title: [When a multiple trauma complains about abdominal pains six weeks after the fall. . ].
abstract: A 18-year old patient presents abdominal pains associated with nausea and vomiting six weeks after a multiple trauma leading to paraplegia. Esophagitis, urolithiasis, and acalculous cholecystitis were diagnosed. This report illustrates two rare abdominal complications of a multiple trauma with immobilisation: acalculous cholecystitis, hypercalcaemia, coralliform urolithiasis following urinary infection and bacteriurie with Enterobacter Cloacae. The interpretation of the abdominal semiology of a multiple trauma's patient presenting long-term immobilization may be misleading.
