Ischaemic ileal stenosis following blunt abdominal trauma and demonstrated by CT.
We report a case of blunt abdominal trauma in which delayed ischaemic ileal stenosis occurred. A 24-year-old man presented with symptoms and signs of bowel obstruction 2 weeks after blunt abdominal trauma. Enhanced CT clearly demonstrated a stenotic ileal loop with mural thickening, associated with a mesenteric haematoma. This abnormal ileal loop was resected.
