Massive traumatic hemomentocele.
Abstract
A case is reported of a massive hemomentocele caused by rupture of the left gastroepiploic vessels following blunt abdominal trauma. This injury is previously unreported. Peritoneal aspiration is the simplest method of confirming that intraabdominal bleeding has occurred, but more sophisticated investigations may be needed to diagnose covert trauma.
