Figure 9:
Grade II splenic injury in a 14-year-old girl injured in motor vehicle accident. Computed tomography scan was done 2 days after the accident demonstrated intraparenchymal haematoma (arrow) less than 4 cm in diameter with no capsular tear. Surgery was performed in this case for continuous blood loss. There were lacerations of left broad ligament with bleeding from branches of left ovarian artery (images not shown). Splenic capsule was intact.
