“…Full thickness rupture fi rst involves the seromuscular layer followed by submucosa and mucosa, respectively. The most common site of rupture is anterior gastric wall followed by greater curvature, lesser curvature and the posterior gastric wall 4 .

Isolated gastric rupture due to blunt trauma is an extremely rare entity in traumatology where the diagnosis can be extremely uncertain. Patients may be lulled into a false sense of security and present late which can be detrimental. Expedient treatment is life saving in this condition which can associated with high morbidity and mortality. We wish to present an interesting case of isolated gastric rupture in an adolescent with a late presentation to the trauma service due to the innocuous nature of the initial injury implying the importance of early time to intervention in their management.

CT results more useful for visualization of intraabdominal free air and detection of associated solid organ injuries.…”

Gastric rupture following blunt abdominal trauma is a rare presentation with a reported incidence of 0.02-1.7% in current literature. Traumatic gastric rupture is usually associated with other visceral injuries, such as splenic lesions and fractures. Prompt diagnosis and early intervention reduce mortality and morbidity. History of a recent meal has been implicated in traumatic gastric rupture. We report a case of blunt abdominal trauma with an isolated gastric rupture after a motor vehicle accident, managed successfully without any post-operative morbidity and mortality.
