistence of
which prompted ER consult in our institution and subsequent referral to Orthopedic service.

DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS/ COURSE IN THE WARDS
08/18/2014
IMAGING (initial reading/ xray)
C7 vertebral body, posterior process, and the cervicothoracic junction are not visualized in the lateral view
There is a cortical irregularity seen along the interoinferior endplate of the C2 vertebral body seen in the
lateral view. Minimally developed spur is seen along C4 and C5 vertebral bodies. The rest of the visualized
vertebral bodies, disc spaces, and posterior elements are intact. There is no evidence of spondylolisthesis/
dislocation. The cervical lordosis is straightened, which may be positional in nature
nd
The complete, displaced, fracture, of the left 2 rib is partly seen in this study. Cortical irregularities along
the anteroinferior C2 vertebral body endplate for which the fracture cannot be excluded. Further evaluation
with CT is suggested if clinically indicated
Mild degenerative osseous changes
nd
Fracture of the LEFT 2 rib, as described

MEDICATION
Current medication: Celecoxib, Dolcet, Amoxicillin, Mefenamic acid, Mupirocin
IMAGING
Cranial CT: no bleed, linear frature maxillary alveolar ridge; Pelvic/ chest/ skull Xrays: unremarkable
Chest CT: multiple rib fracture; possible pulmonary contusion/ hematoma/ pneumonia, minimal bilateral
pleural effusion with atelectasis and consolidation, pleural thickening in the right upper hemithorax
Spinal Xray: anteroinferior C2 vertebral body endplate fracture on Philadelphia collar
OTHER
Referral to ENT service for facial CT evaluation
