Summary: | .Blunt abdominal trauma may cause injury to various internal
organs.
• It is often difficult to accurately evaluate the site and extent of suspected internal injury clinically
• Intra-abdominal injury may be masked by more obvious or
compelling injuries elsewhere
• The management of patients with solid organ injuries has
changed dramatically, in most cases treatment has shifted from early surgical treatment to non-operative management
• Hence, CT scan plays an important role in patient’s management as it provided a rapid, accurate assessment of abdominal viscera, retroperitoneum and abdominal wall |
