Abstract
We:report the case of a previously healthy 20-year-old man who had a trauma tic rupture of the right atrium. On admission an electrocardiogram (ECG) wa s recorded which is highly remarkable and, retrospectively, suggestive for the diagnosis. The patient died soon after the EGG, and the diagnosis was m ade at autopsy. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
