Abstract

Duodenal injuries are uncommon and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to delayed diagnosis (in the case of blunt trauma) or associated major vascular injuries (in the case of penetrating trauma). Isolated blunt injuries may have a subtle clinical presentation, and are particularly difficult to diagnose when the perforation is located in the retroperitoneal part of the duodenum.
