A rare case of the blunt abdominal injuries--forming a clinical entity--intramural duodenal haematoma is reported. The symptoms of IMDH may appear--non specifically--after a longer interval. The diagnosis is assured in the first place by careful anamnesis and on the basis of the characteristic radiological signs. The treatment may be--depending on the extent of the obstruction--conservative or surgical--in the latter case mostly the evacuation of the haematoma is performed.
