ISOLATED JEJUNAL PERFORATION FOLLOWING BLUNT ABDOMINAL TRAUMA
Journal Title: Çukurova Anestezi ve Cerrahi Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: Isolated jejunal perforation caused by blunt abdominal trauma is rare and most often seen after motor vehicle accidents and falling down from height. In this article, a case of blunt abdominal trauma which was admitted to the emergency department with the complaint of falling from the high places is presented. Even though the first physical and radiological examinations were normal, isolated jejunal perforation was detected in control examinations and control radiological images while the patient was under observation. Control examinations, control radiological images and prolonging the observation time are very important even when the examinations performed with the idea of isolated small bowel injury in blunt trauma patients are normal. Keeping such trauma cases under observation is extremely important to detect life threatening problems. Early diagnosis and treatment is very important for prevention of possible complications and mortality.
