Isolated Jejunal Perforation Following Blunt Abdominal Trauma: A Rare Clinical Entity

Manvendu Jha, Animesh Vatsa

Isolated Jejunal perforation following blunt abdominal trauma is a rare clinical condition. It may easily be missed during first examination or initial radiological studies, so a delay in diagnosis is common. We present a case of isolated blow out Jejunal perforation following blunt abdominal trauma which was not diagnosed in the emergency department and initial radiological assessment. Diagnosis was established 10 hrs later following serial clinical examination and radiological studies. Diagnosing an isolated small intestine injury is still a medical challenge. However medical observation is a life saving measure.
