| Popis: | The data of nine children with post-traumatic intramural haematoma of the duodenum treated in Aghia Sophia Children's Hospital of Athens from 1967 to 1980 were retrospectively analysed. Diagnosis was preoperative in all but two children, in whom diagnosis was made during laparotomy. All but one were managed by operative intervention which consisted of simple evacuation of the haematoma and closure of the serosal incision in two out of eight children. Six out of eight children operated on were followed up for 15 years, during which they were free of symptoms. Hypotonic duodenography performed in the above patients was negative for deformity or stricture of the duodenum. Injury-International Journal of the Care of the Injured |
