Résumé

Mesenteric injuries and traumatic intussusception are rare surgical presentations following blunt trauma, with potentially life-threatening complications. Diagnosis relies on high clinical suspicion and judicious use of imaging in trauma. Literature suggests that these presentations should always be managed operatively for diagnostic clarity, manual reduction of intussusception and, if indicated, resection of involvement segment. However, in the setting of a stable patient with a reassuring examination, this may not be necessary. This case presents the successful expectant management of a traumatic mesenteric haematoma acting as a pathologic lead point for small bowel intussusception.
