Abstract:
The intestine is the third most commonly injured abdominal organ in blunt trauma. But we had a paucity of experience with these injuries. We experienced bowel ischemia in 55 year-old woman after motor-vehicle accident. She complained nausea, vomiting and weight, loss after traffic accident. We found mucosal hyperemia and intraluminal stenosis of duodenal second portion by the gastroscopy. So, we performed hypotonic duodenography and SMA and celiac angiograpby. Hypotonie duodenography showed a luminal narrowing from duodenojejunal junction to proximal jejunum and proximal dilatation, and SMA angiography showed 10 cm segment hypervascular staining of contrast medium in proximal portion. Therefore we performed jejunal loop segmentectomy. After operation she was discharged without complication.
