Main Results:

  • Diagnosis often necessitates advanced imaging, such as contrast studies.
  • Physical examination findings can be nonspecific, complicating early detection.
  • Morbidity and mortality are significantly linked to the presence of associated injuries and diagnostic delays.

Conclusions:

  • A high index of suspicion is paramount for diagnosing duodenal injuries.
  • Timely diagnosis and appropriate operative management are essential.
  • Associated injuries and delayed diagnosis are key determinants of patient prognosis.
