[Lesions of the gastric mucosa caused by blunt abdominal injury].

Within a casuistic is reported on an 8-year-old boy who suffered from an intestinal haemorrhage due to a blunt abdominal trauma. Due to the endoscopic possibilities which are nowadays at our disposal appeared an alteration of the gastric mucous membrane in our opinion conditioned by contusion which from the macroscopic standpoint let us think of an ulceration. Theoretical fundaments as well as the anamnesis and the clinical course are correlated with our opinion to this case.
