摘要: Stab wounds are often managed conservatively with simple wound assessment and closure. However, even apparently minor thoracic can cause delayed pericardial effusions presenting as life-threatening tamponade sometimes days, weeks or months later. Patients suffering stab to the chest should receive echocardiographic follow-up exclude effusions.
