Jejuno-Ileal Ruptures after Blunt Abdominal Trauma at the Teaching Hospital of Bouake

Diagnosis of small intestinal microperforation by cell morphology detection in abdominal puncture fluid: A case report

“…A small bowel perforation due to blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) is relatively uncommon [ [1] , [2] , [3] ], and the exact mechanism remains controversial. Isolated small intestine microperforation is extremely rare and delayed diagnosis is often frequent, with increased morbidity and mortality [ [4] , [5] , [6] ]. Although there are many pitfalls in the early diagnosis of intestinal perforation by computed tomography angiography (CTA), abdominal CTA examination may be the gold standard for early diagnosis of small intestinal microperforation, especially for those patients with early asymptomatic trauma [ 7 , 8 ].…”
