Cardiac Rupture Due to Fall: a Case Report

Falls commonly seen in all age groups are important causes of morbidity and mortality. Traumatic cardiac rupture due to falls is rarely seen. A three-year-old boy was admitted to our emergency department in shock with 112 ambulance. The child had fallen from a height of 20 meters. Death was seen as a result of the rupture of the right ventricle at the autopsy.
