Upper series (a-d): First trauma computed tomography scan without any signs for free abdominal fluid or air, no signs for the extravasation of the radiocontrast agent in the abdominal or pelvic cavity (indicating a vascular injury), and no signs for a greater hematoma in the small pelvis. Lower series (e-h): Second trauma computed tomography scan 90 minutes later still revealed no free abdominal fluid or air, no signs of extravasation of the radiocontrast agent in the thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic cavity, and no signs for a progressing hematoma of the spleen or in the small pelvis
