Abstract

Localisation of the duodenum is usually retroperitoneal and its exposure to trauma is rare. But any damage to the duodenum can have serious consequences. Duodenal hematoma most commonly develops after abdominal blunt trauma. We present a six-year-old boy with duodenal hematoma as a rare cause of abdominal pain. © 2012 Düzce Medical Journal.
