| Popis: | We report a case of traumatic duodenal perforation where the diagnosis was first considered during abdominal ultrasound examination. A subsequent CT scan identified the site of perforation which was confirmed at laparotomy. This condition typically produces few clinical signs or symptoms initially but has a high mortality related to delayed diagnosis. The ultrasound findings that prompted early diagnosis are described. |
