TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Softball injury causing haemoperitoneum due to ruptured Meckel's mesodiverticular band JO - New Zealand medical journal A1 - Woodfield, Julie A1 - Barnett, Mark A1 - Shapkov, Peter SP - 95 EP - 97 VL - 124 IS - 1344 N2 - A 16-year-old male sustained an intra-abdominal haemorrhage after diving for last base during a softball game. At laparotomy a ruptured patent mesodiverticular band supplying a large Meckel's diverticulum was found. Traumatic rupture of a mesodiverticular band leading to massive intra-abdominal haemorrhage is a rare event, and has never been reported as a single injury or in the context of a sport's injury.
