Grade V splenic injury in an 18-year old man after his motorbike hit a lorry. Axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed shattered spleen with large-volume haemoperitoneum which was confirmed intraoperatively. Note the focal high attenuation (arrow) due to active hemorrhage. Splenectomy was done for this patient.
