Abstract:
Seat belts have dramatically reduced the severity of traumas in car accidents. On the other hand, specific lesions have appeared, related to seat belt use. These lesions are defined as "seat belt syndrome". The Authors describe an intestinal medio-ileal perforation due to seat belts in a child.
