ABSTRACT
Although closed abdominal trauma is a frequent entity, its
association with gastric injury is rare (approximately a 1.7%);
however, it is a possibility that should always be taken into
consideration during its evaluation. In addition to its transcendence
as an isolated finding, its correlation with other lesions
is essential. We present the following case not only because
of the low frequency with which these sort of lesions are
observed, but also because of its anomalous clinical features
that make any suspicion virtually impossible, except for the
mechanism of the trauma.
