Blunt trauma resulting in rib fractures can be associated with hemothorax, pneumothorax, pulmonary contusions or less frequently chest and abdominal wall hematomas. Our case describes the first report of hemoperitoneum secondary to intercostal arterial bleeding from blunt trauma in a patient on anticoagulation.

Background Abdominal stab injury is potential life-threatening injuries. Operation should be considered if wound violate the peritoneal layer and/or complicated with hemodynamic compromise, peritonitis, impalement, or evisceration. It is well known there are several diagnostic tools to evaluate the necessity of operation for a patient with abdominal stab injury. Despite numerous diagnostic tool...

In the pediatric patient, traumatic injury is the leading cause of death and blunt trauma is themost commonmechanism of injury. Renal injuries account for 8 to 12% of pediatric blunt abdominal injuries. Children, more so than adults, are prone to sustain major renal injury due to blunt trauma given the relatively large size of pediatric kidneys and decreased protection in children.1–3 The prima...

BACKGROUND Blunt abdominal trauma in childhood contributes significantly to both morbidity and mortality. Selective non-operative management of blunt abdominal trauma in children depends on both diagnostic and clinical factors. Computed tomography (CT) scanning is widely used to facilitate better management. Increased availability of CT may, however, result in its overuse in the management of b...

INTRODUCTION Delayed diagnosis of patients with severe liver injuries is associated with an adverse outcome. As computed tomographic (CT) scan is not always available in the management of blunt abdominal trauma worldwide, the present study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of selected haematological markers in predicting the presence of hepatic injury and its severity after blunt abdomin...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role MDCT in detecting and predicting blunt bowel mesenteric injuries. Materials methods: This is a retrospective observational 66 patients (54 males, 12 females, average age 45.5 years) who underwent laparotomy at Nghe An Friendship General Hospital between April 2020 August 2021 with diagnosis and/or injuries abdominal trauma. All these h...

Aneurysm of gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is rare. Most reported cases are due to pancreatitis and atherosclerosis; however, those following pancreatic trauma have not been reported. We encoun- tered GDA aneurysm in a patient of blunt abdominal trauma, who had pancreatic contusion and retroduodenal air on contrast enhanced computed tomography of abdomen. Emergency laparotomy for suspected duodena...

Renal artery thrombosis secondary to blunt abdominal trauma is distinctly rare. We report three cases of unilateral real artery thrombosis patients in our hospital and analyze its clinical diagnosis, therapeutic to the literature on the subject. In light of the classification of traumatic renal pedicle is not very distinct yet, we classify renal artery thrombosis for blunt abdominal trauma as a...

The most common cause of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is blunt or penetrating thoraco-abdominal trauma. The proper diagnosis can be difficult to make due to the non-specific clinical picture. The surgical approach in managing diaphragmatic rupture includes laparotomy, thoracotomy, or both. This article presents a case of a 60year-old woman with post-traumatic peritoneopericardial diaphragmat...

BACKGROUND The majority of renal injury secondary to blunt abdominal trauma can be successfully treated conservatively. In the present study, the clinical features and outcomes of children who presented with renal injury secondary to blunt abdominal trauma were evaluated. METHODS This study was carried out retrospectively using data from children at the Department of Pediatric Surgery who wer...
