Seat belt injury causing delayed sigmoid colon fistula.

S Patil1, T H Brown.   

Abstract

Seat belt use can decrease the mortality rate associated with road traffic accidents (RTA). However, there is an increased risk of bowel perforations among seat belt wearers, possibly as a result of improper use. A case is reported of a female passenger who presented with an abdominal wall fistula 2 weeks after a RTA.
