Post traumatic jejunal perforation: A series of 3 cases and literature review

Abstract

Background: Isolated jejunal perforation caused by blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon and most often seen after motor vehicle accidents. We present 3 cases of “blowout” perforation of the jejunum who were admitted to Dhiraj hospital with intense abdominal pain following a blunt abdominal trauma. Conclusion: Although diagnosis of traumatic jejunal perforation is challenging a high index of clinical suspicion with physical examinations and the available appropriate imaging modalities we can arrive at diagnosis.
