[Traumatic rupture of the isthmic region with bowel ischemia (author's transl)]

One case of traumatic rupture of the isthmic region of the aorta is reported. Acute ischemia of the inferior limbs, anuria and paraplegia have led to the diagnosis. During the first hours after the trauma bowel ischemia appeared. The repair of the aorta was achieved within the seven hours after the accident but the bowel ischemia stayed irreversible. A such complication has not been reported in the literature as long as we know and we are think that it is possible to range this complication among some of the ischemic enterocolitis.
