Popis: Duodenal injuries occurring in isolation following trauma are rare. In the abdomen, blunt trauma usually results in isolated duodenal injuries than penetrating injuries. The signs and symptoms of such injuries are subtle which results in delay in seeking medical consultation and subsequent diagnosis. To diagnose these cases, high index of clinical suspicion and early request for contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen is needed. This report explores a case of isolated long segment intra mural hematoma of the duodenum following trivial blunt trauma to the abdomen.
