Abstract

Blunt abdominal aortic rupture is a rare and almost invariably fatal injury that usually occurs as a consequence of motor vehicle accidents. The case of a patient who sustained a nonfatal abdominal aortic rupture while playing soccer is reported. This is the third nonfatal case to be described and the first as the result of a sporting injury.
