Abstract:
A 4-year-old boy presented with a duodenal hematoma and was admitted for conservative management including nasogastric tube drainage and parenteral nutrition. Within 2 days, the child became fungemic and went on to require urgent laparotomy. This previously undescribed life-threatening complication of duodenal hematoma is discussed in the context of standard treatment of this injury.
