Abstract

Hollow viscera and mesentery injuries are relatively uncommon, both in penetrating trauma (17% of cases) and in blunt trauma (1% of cases). Due to the variety of clinical presentations, diagnostic uncertainties can lead to serious consequences in cases of missed lesions with delayed treatment.
