Duodenal stenosis from retroperitoneal fibrosis secondary to traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma: a case report.
A case is presented of retroperitoneal fibrosis secondary to post-traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma, resulting in duodenal obstruction six years after the traumatic event. The fibrotic encasement of the duodenum and the head of pancreas made it necessary to perform an "en bloc" resection, with excellent results both immediately and after three years of follow-up.
