K1 seatbelt syndrome
K1 submarine effect
AB The seatbelt sign is indicative of severe internal lesions in as many as 30% of cases. In the "submarine effect" the body slides below the belt, acting like hinge. "Seatbelt syndrome" describes the presence of the seat belt sign plus an intra-abdominal or spinal injury. We present the case of a driver in a car accident in whom severe soft tissue and visceral lesions were caused by a two-point seat-belt reproducing a complete "seatbelt syndrome".
