Abdominal aortic injury secondary to blunt abdominal aortic trauma (BAAI) is rare in children but frequently occurs in association with other injuries, including bowel injury and vertebral fracture. We present a case of a 14-year-old boy who sustained a partial transection of the infrarenal aorta with a lumbar chance fracture and small bowel injury after a motor vehicle accident. Repair was performed with bowel resection followed by Dacron graft interposition. We reviewed the literature on BAAI in children with a focus on the method of repair of these injuries.
