- Abstract
Abdominal wall disruption is a rare complication of blunt abdominal trauma, diagnosis of which is often missed. We present a case of 41 year old gentleman presented with swelling over anterior abdomen secondary to blunt abdominal trauma. Physical examination and CECT abdomen revealed traumatic abdominal wall disruption with herniation of viable small bowel loops. He was treated with elective open hernia repair using mesh plasty. Our case reinforces the need for early diagnosis of traumatic abdominal wall disruption and prompt surgical treatment.
