    Area of Science:

    • Trauma surgery
    • Gastrointestinal surgery
    • Abdominal trauma

    Background:

    • Jejunal rupture from blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to subtle clinical signs and non-specific lab findings.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of jejunal rupture following blunt abdominal trauma (motorcycle accident, abdominal punch) are presented.
    • Both patients initially presented with unremarkable abdominal examinations.

    Findings:

    • Surgical repair of the jejunal ruptures led to uneventful recovery in both cases.
    • Delayed diagnosis and treatment of small bowel rupture are associated with high morbidity and mortality.

    Implications:

    • Jejunal rupture should be suspected in patients with significant blunt abdominal trauma and persistent pain.
