Zusammenfassung

Bei Verkehrsunfällen kann es auch bei Kindern, die durch einen Kindersitz gesichert sind, durch das Gurtsystem zu schweren intrathorakalen und intraabdominellen Verletzungen kommen. Wir berichten über ein nicht korrekt fixiertes Kleinkind, bei dem sich ein gurtbedingtes Akzelerationstrauma (Duodenalruptur) erst nach einem beschwerdefreien Intervall klinisch manifestierte.

Abstract

In case of an accident, it can happen that even kids restrained in a child safety seat can sustain serious intrathoracic or intra-abdominal injuries caused by the safety belt system. We present the case of a toddler who had not been correctly strapped in a safety belt who suffered an acceleration trauma (rupture of the duodenum) caused by the safety belt which only became evident after a period without any hints of injuries.
