Peritoneal and Mesenteric Trauma

  • Chapter
Book cover CT of the Peritoneum

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Abdominopelvic traumas can produce contusions, dilacerations, peritoneal and ligamental avulsions, fractures of parenchymatous organs, perforation of the bowel, rupture of the biliary and urinary tracts, and tear or rupture of vessels with penetration of fluid (blood, urine, bile) or gas into the peritoneal cavity and the subperitoneal spaces.
