Article Synopsis
- The abdomen is commonly affected in trauma cases, with blunt trauma being more dangerous than penetrating trauma, often leading to serious outcomes.
- Diagnostic challenges in blunt abdominal trauma can result in delayed treatment, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality, especially for hollow viscus and mesenteric injuries.
- A case study highlights a 48-year-old male with a mid-ileal mesenteric tear and perforation who was treated successfully after a 96-hour delay post-injury through laparotomy and primary anastomosis.
Article Synopsis
- Caecal volvulus (CV) is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction caused by the twisting of the caecum and nearby structures, often leading to vague symptoms.
- A 37-year-old man presented with symptoms similar to an obstructed hernia and was diagnosed with CV after imaging showed a dilated ileum and collapsed colon, followed by emergency surgery.
- Successful recovery post-surgery emphasizes the importance of considering rare conditions like CV in abdominal pain cases and highlights the need for effective imaging and diagnostic strategies.
