Abstract

Blunt trauma following Motor Vehicle Collision (MVC) is the most common traumatic presentation to the Emergency department. Injuries mainly manifest as solid organ injuries or hollow viscous injuries. Nevertheless, appendicular injury is not common following blunt abdominal injury. We are reporting a case of 53 years old male who was found out to have a transection of the appendix after a traumatic blunt abdominal injury.
