    Delayed post-traumatic intestinal obstruction can occur after blunt trauma. Early roentgenologic evaluation is key for diagnosis, with arteriography considered for suspected cases, leading to effective surgical treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Radiology
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Delayed intestinal obstruction following blunt abdominal trauma is an uncommon but significant complication.
    • The pathophysiology is often occult, presenting weeks or months after the initial injury.
    • Increasing incidence of blunt trauma necessitates awareness of these delayed presentations.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of delayed post-traumatic intestinal obstruction are presented.
    • Roentgenographic and pathologic findings were analyzed.
    • Literature review was conducted to understand the variable pathophysiology.

    Findings:

    • Occult intra-abdominal injuries can lead to delayed intestinal obstruction.
    • Routine roentgenologic evaluation is typically diagnostic.

  • Arteriography may be necessary if contrast studies are normal but suspicion remains high.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians must consider delayed intestinal obstruction in patients with post-traumatic abdominal complaints.
    • Prompt diagnosis via imaging is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Surgical intervention for diagnosed obstruction is effective and straightforward.
