Abstract

Blunt abdominal trauma occurs in 20% of polytraumatized patients, of which approximately 5% may have mesenteric lesions. We present a case of a woman suffering from a blunt abdominal trauma, who underwent computed tomography with evidence of hematoma on the right flank, which was controlled by angioembolization of the superior mesenteric artery. Treatment of mesenteric lesions will be determined according to the hemodynamic status of the patient, since in view of stability, a choice can be made between open surgery and embolization, but in case of instability, laparotomy is recommended.
