Seat Belt Injury Diagnosed as Perforation of the 4th Portion of the Duodenum Two Days after a Traffic Accident: A Case Report
We report a case of duodenal injury and abdominal aortic dissection caused by a seat belt during a collision. The reason may be that the seat belt moved toward the upper abdomen during the collision, causing compression of the abdominal organs between the seat belt and the spine. Considering the possibility of delayed duodenal perforation, it is important to perform a CT scan again and select an appropriate treatment according to the situation.
