Gastric perforation following blunt abdominal trauma.
Trauma Case Reports 2017 August
Gastric perforations following blunt abdominal trauma are rare, accounting for < 2% of all blunt abdominal injuries. Isolated blunt gastric ruptures are uncommon. They are usually associated with other solid visceral injuries. Injuries to the stomach are associated with the highest mortality of all hollow viscus injuries. Severity of the injury, timing of presentation and presentation following the last meal as well as concomitant injuries are important prognostic factors. Imaging modalities may be unreliable in making a diagnosis and thus clinical vigilance is mandatory. We present a patient with gastric perforation following blunt abdominal trauma and review the literature.
