[Right atrial rupture following a hoof kick to the chest wall]. / Rupture de l'auricule droit après traumatisme thoracique fermé secondaire à un coup de sabot.

Several myocardial lesions can be induced by thoracic blunt trauma. It varies from myocardial lesions to heart rupture. We report a case of right atrial rupture due to unusual blunt trauma: a hoof kick. We describe a successful management of this case. We suggest that a diagnosis of cardiac chamber rupture should be considered in all cases of blunt thoracic trauma.
