Swordfish Attack: Imaging Findings
Imaging findings in penetrating injuries are extremely
rare. We present these findings from swordfish attack
on a young woman. In the past, only such 4 cases
had been written in references. The rareness of this
case is indicating the valuable of imaging modali-
ties.
Key words:
swordfish attack, CT, MRI
