[Traumatic stenosis of the small intestine (author's transl)].

A case of fibrotic stenosis of the small intestine which occurred 10 days after blunt abdominal trauma in a child is reported. This was successfully treated with a segmental small bowel resection. A careful inquiry as to a previous blunt abdominal trauma has to be made in any case, especially in children, in which a fibrotic stenosis of the small intestine is discovered.
