TY - JOUR PY - 1980// TI - Rupture of intestine and mesentery due to fall from height JO - Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin A1 - Vock, R. SP - 119 EP - 126 VL - 85 IS - 2 N2 - Twenty-five cases of falls from heights are reported under the aspect of lesions of the intestinal tract depending on height of fall and impact. Rupture of mesentery occurred in five cases, in only one case a rupture of intestinal wall. The results verify the thesis, asserted in a recent investigation of injuries caused by maltreatment: direct and not indirect forces lead to isolated lesions of intestinal tract.
