Blunt abdominal trauma mostly results from motor vehicle accidents, recreational accidents, falls or assaults with commonly injured internal organs being the spleen, liver, retroperitoneum, small bowel, kidneys, bladder, colorectal, diaphragm and pancreas. Gastric rupture is quite uncommon. Isolated gastric perforations following blunt trauma to the abdomen are mostly seen in paediatric patients. It is uncommon in adult patients and even rarer is the occurrence of double gastric perforations. We report here with a case of isolated double gastric perforation in a 24-year-old male patient following vehicular accident.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
