Abdominal aortic injury in a child: intravenous digital subtraction angiogram (IVDSA) for the diagnosis of pediatric vascular trauma

Abstract: Abdominal aortic injury due to trauma is a rare entity, especially in the pediatric population. We report a 6-year-old girl with partial transection of the abdominal aorta as a result of a motor vehicle accident. The diagnosis was made with IVDSA. The patient survived the injury. We discuss the imaging findings, mechanisms, and associated injuries of abdominal aortic trauma in children.

“…Abdominal aortic injuries associated with lumbar Chance fractures and mesenteric injuries secondary to seat belt use are rarely seen in the pediatric population. There have been 9 reported cases in the literature of this triad of injuries, including injury to the bowel, its mesentery, the lumbar spine, and the abdominal aorta, after motor vehicle collisions in pediatric patients [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. We present 3 additional cases to illustrate this unique injury association and review the current literature.…”

“…The evaluation and initial management in the pediatric population of aortic transections parallel that of the adult population [1,3]. Computed tomography scans and possibly angiography are required for diagnosis [8,9]. Open repair either with primary anastomosis or placement of synthetic grafts is the standard of care.…”
