We report the sudden death of a 23-year-old male with hairline ankle fracture after massage of the leg by his mother. Autopsy confirmed the cause of death as pulmonary thromboembolism due to deep vein thrombosis of the leg veins which was dislodged and travelled to his lungs consequent to the leg massage. The treating doctors did not warn the patient of the risk of developing pulmonary thromboembolism.
我们报告了一名23岁男性在其母亲为其腿部按摩后,因脚踝骨折线突然死亡的病例。尸检证实死因是腿部静脉深静脉血栓形成导致的肺血栓栓塞,腿部按摩致使血栓脱落并转移至肺部。主治医生未就发生肺血栓栓塞的风险向患者发出警告。
