Résumé
Abdominal aortic injury secondary to blunt abdominal aortic trauma (BAAI) is rare in children but frequently occurs in association with other injuries, including bowel injury and vertebral fracture. We present a case of a 14-year-old boy who sustained a partial transection of the infrarenal aorta with a lumbar chance fracture and small bowel injury after a motor vehicle accident. Repair was performed with bowel resection followed by Dacron graft interposition. We reviewed the literature on BAAI in children with a focus on the method of repair of these injuries.
