Figure 2
A 2-year-old female presented as a Level 1 Trauma; a contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis (a) was performed, revealing a left sacral fracture (arrow). Subsequently, a radiograph of the pelvis (b) did not demonstrate the same finding, secondary to marked bladder distention following contrast administration for the CT.
