abstract="The duodenum is injured mostly due to crushing or shearing forces on the abdomen. The incidence of duodenal injuries due to blunt trauma is 1% to 4%. Duodenal injury comprises 0.2-3.7% of all trauma-related laparotomies. On an average, one to four other abdominal organ injuries are associated with duodenal trauma, which makes an isolated injury rare.[2] The anatomical location of the duodenum makes the diagnosis of an isolated duodenal injury a difficult task. Due to its rarity and subtle clinical features, its diagnosis and management is often delayed.   We report two cases of isolated duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
