Abstract
Intestinal & Mesenteric injury in blunt abdominal trauma is infrequent & more common in penetrating
injuries [1-6]. CT is an effective imaging modality for diagnosis, but not always reliable to pick up
intestinal & mesenteric injuries. Henceforth possess a diagnostic difculty & results in therapeutic delay. Limited literature is
available in this domain. Here, we report a case of 26 year old male with blunt abdominal injury, kept initially under observation
& taken up for emergency surgery due to hemodynamic instability. Patient underwent Hartman's procedure. Currently, patient is
healthy. Purpose behind this paper, is to raise clinical suspicion of intestinal & mesenteric injuries in high impact blunt
abdominal trauma, need for additional research to aid in timely diagnosis & denitive management & decreased morbidity &
mortality.
