A patient with a segmental stricture of the small bowel resulting from blunt abdominal trauma is reported. Symptoms and signs developed as vague abdominal distension with chronic, incomplete small bowel obstruction four weeks after the accident. A small bowel barium examination provided the important images for preoperative evaluation.
