title: [Blunt abdominal trauma with lesion of the abdominal aorta--a case report].
abstract: A 58-year old lady, involved in a head-on motor vehicle crash suffered a severe intestinal injury associated with an intimal flap lesion of the distal abdominal aorta. Thrombotic occlusion of the aortic bifurcation with clinical evidence of lower extremity ischemia was noted. The management of blunt injury to the abdominal aorta is discussed with special regard to placing prosthetic material in a potentially infected field.
