Background:

Blunt abdominal trauma frequently results in multiple organ injuries.
Diagnosis of vascular lesions, such as superior mesenteric artery injury, can be challenging.

Observation:

A case involving blunt trauma to the upper abdomen with multiple organ injury is presented.
A superior mesenteric artery lesion was initially undiagnosed during operative intervention.

Findings:

The case details the subsequent diagnosis and management of the undiagnosed superior mesenteric artery injury.
A review of existing literature on blunt injury to the superior mesenteric artery is included.

Implications:

Highlights the diagnostic challenges and critical importance of identifying superior mesenteric artery injuries in blunt abdominal trauma.
Underscores the need for thorough vascular assessment in patients with significant abdominal trauma.
Informs surgical and diagnostic strategies for managing complex abdominal vascular injuries.
