Abstract

Mesenteric and intestinal injuries resulting from blunt abdominal trauma are relatively uncommon, but can be life-threatening. In this case, we present the story of a 46-year-old man who experienced blunt abdominal trauma due to a traffic accident. We will examine the specific and non-specific radiological findings that should alert us to the possibility of mesenteric or intestinal injury in such cases.
