Lap seat belts can cause blunt small bowel injuries. This case highlights a rare delayed small bowel stricture after conservative management of such trauma, requiring surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal injury

Background:

  • Lap seat belts are a known cause of blunt small bowel injuries.
  • These injuries typically present immediately and necessitate urgent surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old woman sustained blunt abdominal trauma in a high-speed motor vehicle accident.
  • Initial management involved hospital observation, with gradual improvement allowing a liquid diet.

Findings:

  • The patient presented 6 weeks post-injury with symptoms of obstruction: pain, distension, vomiting, and obstipation.
  • Imaging revealed an 8-cm stricture in the distal jejunum.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates a rare delayed complication of blunt abdominal trauma.
