From: Spinal injury with spinal ankylosing disorders as a primary cause of death: report of two cases
Computed tomography (CT) images of case 1 in the emergency department. A Enhanced axial CT revealed massive right hemothorax (arrow). Blood clots that appear to be associated with major blood vessels such as the arteries or vessels, including the vena cava. B Sagittal CT revealed a fracture of the first lumbar vertebra (triangle). The fracture site was widely opened. Notably, there was excessive bone bleeding potentiated by distraction and dislocation of the vertebral body, as indicated in B. Fractures of spine ankylosing disorders are considered “long bone fractures”
