Abstract

Background: Many vital organs (Liver, spleen, kidney, etc) and also vital
vessels like the aorta and many major veins are in the abdominal cavity, so injuries to the abdominal cavity are mostly fatal in the form of hemorrhagic shock or neurogenic shock. Blunt or sharp objects may cause these types of injuries. Which are due to any mode of death.
aims: To study the epidemiological aspect of fatal blunt abdominal injuries.
material and method: In this study 140 cases of abdominal injuries by blunt objects are studied for their various aspect.
results: Most cases are of road traffic accidents (RTA) or any other form of accidents. Most of them are young males between 20-40 years of age. Though the majority of them died within in 1-2 hrs, on the spot or on the way. The nature of injuries is correlated with the history and incident. Involvement of the spleen and liver shows multiple lacerations. Kidney and retroperitoneal were also involved in a significant number of cases. Vertebral, bladder, and uterine injuries were rare.
conclusion: Most of the fatal blunt abdominal injuries were off-road traffic
accidents majority of them have liver or spleen and hemorrhagic shock is the cause of death in almost all cases.
