An interesting sport injury: Duodenal trauma

Abstract

Diagnosis, management and postoperative care of duodewl injuries are, difficult, especially when the duodenum was injured by blunt trauma. Injury towdjacent organs commonly accompanies duodenal trauma. Here we present a male patient, who suffered from a blunt trauma leading to com*' solated duodenal rupture and was managed by means of primary repair with retrograde duodenostomy. In this regard, we also uiscussed diagnostic modalities, causes of delayed diagnosis and management of duodenal injuries and reviewed literature.
