Traumatic abdominal wall herniation (TAWH) from bicycle handlebar injuries is rare. Prompt surgical repair of the abdominal wall defect is crucial for successful outcomes in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Background:

  • Traumatic abdominal wall herniation (TAWH) is an uncommon injury.
  • Bicycle handlebar impacts are a rare cause of TAWH, with limited case reports.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy sustained a right lower quadrant abdominal wall defect after a bicycle accident.
  • Clinical examination revealed a bulge, ecchymosis, and tenderness.
  • CT scan demonstrated intestinal loops protruding through an abdominal wall defect into the subcutaneous space.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration confirmed a full-thickness abdominal wall defect involving fascia, muscle, and peritoneum.
  • Bowel was found protruding into the subcutaneous space.
  • The defect was successfully repaired surgically in layers.

Implications:

  • A high index of suspicion for TAWH is recommended in pediatric patients with abdominal trauma.
  • Surgical exploration and layered primary repair are the definitive treatments for TAWH.
  • This case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention for traumatic abdominal wall defects.
