title: [Lesions of hollow organs in closed abdominal trauma--the value of computerized tomography].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  evaluation of the clinical and radiological criteria for laparotomy in intestinal lacerations after a blunt abdominal trauma. Determination of the different radiological signs from the CT scan and the sensitivity of this examination in the diagnosis of intestinal lacerations.
  
  
  METHODS
  retrospective study.
  
  
  METHODS
  we selected all patients operated for intestinal laceration caused by a blunt abdominal trauma during the period of 1986 to 1995. The clinical and radiological criteria for laparotomy in these patients were determined. Correlation of the radiological signs from the CT-Scan and the surgical findings was used to determine the sensitivity of the CT-scan. We distinguished patients who had an abdominal CT-scan from those patients for which no CT was done.
