Gastric rupture following multiple blunt trauma

[摘要] Gastric injury due to trauma is a rare complication that occurs in approximately 0.04%-1.2% of all instances of abdominal trauma . When imaging trauma cases, certain areas can be obscured by several inevitable reasons. Despite its rarity, the high mortality rate of a gastric injury requires an early and accurate diagnosis. We present the case of an 18-year-old male who suffered a gastric rupture of the greater curvature following a road traffic collision before providing a brief review of the literature.
