title: [Epidemiology and monitoring of closed abdominal injuries].
abstract: The authors review the epidemiological and aetiopathogenetic characteristics of abdominal blunt injuries (118 cases) monitored in a homogeneous manner. The relatively young age of the patients, the diagnostic difficulties encountered and the frequent presence of associated lesions call for the rigorous application of a predetermined clinico-diagnostic protocol.
