abstract="CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old female presented to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain after involvement as a restrained driver in a motor vehicle collision (MVC). Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a traumatic abdominal wall hernia due to rectus wall rupture with complete bowel herniation. <br><br>DISCUSSION: A traumatic abdominal wall hernia is a rare complication of blunt abdominal trauma that is typically associated with injury from a motorcycle handlebar but is more commonly seen after a MVC. It is important to consider this diagnosis when evaluating patients with abdominal pain after blunt abdominal trauma from either of these mechanisms.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
