[Delayed perforation of the cecum and sigmoid colon after blunt abdominal trauma in a patient with multiple injuries].
Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim. 2007 Jun-Jul; 54(6):381-3.RE

Abstract

Blunt abdominal trauma can damage the intestinal vasculature and may occasionally lead to delayed intestinal perforation, associated with a combined rate of morbidity and mortality of 25%. The diagnosis of such complications is hindered by sedation in critical patients, however, and morbimortality in this population is therefore higher. We report the case of a man with multiple injuries admitted to the intensive care unit, where delayed perforations of the sigmoid colon and cecum were diagnosed. The management of blunt abdominal trauma is reviewed and the possible causes, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for colon injuries are discussed.
