Abstract
Blunt abdominal trauma mostly results from motor vehicle accidents, recreational accidents, falls or assaults with commonly injured internal organs being the spleen, liver, retroperitoneum, small bowel, kidneys, bladder, colorectal, diaphragm and pancreas. Gastric rupture is quite uncommon. Isolated gastric perforations following blunt trauma to the abdomen are mostly seen in paediatric patients. It is uncommon in adult patients and even rarer is the occurrence of double gastric perforations. We report here with a case of isolated double gastric perforation in a 24-year-old male patient following vehicular accident.Entities:
