[Delayed post-traumatic stenosis of the small bowel: report of a case (author's transl)].

The authors present a rare case of delayed post-traumatic stenosis of the small intestine localized in the mid jejunum, due to blunt abdominal trauma. Several physiopathological and radiodiagnostic problems are reviewed. The lesion belongs, in our opinion, to the wide group o ischaemic stenoses of the digestive tract and is interpreted as the effect of vascular damage to the mesentery with the formation of an intramural haematoma.
