This case study details a rare childhood blunt traumatic abdominal hernia where the colon and jejunum herniated anterior to the sternum. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing this pediatric emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Abdominal Wall Defects

Background:

  • Blunt abdominal trauma in children can lead to rare complications.
  • Herniation of abdominal contents into subcutaneous tissue is uncommon.
  • Sternoclavicular hernias are exceedingly rare, especially secondary to trauma.

Observation:

  • A child presented with a large subcutaneous pocket anterior to the sternum containing herniated colon and jejunal loops.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed using radiologic imaging.
  • Associated intra-abdominal injuries were ruled out through thorough exploration.

Findings:

  • Acute blunt traumatic abdominal hernia involving the sternocutaneous region.
  • Successful surgical management included bowel reduction, debridement, and primary tension-free defect closure.
