description We present the case of a 20-year-old male who was transferred to our Major Trauma Centre following a high-speed motor vehicle rollover.

We suspect that both the pre-hospital ICC, as well as the ICC which we replaced it with, were unusually sited in the intrathoracic but extrapleural position.
