Our patient’s Radiologic Diagnosis
• Bowel and mesenteric vessel injury– (Indicated by extravasated contrast in low-mid
abdomen)• Spleen laceration

Our patient’s OR findings
• IMA avulsion
• Sigmoid colon ischemia– Serosa damage, hematoma– No perforation
• Large septated spleen

Hospital Course
• Extubated & sent to floor on POD #1• Transfused 2 units pRBC on POD #3• Post-op ileus on POD #6• Discharged to rehab on POD #14

Discussion: Mechanism of injury• Compression
– Solid organ impact on spine or body wall• Spleen, liver, pancreas, duodenum
– Hollow organ rupture due to increased pressure• Bowel
• Deceleration– Shearing of vessels
• Major arteries, mesenteric vessels– Bowel damage
• Fixation points

Menu of tests
• Plain films
• Ultrasound– Focused Abdominal Sonogram for Trauma (FAST)
• CT– IV + oral contrast
