Abstract

Post-traumatic duodenal ruptures are rare. Diagnosis remains difficult due to the anatomical characteristics of the duodenum. Medical observation: the authors report a case of post-traumatic duodenal rupture following a road traffic accident, diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) and treated surgically. Although rare, duodenal ruptures are an emergency for all radiologists. The anatomical complexity of the duodeno-pancreatic region and its proximity to vascular and mesenteric structures explain the rich semiology. Careful radiological analysis is essential to facilitate the surgical procedure. Duodenal rupture is an emergency to be aware of and investigated in all cases of road trauma, especially in the case of blunt trauma. Diagnosis is based on CT scan.
